EV connector types in India

Common public connectors

**CCS2 (IEC 62196 Type 2 Combo)** is the dominant DC fast-charging plug for passenger cars in India. **Type 2** sockets cover AC charging at malls, workplaces and slow/public AC points.

**3-pin domestic (DOMESTIC_D)** is a real published type for 5A/15A socket charging — common at residential-style public points. LiveChargeMap lists it explicitly; always check cable and earthing on site.

**GB/T DC** appears on feeds aimed at commercial vehicles and mini-trucks. Treat it as a distinct connector family from CCS2.

Bharat standards

**Bharat AC-001** and **Bharat DC-001** remain on some legacy hardware. Operators may publish them under IS or domestic OCPI codes — we show the label the operator sends.

How to choose

Match your vehicle inlet to the connector row on each station page. When status is fresh, “available” means the operator’s OCPI feed reported that EVSE as available recently — not a reservation.
