Can every car use every charging station?


Not every car can be charged at every charging station. It depends on several factors, including the type of charging station and the type of car.

There are different types of charging stations, such as AC charging stations (alternating current) and DC charging stations (direct current), and different connections for charging, such as Type 1, Type 2, CCS (Combined Charging System), CHAdeMO, and so on. The type of charging station a car can use depends on the connection the car has.

Cars also have different charging options. Some can only be charged on AC charging stations, while others can use both AC and DC charging stations.

In general, electric cars are designed to be charged at charging stations that are compatible with their charging capabilities. Before purchasing an electric car, it is therefore important to check which types of charging stations and connections the car supports, so that you can determine which charging stations are suitable for your car.
