Northwestern

Of its 4 ports, 2 are DC fast and 2 are Level 2. DC fast ports deliver direct current straight to the battery and are the ones used for quick stops on longer trips.

The registry lists 3 connector types: CHAdeMO, Legacy DC fast connector (Nissan Leaf era); J1772, the standard Level 1/2 AC connector; CCS, Combined Charging System — the J1772-based DC fast connector.
