Charging cable 3 phase | 16A | 11 kW for integration wallbox/charging station

The power consumption of charging an electric car depends on the capacity of the battery and the efficiency of the charging process. On average, fully charging an electric car with a battery capacity of 60 kWh consumes about 60 kWh of electricity. This means that at a standard household tariff of €0.22 per kWh, the cost of a full charge would be about €13.20. Actual consumption may vary depending on factors such as the state of the battery, charging infrastructure and energy loss during charging. For precise calculations, it is useful to know the specific battery capacity of your vehicle and the local electricity price.

Yes, you can use a three-phase EV charging cable in a single-phase charging box, but the charging capacity will be limited to the capabilities of the single-phase connection. This means the car will only charge on one phase, resulting in lower charging power and longer charging time compared to three-phase charging. However, the charging cable and the car must be compatible with both single-phase and three-phase connections to make this possible. Always ensure that the charging equipment and connections are safe and correct to ensure a reliable and efficient charging experience.

It is not possible to extend an EV charging cable because extension cables simply do not exist for it. The contact poles of EV charging cables are designed with specific safety mechanisms and specifications that make extension physically impossible. This design ensures that charging cables are always connected directly to the charging pole and the vehicle, guaranteeing safe and reliable power transfer. Any attempts to create extensions themselves would compromise the integrity of the charging system and could lead to serious safety risks such as overheating, electrical faults, and fire hazards. As a result, the use of extension cables is completely avoided in EV charging technology.

Extending an EV charging cable is not allowed for several safety reasons. Firstly, an extension cable increases the risk of overheating because it may not be able to carry the same amperage and quality as the original cable, which can lead to a fire hazard. In addition, an extension cable introduces additional electrical resistance, which reduces the efficiency of the charging process and may cause damage to the vehicle battery. Extension cables can also provide an unreliable connection, which can result in unpredictable voltage variations and failures in the charging infrastructure. For these reasons, EV charging cables are specifically designed without the possibility of extension, ensuring the safety and reliability of the charging process.
