Different types of Charging systems
Type 1 connector
This offers lower power
ratings and approx.
range per hour of
charge. Has no locking
mechanism
Type 2 connector
High power ratings for
an AC connector,
offereing maximum
potential range per hour
of charge.

Rapid Charging Direct current (DC)
CHAdeMO
Average power rating
for a DC power
connector. Maximum
range potential per
hour of charge.
CCS
Offers similar
capabilities to the
Type 2 CHAdeMO connector.
The most efficient Offers a more
connector for DC universal output, used
charging. Top tier as standard on
output. Only available vehicles.
for Tesla models

External factors
Power supply
Still pulling power from a grid
network of some kind.
No pollution
The most effective way is to pull
power from a renewable energy
source, for e.g. Solar farm, Wind
farm etc.
02
Wall mounts and
pedestal variants
83% offered. Average
electricity of R7.4/hour-
R44/hour.
03
High power capabilities
and fast charge. Average
electricity of R100/hour-
R300/hour.
Level 1 Level2 DC fast charging
Conclusion
Type 2 AC connector
offers effective power
Connector and approx. distance per
charge
A renewable source is
External
expensive, but offers
Factors future value for money
Thank you for attending. Have a lovely day.
