CCS1 (Type 1) is the standard used in North America (AC Single-phase up to 80A), and Type 2 is the EU standard "Mennekes" which is up to 63A AC 3-phase (can also do single phase). The "Combo" part is the 2 large pins on the bottom that is DC, and that's the same globally, presently allowing up to 500A.
