Charging mode 2: Single-head charging gun + cable + control box + plug connected to single-phase mains

Charging mode 3: single-headed charging gun + cable + control box + plug to single-phase utility

Charging mode 4: the combination of charging gun + cable + charging post connected to direct current (DC)

The difference is: charging mode 2 and charging mode 1 are more controllers, charging mode 2 compared to charging mode 1 complete protection measures, can be with overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, leakage power failure protection, charging mode 1 is no protection measures. Charging mode three phase for the first two modes, mode three increases the charging current thus increasing the speed of charging, the need for charging safety will also be higher. Charging mode four is a DC charging gun.

Of course, it is well known that there are three types of electric vehicle connections.

1: Charging cable connected to the electric vehicle end and pluggable to the grid connection end.

2: Charging cable connected to the grid connection end and pluggable with the EV end.

3: The charging cable is pluggable with both the EV end and the grid connection end
