Which charging plugs and charging cables are there?
Type 1 charging plug or Type 2 plug, also Mennekes plug, Type 3 plug, Type 2 Mod 3 charging cable, Combo 2 plug or CCS plug or Chademo plug, Supercharger and CEE plug, CEE socket: There are a few different types of charging plugs. For the consumer, it is particularly important how quickly electric vehicles can be charged and how long their range is.
Many public charging stations for e-cars in Germany offer an alternating current (AC) connection or a combination of alternating current and direct current (DC) connection for the charging current. However, most electric cars can usually only absorb 11 kW of charging power and require a longer period of time to charge. The installation of plugs in one is suitable for this Wallbox at home, of course, where the e-car can be charged overnight. Increasingly, however, e-cars are being offered with a fast charging option using direct current.
The Charging time depends on the connector type Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 etc. At fast charging stations, make sure that you have the appropriate cable at hand at the AC charging station. There are currently various charging connections for electric cars in Europe, which vary in the type of charging power and frequency. There is still no uniform international standard for plugs and cables for e-cars.

Infrastructure solutions for automated loading with Rinderknecht
05.03.2019 | The is presented Microsnap, the latest electromobility vehicle study by Swiss e-car visionary Frank M. Rinderknecht. Harting shows elements of the infrastructure for automated charging. The technology group is thus consistently expanding the e-mobility infrastructure.
The fast charging technology with the DC charging plug (Combo) is a prerequisite for future vehicles to be supplied with sufficient power not in hours but in a few minutes.
Automatic charging solutions will also become more important, since larger charging infrastructure systems are more difficult to handle and there is hardly any space required for charging in multi-storey car parks, fleet parking lots or garages.
Especially for e-vehicles of regional transport and logistics companies, DC charging with a short charging time will become indispensable in order to meet the future required times for delivery and fleet availability.
Because online trade is booming and now also includes the fresh food sector, Frank M. Rinderknecht believes in small autonomous vehicleswho bring their goods to the customer 'just in time' without any detours.
These vehicles must therefore be recharged within a very short time. "For example, a loading situation that takes place while the e-transporter is being loaded with packages and other material is ideal here," says Frank M. Rinderknecht.
Harting knows which elements such an automatic loading solution requires: A robotic-supported guide brings the DC Combo 2 connector optimally positioned to the charging socket of the vehicle. After loading, the robot pulls the Connectors together with the charging cable and the vehicle is ready for use again after a short time. The provision of the powerful DC supply is optimally adapted to the charging assistant.
