[Jasper]

There are four types of car charging ports, as introduced below: 1. Combo Socket: The Combo socket allows for both slow and fast charging of electric vehicles and is currently the most widely used socket type in Europe. Brands such as Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, GM, Porsche, and Volkswagen will adopt the SAE-defined charging interface in the future. Moreover, this type of socket is also compatible with the Mennekes type. 2. Mennekes Fast Charging Socket: This is an AC fast charging standard and the second most trusted charging socket type under the EU standard system. It can be found in almost all European countries. This three-phase AC charging solution can support up to 44kw capacity and was introduced and named by the German company Mennekes. 3. CEE Standard Charging: The CEE plug is almost the most widely used electrical socket, applicable for both home and outdoor charging stations. This type of 12kw socket can provide a maximum of 32A AC charging as a slow charging method. 4. CHAdeMO Fast Charging Socket: CHAdeMO is a socket supported by Japanese automakers such as Nissan and Mitsubishi. Translated from Japanese, CHAdeMO means 'charging time as short as a tea break.' This DC fast charging socket can provide a maximum charging capacity of 50kw.
