Collection: Type 2 - Mode 3 - 16A charging cable

Looking for a dependable solution to charge your electric vehicle? A Type 2 Mode 3 16A charging cable is the standard for single-phase charging across Europe and the UK. Built for safety, certified to CE, UKCA and TÜV, and manufactured in Europe, Voldt® cables combine performance with peace of mind.

What is a Type 2 Mode 3 16A charging cable?

A Type 2 Mode 3 16A cable is the most common connection for charging electric vehicles at home or at public charging stations. It uses the Type 2 (Menekes) connector, which is the European and UK standard, supports 16 ampere current in single-phase, and delivers up to 3.7 kW charging power. This makes it fully compatible with all EVs and plug-in hybrids equipped with a Type 2 inlet. It is a practical choice for drivers who mainly charge overnight or during longer stops.

Key features include: 

  • Connector: Type 2 (Menekes), standard in the UK and EU. 
  • Current: 16 ampere, single-phase.
  • Charging power: up to 3.7 kW.
  • Compatibility: all EVs and plug-in hybrids with a Type 2 inlet.

Benefits for EV drivers in the UK

Choosing the right cable makes daily charging easier. A Voldt® 16A Type 2 Mode 3 cable offers reliability and durability that UK drivers can depend on. Manufactured in Europe, every detail is designed for long-term use, from reinforced connectors to weather-resistant construction. The IP67 protection rating ensures safety in rain and harsh outdoor conditions, while certifications such as CE, UKCA and TÜV provide peace of mind.

The main benefits are: 

  • European craftsmanship: designed and produced in Europe for maximum reliability.
  • Weather-resistant design (IP67): safe to use outdoors, even in British rain. 
  • Certified safety: CE, UKCA and TÜV tested.
  • Durability: reinforced connectors, strain relief and robust sheathing.
  • Peace of mind: 3-year warranty and 100-day returns.

Comparison with other options

The 16A single-phase cable supports up to 3.7 kW and is ideal for overnight charging at home. Drivers with access to a 32A installation can benefit from faster charging up to 7.4 kW on single-phase, while three-phase 32A solutions can deliver up to 22 kW if the vehicle supports it. If your car only allows single-phase charging, the 16A version is often more than sufficient.

Comparison overview: 

16A (single-phase, 3.7 kW) → ideal for home charging overnight.

32A (single-phase, 7.4 kW) → faster home charging if your installation supports it. 

32A (three-phase, 22 kW) → for cars and stations that support 3-phase charging.
