The development of electric vehicles in the world is very slow. One of the reasons is the sheer number of charging socket types. Cars must use one type of socket capable of accepting both low and high charging power. The charging station and the vehicle should automatically detect the charging power. Such a solution will simplify the use of charging stations and electric vehicles, which in turn will lead to economic growth and environmental improvements. For a left-hand drive vehicle, it is important to consider which side the charging station is on. Right hand drive charging station is on the right. Therefore the socket is located on the right side of the vehicle. For a person to be able to put large shopping bags from a beautiful large store in the trunk, they need a comfortable approach. Therefore, the socket in the DUBINA EVO is located on the front right side.

Of all the socket types in use, the IEC 62196—3 type 2 socket is more optimal. The socket has a round shape with a flat top edge. Connector diameter 70 mm, height 63 mm. This is a 7-pin connector consisting of 1 ground, 3 positive, 1 negative. ny, 2 signal.

The peculiarity of the connector is the ability to use a single-phase and three-phase network, with a maximum voltage of 480 V and a current of 300 A. The connector allows the use of charging stations with operating modes Mode 2, Mode 3. In January 2013, the European Commission chose the IEC 62196 type 2 connector as official charging connector to the European Union. Since then, it has been adopted as the recommended connector in several countries outside of Europe, including New Zealand.
