Yes, the Voldt® Type 2 to Type 1 adapter is specifically designed to allow Type 1 electric vehicles to charge at European Type 2 charging stations. Most public AC charging stations in Europe are equipped with a Type 2 socket (Mennekes), which is the standard across the EU. If you own a Type 1 EV — typically found in older Japanese or American models such as the Nissan Leaf (pre-2018) or Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV — this adapter is essential to ensure compatibility with European infrastructure.
The adapter features a female Type 2 (inlet) connector on one end and a male Type 1 (plug) connector on the other. It supports single-phase charging, which is compatible with the charging systems of Type 1 vehicles, and usually delivers up to 7.4 kW (32A at 230V). This makes it suitable for nearly all AC public and private charging stations across Europe, where power supplies typically range from 16A to 32A on a single phase. The adapter is CE and TÜV certified, water- and dust-resistant (IP54 when connected), and manufactured in Europe with premium materials for durability and safety.
Before using the adapter, ensure your vehicle’s onboard charger supports the same charging capacity as the adapter — most Type 1 EVs are limited to 3.7 kW or 7.4 kW. Also, note that the adapter is not compatible with DC fast chargers (like CCS or CHAdeMO). For everyday AC charging across Europe, however, the Voldt® Type 2 to Type 1 adapter offers a highly reliable and safe solution, making it easier to travel or relocate with a Type 1 vehicle in a predominantly Type 2 infrastructure.
