CCS1 and CCS2 are both Combined Charging System (CCS) standards for electric vehicle charging, but they have some key differences:
1. Geographical usage:
- CCS1 is primarily used in North America
- CCS2 is more common in Europe and other parts of the world
2. Connector design:
- CCS1 uses a Type 1 (J1772) AC connector with additional DC pins
- CCS2 uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) AC connector with additional DC pins
3. Pin configuration:
- CCS1 has a 7-pin configuration
- CCS2 has a 9-pin configuration
4. Charging capabilities:
- Both support DC fast charging
- CCS2 generally allows for higher power output, potentially enabling faster charging speeds
5. Vehicle compatibility:
- Vehicles designed for CCS1 cannot use CCS2 chargers and vice versa, without an adapter

Despite these differences, both CCS1 and CCS2 serve the same purpose: to provide fast DC charging for electric vehicles, significantly reducing charging times compared to AC charging methods.
