An outline of a plug's pin pattern, identifying a charging connector type.
Also known as: Charge point connector mark, Type 2 symbol, CCS symbol
Charging points are marked with an outline of the connector's own pin pattern rather than with a brand name: a seven-pin round outline for the common alternating-current connector, the same outline with two large pins beneath it for the fast direct-current form, and a distinct pattern for the Japanese standard. The mark is a picture of the physical plug, which is what lets a driver match a cable to a socket across networks and countries without knowing either.
