Nearly all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles produced since 2015 utilise the Type 2 charging cable. The main difference in charging cables between cars lies in the charging power and number of phases.
We produce our own charging cables, making sure they are of the highest grade quality, with:
Voldt's plugs are produced from one whole. So there are no screws or glue holding pieces together. Premium materials finish it off giving the plug it's IP67 rating.
Flexible yet sturdy cable
What makes Voldt's cable better is that it is produced from a larger number of finer copper wires. This makes the cable smoother and more resistant to right-angle bends.
No energy loss
Our contacts are made of 100% silvered copper (no alloy). This ensures there is no energy loss and thus reduces heat.
Approved by major car brands
Our cables are approved by the standards of all major car brands
3 year warranty
At Voldt, we are confident about our quality. Every charging cable is tested before shipment and comes with a 3-year warranty.

What charging cables are available for electric cars?
To connect the electric car to a public charging station (charging mode 3), a type 2 charging cable is required. Type 2 in this case refers to the type of connector/connection on the side of the charging station. There are two types of connectors on the side of the vehicle. These are the IEC 621961 type 1 connector (also known as Yazaki), abbreviated to type 1, and the IEC 621962 type 2 connector (also known as Mennekes), abbreviated to type 2.
Electric car charging cable with type 1 plugs
The type 1 charging cable (J1772) is designed for charging electric vehicles with a maximum output of 3.7 kW. These cables utilise a voltage between 110V and 250V and support a single-phase current of 16A. There are also type 1 charging cables that can handle currents of up to 32A. These have a maximum charging capacity of 7.4 kW. Type 1 charging cables are particularly common in North America. In Europe, older models still use a type 1 plug, e.g. the Mitsubishi Outlander. The type 2 plug (Mennekes) is now standard here. To be able to charge older models, use a type 1 charging cable that you can connect to a type 2 charging station. At Voldt, we also have special adapters to connect your type 2 charging cable to your car with a type 1 plug.
