IEC 61851 is an international standard for electric vehicle conductive charging systems, parts of which are currently still under development (written 2017). IEC 61851 is one of the International Electrotechnical Commission 's group of standards for electric road vehicles and electric industrial trucks and is the responsibility of IEC Technical ...
The plugs have openings on the sides that allow both the car and the charger to lock the plug automatically to prevent unwanted interruption of charging, or theft of the cable. As modified by Tesla for its European Supercharger network (up to Version 2), it is capable of outputting 150 kW using direct current (DC) via two pins each, with a ...
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a charging connector under development for large battery electric vehicles. The connector will be rated for charging at a maximum rate of 3.75 megawatts (3,000 amps at 1,250 volts direct current (DC)).
The car will only charge at around 1 or 2 kW, which is five times slower than a home wallbox-style charger, and more than 100 times slower than what many electric cars are capable of.
The North American Charging System (NACS), standardized as SAE J3400, is an electric vehicle (EV) charging connector standard maintained by SAE International. [1] Developed by Tesla, Inc., it has been used by all North American market Tesla vehicles since 2021 and was opened for use by other manufacturers in November 2022. It is backwards ...

In Europe, 12 volt plugs and sockets are not specially regulated and do not require approvals for the CE mark. [citation needed] The male plug is sometimes used to feed power into a vehicle to recharge its battery because it usually has no regulatory circuitry between the outlet and the car battery. For instance, portable solar battery ...
This performs functions such as a safety interlock to avoid energizing the connector before it is safe (similar to SAE J1772), transmitting battery parameters to the charging station including when to stop charging (top battery percentage, usually 80%), target voltage, total battery capacity, and how the station should vary its output current ...
