A charger inlet, also known as a vehicle charging inlet or vehicle connector inlet, is the component mounted on an electric vehicle that serves as the receiving port for the charging gun from an external charging station. It is the vehicle-side counterpart to the charging station's connector and is the primary interface for transferring electrical energy from the grid to the vehicle's high-voltage battery. The charger inlet is a sophisticated electromechanical device designed to accommodate specific connector standards, such as Type 1, Type 2, CCS Combo 1, CCS Combo 2, or GB/T, depending on the vehicle's target market and charging capabilities. It houses the power pins for AC and/or DC charging, along with pins for control pilot, proximity pilot, and critical safety circuits like the high voltage interlock (HVIL).
