And that takes some getting used to, especially the switch from refuelling to charging. Good information provision is important to help everyone get started quickly in this new world of electric driving. To make it easier for EV drivers, new labels have been introduced that allow you to immediately see which charge point is suitable for your car.<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The new labels were officially put into use in the European Union in March 2021, including the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the first time that an international <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acea.auto\/press-release\/electric-vehicles-helping-consumers-identify-the-right-recharging-option-with-standardised-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">harmonized standard<\/a> has been drawn up to help identify the available charging systems. The goal is to help EV drivers find and choose the right charge point to recharge their electric car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Where are the labels placed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The labels are not only placed on the charge plug or on the charge station. Also at the charging port of the car. Despite the fact that these labels were officially introduced just recently, many manufacturers of electric cars started applying these labels earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The label looks like a white or black hexagon with a letter. To find out <a href=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/newmotion-accelerates-european-charging-network-doubled-in-two-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which charge point<\/a> is suitable for your electric car, you only have to check whether the label corresponds to the label at the charging connection of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-2021-800x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6237\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-2021.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/?attachment_id=6237\" class=\"wp-image-6237\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What do the labels look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mgmotor.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Each MG<\/a> is equipped with a charging socket that fits a type-2 plug, also known as a Mennekes plug. This plug was designated by the European Commission in 2014 as the standard for charging electric cars with alternating current (AC). The type-2 plug can be recognized by the black label with the <strong>letter C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mgmotor.eu\/model\/ehs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MG EHS Plug-in Hybrid<\/a>, you can also charge the electric car at a fast-charging station with direct current (DC). For this, you use the type-3 charging cable that is attached to the charging station. The type-3 plug \u2013 also known as a CCS plug \u2013 is the European standard for fast-charging with direct current since 2017. The type-3\/CCS plug can be recognized by the label with the <strong>letter K<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-AC-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6280\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-AC-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/?attachment_id=6280\" class=\"wp-image-6280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.mgmotor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-AC-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/news.mgmotor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-AC-1-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-5 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-DC-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6291\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-DC-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/?attachment_id=6291\" class=\"wp-image-6291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.mgmotor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-DC-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/news.mgmotor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EV-charging-labels-DC-2-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to use the CCS plug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCS (Combined Charging System) plug is basically <a href=\"https:\/\/development.news.larva.cloud\/\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-charging-an-electric-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a type-2 plug<\/a> with two additional contacts.
