Advice on choosing the right one Charging cable:

  • Type Charging cable

    Do you have a Type 1 or a Type 2 Charging cable needed? Type 1 (Yazaki) is mainly used in North America and Japan, while Type 2, also known as Mennekes, is the standard in Europe. The main difference between the two is the plug shape: Type 1 has 5 pins, while Type 2 has 7. Type 1 cables typically support only one phase, resulting in a slower charging rate compared to Type 2 cables, which can use multiple phases for a faster charging experience.

  • Phase & Power

    Choose between a 1-phase and a 3-phase Charging cable, depending on your car's support. A 3-phase cable charges faster than a 1-phase one Charging cable, but only if your car also supports 3-phase charging. Type 1 charging cables often have a maximum charging capacity of up to 7.4 kW and are limited to single-phase connections. On the other hand, Type 2 charging cables can handle a maximum charging capacity of up to 22 kW, and they benefit from three-phase connections. It is important to know which type of cable and power rating is appropriate for your particular electric vehicle.

  • Length & Shape

    Choose a Charging cable with the right length for easy charging, especially if charging points are farther away. Straight cables are convenient for direct connections, while spiral cables offer flexibility without excess length on the ground. Choose the shape that best suits your charging situation and preferences.
