Type 2 | 1 phase | 16A | 3,7kW charging cable

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.

To charge your electric car safely and correctly, follow these steps in the right order: first, make sure your car is parked and switched off. Next, if you are using a home charging station or public charging point, grab the charging cable and connect it to the charging station. Then connect the other end of the charging cable to your vehicle's charging port. Check that the connection is solid and correct. If you use a Mode 2 charging cable that connects to a household socket, make sure the in-cable control box (ICCB) is properly positioned and connected before connecting the cable to the car. Once everything is connected, the charging process will start automatically. While charging, keep an eye on the charging status via the car's dashboard or the charging station indicator. Once charging is complete or you want to stop charging, disconnect from the car before disconnecting the cable from the charging station or socket.

Yes, Voldt’s Type 1 and Type 2 charging cables are suitable for any charging station in the UK. Be aware that our Type 3 charging cables are only suitable for a Type 3 charging station typically found in France or Italy.

The difference between the male and female sides of an EV charging cable plug lies in their destination. The male plug (IEC 62196-2) is the plug that goes into a charging station. The female plug (IEC 62196-2) is the plug that goes into your car. This ensures a proper usage of the cable. It also makes it impossible to use some sort of extension cable.
