Are they standard 120 volt 3 prong?
Or do you use 220, if so which series of plug?

This is a regular 110v inlet. I just plug in a regular extension cord. The pins on this 110 v inlet need to be male, since the male ends of a common extension plug into your house, leaving a female end of an extension cord to plug into the car. I put one of these on every one of my conversions, since 110v plugs are in every home and building in the USA. 110v charging is the slowest way to charge an EV, but 110 is everywhere.
This is how I do most of my charging. 50 amp plug, and once again it has male pins so you can just plug in a 50 amp extension cord. I have a 50 amp outlet at my shop for my welder, and I have a fat extension cord for it, so charging is very fast at work.
