Which plug your car has

The socket under the flap decides which public chargers your car can use and whether you need an adapter.

Translated from Serbian. Where the exact wording matters, the Serbian original applies.

  • Type 2 is the European standard for AC charging. At a public AC post you often bring your own cable
  • CCS2 is Type 2 with two extra DC pins. 138 of 140 fast DC chargers on the map have it
  • CHAdeMO is found on 30 of 140 DC chargers, and on only 2 of the 54 chargers of 100 kW and above
  • GB/T is fitted to cars bought directly from China. For European chargers they need an adapter costing almost 1.000 dollars

Four plugs

Plug Current Power Which cars
Type 2 AC up to 43 kW, in practice up to 22 kW cars sold in Europe
CCS2 AC and DC DC up to about 350 kW the standard for fast charging in the EU
CHAdeMO DC up to 200 kW (version 1.2) older Nissan Leaf, e-NV200, Mitsubishi i-MiEV
GB/T separate AC, separate DC — cars for the Chinese market

CCS2 has the ordinary Type 2 part on top and two thick DC pins below. That is why a car with a CCS2 socket also charges at an ordinary Type 2 post. The reverse does not apply to CHAdeMO: a car with CCS2 cannot charge from a CHAdeMO connector.

How connectors are shown and filtered on the map: connectors and filters.

Details: how CCS2 became the European standard
  • Type 2 became the EU standard in 2013, with full compliance required by 2025.
  • In 2013 the European Commission made CCS2 the mandatory connector for public fast DC chargers. A charger may have other connectors too, but CCS2 is a must.
  • Since 2019 Tesla has used CCS2 on European Model 3 and Model Y, and since 2022 on Model S and Model X as well.
  • Type 2 can technically carry up to 43 kW of alternating current. The car takes as much as its on-board charger allows: plug-in hybrid at a public charger.
  • CHAdeMO started at 62,5 kW. Version 1.2 from 2017 allows up to 200 kW.

What the networks in Serbia offer

Almost every fast charger in Serbia has CCS2. CHAdeMO is rarer and is found mostly on chargers up to 75 kW.

Network DC chargers on the map Of which with CHAdeMO
Charge&GO 79 8
Orion eMobility 29 10
Putevi Srbije (motorways) 15 7
eDrive 7 1
Lidl eCharge 2 2
Tesla Supercharger 2 0

Prices and locations by network: public charging.

Details: connectors by network
  • Charge&GO says in its FAQ that fast chargers usually have both CHAdeMO and CCS. On the network’s own list of locations dated 24.09.2026, 8 locations have CHAdeMO, among them OMV Ada Ciganlija, NIS Gazprom on the motorway (Novi Sad, Velika Plana, Stari Banovci), STOP SHOP Leskovac and DeLasol Lapovo.
  • Putevi Srbije: according to a 2019 study, each of the first five state chargers (Bubanj Potok, Subotica Jug, Adaševci, Dimitrovgrad, Preševo) has CHAdeMO, CCS2 and Type 2. Not all newer motorway chargers have CHAdeMO. Which ones work and charge nothing: free chargers.
  • Tesla: the Supercharger in Belgrade has 8 stalls up to 250 kW, the one in Aleksinac 4 stalls up to 125 kW. Both are for Tesla vehicles only.
  • The figures in the table show the map as of 15.10.2026. Chargers whose connectors are not known are not counted.

If you have CHAdeMO

Charge&GO advises you to always check whether a charger has CHAdeMO, because this connector is less common in Europe. The most powerful chargers almost always have CCS2 only.

Before a trip, turn on the CHAdeMO filter on the charger map and mark the chargers along the way. On the charger card, under “Connectors”, the power of each connector is shown.

Details: CCS2 to CHAdeMO adapter
  • There is an adapter that lets a CHAdeMO car charge at a CCS2 charger. One seller in the EU charges 994,80 euros for it.
  • The seller says they reached 75 kW with a Nissan Leaf e+ (62 kWh) and that the adapter can technically handle 200 kW. These are the seller’s figures.
  • Before buying, check that your model is on the list of supported vehicles.

A car from China with GB/T

Models ordered directly from China come with the Chinese GB/T connector. For European CCS2 chargers they need a special adapter, which costs almost 1.000 dollars.

There is not a single charger with a GB/T connector on the map of chargers in Serbia. Before buying an imported car, look at the socket under the flap.

Details: GB/T, adapter and homologation
  • GB/T has two separate standards: one for AC charging and one for fast DC charging. It is used in China.
  • The GB/T AC plug looks like Type 2, but the genders are reversed: the plug on the cable is male and the socket in the car is female. The signalling is different too.
  • The adapter is not the only cost: Telegraf gives 1.500 to 4.000 dollars for homologation, depending on the country of registration.
  • Import, customs and registration: import and customs.
