Apartment EV Charging FAQ's - Are there many different types of plugs?

For the purpose of this FAQ document relating to apartment building charging infrastructure the Type 2 or ‘Mennekes’ plug is the standard plug type in Australia for electric vehicles from 2018 onwards. Type 2 plugs have 7 pins and are compatible with charging from AC chargers. If an EV has a Type 2 plug but needs to charge using a Type 1 charging station (or vice versa) then a Type 2 to Type 1 adaptor can be used however this is only applicable to some vehicles manufactured prior to 2018.
