  • Power delivery and communication mostly

    EV chargers deliver massive amounts of power, far more than what’s delivered by a 120 or 220 socket. You can charge EVs with those but it’s usually used to charge overnight because it takes hours instead of the minutes needed for a proper fast charger

    You also need to have the car handshake with the charger to know how much power to draw and when to stop, because not every EV on the same charging standard accepts the same power draw, so in addition to the h u g e power phase and ground pins in the connectors you’ve also got a pin dedicated to talking to the charger to allow it to function properly
