CCS (Combined Charging System)
A widely adopted charging connector for fast-charging electric vehicles.
CCS combines AC and DC charging pins in one connector, allowing both slow and rapid charging through the same port. It's the standard in North America and Europe for modern EVs. The system supports high current delivery and smart communication between charger and vehicle. Compatibility ensures convenience across brands. CCS technology continues to evolve toward ultra-fast charging over 350 kW.
