How does a EVSE interface look like? Is there any standard that defines it?

the EVSE interface is defined in international standard IEC 61851-1 and the types of vehicle connectors are defined in IEC 62196-2.

The table and Figure 1 below show the two types of AC connectors that are predominantly used. They have different shapes and different number of phases: Type 1 is a single-phase and Type 2 is a three-phase connector.

Both types of connectors have two additional control signals: control pilot (CP) and proximity contact (PP). However, there is a difference in proximity function between the Type 1 and Type 2 connectors.
