IEC62196-2 Male EV Charging Plug

IEC62196-2 Male EV Charging Plug

Type 2 connector/inlet and plug/socket pairs are used in Europe.Type 2 supports both single phase and 3-phase charging at higher power rates than Type 1.

For Type 2 charging stations,the charging cable is detachable,so a Type 2 station can charge both,Type 1 cars and Type 2 cars with the correct charging cables.A Type 1 charging station on the other hａnd can only charge Type 1 cars,as the cable is fixed to the station and the usage of adapters is prohibited.

The EV changing connectors are suitable for Tesla Model S,Smart,Renault Zoe,BMW i3 i8,Audi e-Tron,VW e-UP,VW e-Golf,etc...

FAQ:

I'm connected to a 32amp power source,but it's still charging very slowly.

Check the specification of the charging cable,if it's only 16amp then this is the max power it can take,even if you connect it to higher power source.Sounds like you need to upgrade to a 32amp cable.

How quickly will that charge my vehicle?

Usually between 6 - 8 hours.This is often referred to as‘trickle charge'.A domestic three pin(UK),2 pin(EU) will only ever provide 3.7kw of power(10amps).Even if you have a vehicle that will take a much higher rate of charge,it will only ever draw this amount of power,as that's all that is being offered to the vehicle.

What charging cables will I get with my new car?

This will depend on the vehicle manufacturer.As standard most vehicles come with a portable domestic charger that you plug into a standard domestic plug socket.If however you've arranged through your car dealer to have a specialist charge point installed at home,then they're likely to only provide a plug to plug cable to connect to your new charge point.

Is it worth buying a spare cable?

It's up to you… we have lots of customers that have purchased additional cables,keeping one at work and home,or one at home and one in the boot for charging whilst out and about.
