What is CCS2?

The plug, the current, the car

CCS2 is the DC fast connector on most electric cars sold outside North America. It keeps the Type 2 shape for the AC pins and adds two DC pins underneath, so a CCS2 socket can also accept a Type 2 plug.

A CCS2 site is the one that makes a long drive practical: 50 kW is the floor, 150 kW is common on newer highway sites, and the fastest chargers in the directory reach 350 kW. A 20-minute stop at a 150 kW charger adds far more range than an hour on AC.

The car is the other half of the equation — a 350 kW charger only delivers what the vehicle asks for. The station record carries the site's peak power, and the directory's power filter narrows the list to the bands that matter for your car.

What the label means

CCS2 is DC fast charging. A car with a CHAdeMO inlet needs a different plug, and adapters between the two are uncommon.

Where CCS2 stations are

The states and territories with the most stations listing CCS2. Each link opens that state's page; the directory keeps the connector filter for a narrower view.

Cities with the most

The cities where these stations cluster. A link opens the city's own guide where one exists, otherwise the directory around that city.

Counts are stations that list CCS2, not plugs. One station can carry several connector types, so a station can appear here and in another connector's count. Prices are the networks' own per-kWh tariffs and can change by time of day. Counts from the directory data of October 2026.

CCS2 questions

Fit, power and price

How many CCS2 charging stations are there?

EVDIR lists 377 public stations with CCS2 across 8 states and territories and 328 cities, with 791 charging stalls. 268 of them are DC fast (50 kW or more), and 163 reach 150 kW or more.

What is a CCS2 connector?

CCS2 is the DC fast connector on most electric cars sold outside North America. It keeps the Type 2 shape for the AC pins and adds two DC pins underneath, so a CCS2 socket can also accept a Type 2 plug. CCS2 is DC fast charging. A car with a CHAdeMO inlet needs a different plug, and adapters between the two are uncommon.

Which cars use CCS2?

Most DC-capable EVs sold outside North America. Fast charging on a longer trip. The connector a car accepts is fixed by its inlet; an adapter may be needed for a different standard, and support varies by vehicle and station.

How much does CCS2 charging cost?

Of the 345 stations that quote a per-kWh price, the median is A$0.70 and 60 charge A$0.50 or less. Networks set their own tariffs, and some add a session or idle fee.

Are CCS2 stations always fast chargers?

No label guarantees a rate. Typically 50–350 kW; the station and the vehicle negotiate the actual charge. Check the station's peak power in the directory before relying on it for a quick stop.
