    GB\/T Specifications<\/h4>\n

    The GB\/T Plug EV standard is specifically designed for Chinese-made cars and is visually similar to the European Mennekes plug (Type 2)<\/a>. However, it is not technically comparable to it. An additional adapter required to charge your car from Type 1, Type 2 or CHAdeMO stations.<\/p>\n

    The GB\/T plug has two coupler types: 20234.2 for AC and 20234.3 for direct current charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

    AC charging<\/h4>\n

    The GB\/T Plug EV standard has two types of connectors \u2013 one for slow charging and the other for fast charging. The slow-charging connector, also known as the AC connector, is a single-phase, three-pin connector. This connector is typically used for charging at home or in commercial areas where charging time is not a constraint. The AC connector can provide a maximum charging power of 27.7 kW with three-phase current. A one-phase wire provides a maximum of 8 kW charging power.<\/p>\n

    The AC charger uses the GB\/T 20234.2 connector, which is compatible with Type 2 with an adapter.<\/p>\n

    \"GB\/T<\/a><\/p>\n

    DC fast charging<\/h4>\n

    Fast-charging connector, also known as the DC connector (GB\/T 20234.3), is a nine-pin connector that can provide a maximum charging power of 237.5 kW. The charging power is limited by the vehicle’s on-board charger, which is usually significantly less than the maximum capacity of the connector. This connector is commonly used in public charging stations and can charge an electric vehicle in less than an hour. The DC connector has a higher voltage and current rating than the AC connector, which enables it to deliver faster charging speeds.<\/p>\n

    The DC charger uses the GB\/T 20234.3 connector, which is compatible with Type 2 connectors with an adapter.<\/p>\n
