The outlet of the charging station must match the plug on your car whether you want to charge your electric vehicle at home, at work, or at a public station. To be more precise, the cable that links your car to the charging station needs to have the proper plugs on both ends. That makes logical, no? There are four different plug types: two AC plugs that allow charging up to 43 kW and two DC plugs that allow fast charging up to 350 kW.
