For fast charging of electric vehicles, a DC (direct current) type charging cable is generally used.

These cables are designed to handle higher charging capacities and work more efficiently during fast-charging sessions.

The most common charging cable for fast charging is the CCS (Combined Charging System) cable. CCS is a standard that supports both AC and DC charging and is used by many electric vehicles and fast-charging stations. CCS cables can handle high charging capacities, ranging from 50 kW to 350 kW, depending on the charging station and the capabilities of the vehicle.

In addition, there is the CHAdeMO cable, which is mainly used by certain electric vehicles, particularly those from Japanese manufacturers such as Nissan and Mitsubishi. CHAdeMO cables also support higher charging capacities, usually up to 50 kW or 100 kW, depending on the charging station and the specifications of the vehicle.

It is important to know which type of fast-charging standard your electric vehicle supports before purchasing a charging cable. Not all electric vehicles support both CCS and CHAdeMO. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which fast-charging standard is compatible with your vehicle.

It is also advisable to check which type of fast-charging stations are available in your area and which fast-charging standard these stations use. Based on that, you can select the right charging cable suitable for fast charging with your specific vehicle and the available fast-charging infrastructure.
