CEE 5-pole 16A

  • Type 2 - 16A red commando socket| 3 phase | Adjustable 8A - 16A | 11kW charging cable

    Charging cable with 5-pin CEE plug

    With our European-made mobile charging cable, you can charge in any 16A CEE 5-pole socket.

    What sets this charger apart from other charging cables is that the charger we developed is adjustable from 8A to 16A, resulting in it being able to charge your electric car or PHEV up to 11 kW per hour. So this is just as fast as regular wallboxes/charging stations can. This makes this mobile charger a complete alternative to a wallbox/charging station with the advantages that there are zero to little installation costs, and that this charger can also be used in other places.

    The mobile charger is IP67 waterproof and complies with all European safety requirements and certifications. In case of overheating, the mobile charger stops automatically, in addition it features over- and undervoltage protection and leak detection.

  • European charging cables

    The plugs we have developed are produced in one piece and not glued or screwed together. This makes them stronger, more wear-resistant and more waterproof than other plugs on the market.

    The contact pins in the plug are made of 100% copper and then silver-plated to prevent rust and corrosion. The mobile charger is equipped with a clear display that shows, among other things, current strength in Amps, shows the amount of kW charged and displays the status of the car battery.

    Delayed charging

    Our charger has a delayed charging function and can be set to start charging in a few hours. Power on the charger and connect the vehicle, and then press the adjustment button for 3 seconds to enter the delayed charging mode. Each time you press for 3 seconds, the delay time will increase by one hour, with a max delay of 10 hours. After setting the time, the countdown starts, and charging starts after the countdown ends.

  • Can a mobile EV charging cable to CEE power or normal socket delay charging?

    Yes, a mobile EV charging cable can provide delayed charging via a CEE power or normal socket. Our charger has a delayed charging function that you can easily set to start charging after a certain amount of time. Turn on the charger, plug in the vehicle and then press and hold the setting button for 3 seconds to activate the delayed charging mode. Each time you press and hold the button for 3 seconds, the delay time is extended by one hour, up to a maximum delay of 10 hours. After you set the desired delay time, the countdown begins and charging starts automatically once the set time has elapsed.

  • Do CEE 16A and CEE 32A commando sockets differ from each other?

    Yes, CEE 16A and CEE 32A sockets differ significantly in power capacity, physical dimensions, applications, and cabling. The most important distinction is the maximum current each can handle: a CEE 16A socket supports up to 16 amps, while a CEE 32A socket is designed for 32 amps. This means a CEE 32A connection can deliver nearly double the electrical power, which is essential for high-demand applications such as industrial machinery or fast charging of electric vehicles.

    Physical size and compatibility

    One of the most noticeable differences is the physical size of the plug and socket. A CEE 32A socket is substantially larger and sturdier than a 16A socket. The 32A version typically has an outer diameter of around 70 mm compared to approximately 50 mm for the 16A. The pins are also thicker and spaced further apart. These differences are intentional to prevent mismatching: a 32A plug will not fit a 16A socket and vice versa, improving safety for higher-power connections.

    Technical capacity and cabling

    A CEE 16A socket is usually used for 230V (single-phase) or 400V (three-phase) applications and can deliver up to 11 kW. The CEE 32A socket can deliver up to 22 kW, making it ideal for more power-intensive setups like the Voldt Type 2 mobile charger with CEE 32A plug. This also means thicker cabling is required — typically 6 mm² for 32A vs. 2.5 mm² for 16A — to handle the higher current safely.

    Applications and installation

    CEE 16A sockets are common in camping grounds, garages, or for lighter mobile uses. CEE 32A sockets are used in industry, food trucks, construction sites, or high-capacity EV chargers. Their larger size means they’re also physically more robust and often waterproof (IP44 or IP67). Proper installation in the UK must include appropriate fuses and RCDs in line with BS 7671 wiring regulations.

  • What are the steps between 8A and 16A for a portable charging cable?

    The steps between 8A and 16A for a mobile charging cable are: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A. These are standard settings on adjustable mobile charging cables, such as those from Voldt, allowing you to adapt the charging power to the available power supply and location.

    Why are these steps selected?

    Each step (8A, 10A, 13A, 16A) corresponds to common circuit breaker levels and domestic grid standards across Europe. 8A is the most conservative option and is useful for older installations. 10A is a moderate step that fits most household sockets. 13A is common in the UK, where plugs are fused at 13A. The 16A setting offers the fastest charging rate where a dedicated circuit or heavy-duty socket is available.

    Practical use of adjustable current levels

    Adjustable charging cables like the Voldt Type 2 mobile charging cable allow manual or digital selection of current. This is essential when charging at locations with limited power or shared circuits. Lower current avoids tripping breakers, while 16A enables faster charging if the grid can handle it.

    Safety and compatibility

    Correct current settings are crucial for safe charging. Voldt cables include thermal sensors and overload protection, and they shut off automatically in unsafe conditions. Make sure the selected current matches your electrical system, and check if you're on a 1-phase or 3-phase setup. Some countries have different rules for 16A connections, so always verify local requirements.

  • What is the difference between Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4 charging?

    Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4 are different methods of charging electric vehicles (EVs), each with specific features and applications. Mode 1 charging involves using a standard household socket without additional communication or safety features, which is the least safe and therefore rarely recommended. Mode 2 charging uses a standard socket but incorporates an in-cable control and protection system (ICCB) that provides additional safety. Mode 3 charging is via dedicated charging stations that communicate with the vehicle to regulate the current and ensure maximum safety, mostly used at public and home charging stations. Mode 4 charging is fast charging via direct current (DC) and requires dedicated charging stations that directly feed the vehicle's battery, which is much faster than the other modes and usually found along motorways or at commercial charging points.

What charging cables are available for electric cars?


To connect the electric car to a public charging station (charging mode 3), a type 2 charging cable is required. Type 2 in this case refers to the type of connector/connection on the side of the charging station. There are two types of connectors on the side of the vehicle. These are the IEC 621961 type 1 connector (also known as Yazaki), abbreviated to type 1, and the IEC 621962 type 2 connector (also known as Mennekes), abbreviated to type 2.
