Can connectors be shared between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles?

Q: Can connectors be shared between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles?

A: Most connectors are not interchangeable. Fuel vehicles focus on low voltage (12V) and low current (5~10A), such as DIN connectors (suitable for engine compartment power supply). New energy vehicles require high voltage and large current, such as XT60 series (30A continuous / 60A instantaneous), and must comply with the IEC 62196 high-voltage insulation standard (withstand voltage ≥2500V) to avoid leakage risks. Only a few signal connectors (e.g., M8) are universally applicable.
