Abstract
A charging inlet, to which a charging connector provided external to a vehicle is connected, includes a housing and a terminal unit provided in the housing. The terminal unit includes a first DC pin, a second DC pin, a first communication pin, a second communication pin, and a ground pin. The housing includes a blocking member. When an AC/DC charging connector complying with CCS and supporting AC charging and DC charging is to be connected to the charging inlet, blocking members interfere with at least one of a first AC terminal, a second AC terminal, a third AC terminal, and a neutral point terminal that are provided in the AC/DC charging connector, to block connection between the AC/DC charging connector and the charging inlet.
