What is the difference between the male and female sides of an EV charging cable plug?

The difference between the male and female sides of an EV charging cable plug lies in their destination. The male plug (IEC 62196-2) is the plug that goes into a charging station. The female plug (IEC 62196-2) is the plug that goes into your car. This ensures a proper usage of the cable. It also makes it impossible to use some sort of extension cable.
