KIA:

For rapid charging, the CHAdeMO and and Type 2 CCS are the most commonly used connectors. These two connectors are not interchangeable however (a CHAdeMO port cannot charge using a CCS plug, and vice versa). So before driving to a charging station you’ll need to know if your car is compatible with the connectors available. Some chargers may just have a CHAdeMO connector, some just a 2 CCS connector, and some both. All DC charging stations have a tethered charging cable, so you don’t need to bring your own.
