Type 3 charging cables were mainly used in France and parts of Southern Europe before Type 2 became the European standard. While Type 3 is rarely installed today, many charging stations and vehicles still require these connectors. For UK EV drivers travelling abroad, especially in France or Italy, a Type 3 cable ensures compatibility and flexibility. Voldt® provides high-quality Type 3 charging solutions, manufactured in Europe, CE-certified, and backed by a 3-year warranty.

What is a Type 3 charging cable?

A Type 3 charging cable is designed to connect an electric vehicle to public or private charging stations equipped with a Type 3 socket. Unlike Type 2, which is now the European standard, Type 3 includes shutters for added safety, making it compliant with older French regulations.

Key specifications:

  • Standard: Type 3, compatible with older charging points. 
  • Safety: Integrated shutters, CE-certified.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for EVs with Type 3 requirements or when travelling abroad. 
  • Durability: Robust, weather-resistant construction.
  • Production: Made in Europe with strict quality control.

Benefits for UK EV drivers

For most UK drivers, Type 2 is sufficient. However, if you frequently travel to countries like France or Italy, having a Type 3 charging cable ensures you are never left without charging access.

Main benefits:

  • Compatibility abroad – access to older French and Italian charging points. 
  • Safe and certified – CE-approved with integrated protection.
  • Portable and reliable – lightweight and easy to carry. 
  • 3-year warranty & 100-day return policy.

Comparison with Type 2 and other standards

  • Type 2 (Mennekes)→ current EU standard, widely available across Europe.
  • Type 3→ legacy standard, mostly in France and Southern Europe.
  • CCS & CHAdeMO→ fast charging standards, not interchangeable with Type 3.

While Type 3 is less common today, it remains essential for EV drivers who want to ensure compatibility when travelling.
