Connectors guides

Plugs look intimidating in photos and are simple in practice: in 2026 almost every new EV sold across the UK, France, Italy and Australia uses Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC rapid charging. Tesla's older proprietary Supercharger plug is being phased out in favour of CCS2 in Europe and Australia, and NACS is the standard in North America. The guide in this section walks through every connector you will actually meet in the wild and which one your car uses.
