Can a GB/T car use a CCS2 charger?

Only through a connector or adapter the car's maker approves. Otherwise use a charger with your car's own connector.

Can I charge from a normal household socket?

Some cars come with a portable charger for a household socket. It is slow, and the socket and wiring should be checked by an electrician first. Follow the owner's manual.

Why did my car charge slower than the charger's rating?

The car sets the limit too. Charging power varies with the car and with how full the battery is, and it drops as the battery nears full.

EV charging and connectors

AC charging at home or work is the everyday kind; DC fast charging is for trips. Before relying on any charger, check that its connector fits your car and that the station is open to your vehicle.

AC and DC charging

AC charging: The car's onboard charger converts the supply to charge the battery. Its rating caps the speed, whatever the wall box can supply.
DC fast charging: The charger converts power outside the car and feeds the battery directly. It is the fastest kind, and slows as the battery fills.
Charging time: Depends on battery size, how empty it is, the car's limits and the charger's power. Spec sheets often quote a time between two percentages, such as 30 to 80%.

Connectors you will see

Driving Sathi's charging directory names GB/T and CCS2 where an operator publishes the connector. Many listings do not say, so call ahead.

CCS2: The Combined Charging System used with Type 2. One port on the car takes both the AC plug and the DC fast-charging plug.
Type 2: The AC plug for cars with a CCS2 port, used by most wall boxes for those cars.
GB/T: China's standard. Cars that use it have separate AC and DC inlets.
CHAdeMO: A DC fast-charging standard used mainly by some Japanese cars.

Charging at home

Before installing a wall box, have a qualified electrician check that your supply and wiring can carry the load.
Many distributors offer a home charger with installation; Proton Nepal, for example, offers a 7 kW single-phase unit.
Follow the car's and the charger's instructions. Avoid extension leads and multi-plugs unless the manual allows them.

Using a public charger

1Check the connector and the power on your car's charging flap or in the owner's manual.
2Call the operator to confirm the charger works, fits your car and is open when you arrive.
3Move the car once it has charged, so the next driver can plug in.
