Azzy, most new EVs use DC CCS now in the UK, DC CHAdeMO will be supported for a good few years yet but new rapid chargers may not support it. CCS has won the battle in Europe. The new Zoe 50 can be ordered with CCS, if you order it you really should go for the CCS so you can charge DC and AC. The standard for AC charge posts is now type 2 in Europe, you can use a type 2 to type 1 cable or type 2 to type 2 cable of course, AC is already standardised.
For rapid DC chargers there are two connection types around, CHAdeMO which is the Japanese brands standard (Nissan, Lexus) and it’s been around the longest, and then there is CCS which is everyone else these days, even Tesla have put them on the Model 3 and older Teslas can be changed to CCS. All european car manufacturers use CCS (Jaguar, VW group, BMW, PSA, etc), it’s now the standard on new chargers, you won’t find CHAdeMO on a new Ionity charger for instance. Be careful though, the delightful Ecotricity electric superhighway doesn’t always have CCS connectors so it’s possible to pull into a motorway services & find you can only use a 7kW type 2 socket (carry your cable) but remember, these ancient chargers were sponsored with money from Nissan.
For fast AC chargers in the UK, that’s the 3.5, 5, 7kW ones, plus the 22kW AC chargers that the Zoe can use, there is the outgoing type 1 and the newer & now standard type 2. You can get a type 2 to type 1 cable easily enough for cars such as the Mitsubishi Outlander. I use a type 2 to type 2 for my Pug.

Then there are a few other different possibilities for 7kW & below, a 32A commando socket is favoured by some (myself included) for our OHME chargers as we can take the intelligent charger with us when we visit family & have 32A commando sockets fitted at our relatives houses much more cheaply than the type 2 chargers. Easy to pop in a cheap 32A commando to 2 gang 13A sockets for when you want to use the lawnmower/strimmer/and any other domestic power tool. (a 32A commando socket will need a new completely seperate circuit off your fuse board, & an RCD, and possibly a seperate earth driven into the ground, and we’re talking armoured cables outside here, it’s a job for an electrician not a DIYer).
13A socket can be used with the “granny chargers”, giving 8A continuous, or maybe 13A continuous if you want to make sure your home electrics are good & you’ll be wanting 2.5mm cable with that as the thin stuff provided from the factory & on domestic extension leads isn’t adequate. I have a 13A granny cable with 15 metres of 2.5mm cable, it’s not used often, it’s a backup cable, and could be used if visiting somehwere that you know only has 13A domestic sockets. I run it at 8A or 10A, not 13A, I don’t like toasted cables inside walls.
16A commando sockets, you’ll find these at caravan sites, also a good idea for outside electrics at home, again it’s an industry standard socket & you can run a granny charger off it reliably & safely.
Type F sockets (SHUKO), you’ll find these when you drive around europe, 16A, for a granny charger, you can get UK 13A square pin plug to Type F adapters, remember the 13A plug has a 13A fuse though so don’t run such a contraption at the full 16A as things go bang or melt.
“Other” plugs & sockets, well, you can get a letterbox connector to put inline along a cable that allows you to run it through a letterbox, very useful maybe, 16A rated & you’ll be running it on a granny charger at maybe 8A.
