Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable

Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable

This is the standard charging cable for the European market, designed to connect your electric vehicle directly to Type 2 charging stations. It supports flexible and efficient charging at 16A or 32A (230-400V) over both single and three-phase power, enabling faster charging times where supported.

Built with durability in mind, the cable features heat-resistant and eco-friendly materials, ensuring longevity and reliability in all conditions. It is fully certified to meet the latest EU safety standards (CE, RoHS, REACH, UKCA).

  • Connectors: Type 2 (Male) to Type 2 (Female)

  • Standard: IEC 62196-2 (Mennekes)

  • Compatibility: All Type 2 EV Inlets and Stations

  • Rating: 16A / 32A, Single or Three-Phase

What is the Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable?

A Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable is the standard and most common cable for charging electric vehicles in Europe. It features identical Type 2 (also known as Mennekes) connectors on both ends and is designed for “Mode 3” charging, which covers AC charging from dedicated stations.

This cable is universally compatible with the vast majority of modern EVs sold in Europe, and the continent’s extensive network of public, workplace, and home charging points. Its key advantage is versatility: it supports both single-phase and three-phase power, allowing it to deliver a wide range of charging speeds to match the capabilities of your vehicle and the charging station.

How Does it Work?

The process is simple:

  1. Connect to the Station: Plug the male Type 2 connector into the public or home charging station.

  2. Connect to Your Car: Attach the female Type 2 connector to your vehicle’s inlet.

Once connected, this Mode 3 charging cable facilitates a secure “handshake” between the charger and your EV. This intelligent communication allows the system to utilize the cable’s full capabilities—supporting both single and three-phase power at up to 32A (230-400V). It ensures the station delivers the correct amount of power safely and automatically stops charging once your battery is full or if any issues are detected.
