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.

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.
