Charging guide

EV connector types: CCS2, GB/T and which one fits your car

Jordan has cars from China, Europe, Korea, Japan and the United States, and each market uses a different charging port. Knowing your car's port before you arrive saves you a wasted trip.

CCS2 (Combo 2)

The European fast-charging standard, also used on cars built to Korean, Gulf and European specifications. It is one port in two parts: the upper part for slow AC charging, and the lower part, with two large pins, for DC fast charging. You will usually find it on Hyundai and Kia cars built to Korean or European specifications, European Volkswagens, and many Chinese cars made for export.

GB/T

China's national standard. The fast-charging port is separate from the slow-charging port and is the larger of the two. Since most electric cars coming into Jordan are made in China, and many are imported to Chinese-market specifications, GB/T is very common here. You even find it on non-Chinese brands built for the Chinese market, such as some Volkswagen ID and Tesla versions.

CHAdeMO

The older Japanese standard. The best-known car that uses it in Jordan is the Nissan Leaf, along with some Mitsubishi plug-in hybrids. It has become less common on new cars.

Tesla port (NACS)

Cars built for the North American market, including Teslas imported from there, come with the small Tesla port. These cars need a compatible adapter to charge on other chargers, and not every adapter works with every charger. Teslas built for Europe and the Middle East come with CCS2, and those built for the Chinese market with GB/T. Details are on the Tesla charging page.

How do you find out your car's port?

  1. Open the charging port cover and look: one port in two parts usually means CCS2, and two separate ports usually mean GB/T.
  2. Check the car's manual or the specification sheet from the dealer or importer.
  3. Ask where the car was imported from. A car imported from China to Chinese-market specifications usually has a GB/T port, even if the brand is European or American.
  4. If you are not sure, take a photo of the port and send it to us, or call +962 79 738 3966.

Should I use an adapter?

We advise against using uncertified adapters for fast charging. Fast-charging current is high, and a poor adapter can overheat, cut the charge or damage the port. If your car needs an adapter, buy a certified one from a trusted source and ask about compatibility before you use it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between CCS2 and GB/T?

Both are DC fast-charging standards. CCS2 is European and combines slow and fast charging in one two-part port, while GB/T is Chinese and keeps the fast-charging port separate from the slow one. Neither fits the other without an adapter.

Does FAST RANGE charge GB/T cars?

Do you charge the Nissan Leaf?

The Nissan Leaf uses a CHAdeMO connector. Connectors available here: Awaiting confirmation: connector types available.

My Tesla is a US model. Can I charge?

US Teslas have the Tesla port (NACS) and need an adapter that is compatible with the charger. Call us before you come so we can check compatibility.
