GB/T Connector (China Standard)
GB/T is the Chinese national standard for EV charging, with separate plugs for AC and DC charging.
What is GB/T Connector (China Standard)?
It is used on cars built for the Chinese market. Cars exported to Europe usually come with Type 2 and CCS2 instead. A newer Chinese standard, ChaoJi, is being developed. Chinese brands selling in Europe fit European Type 2 and CCS2 ports at the factory.
How it works
Separate AC and DC sockets connect to chargers built to the Chinese standard.
Why it matters for your car
Grey-imported Chinese-market cars may need conversion to charge in Europe. Check the charging ports before buying a car imported from China.
