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.
