CCS2 Chargers in Australia
The standard DC fast-charging connector on most modern EVs in Australia
CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) is the dominant DC fast-charging standard in Australia, supported by the majority of EVs sold since 2020 including BYD, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Volvo. CCS2 combines an AC Type 2 inlet with two additional DC pins, allowing a single port to handle both everyday AC charging and rapid DC charging.
