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

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.

A CEE (or commando) power outlet differs significantly from a normal outlet, especially in the context of extending charging cables. CEE power sockets are designed for higher voltages and current ratings, usually 400V and 16A or 32A, making them suitable for heavy equipment and vehicles such as EVs. They often have multiple pins for phase, neutral and earth, allowing for a more stable and safe power supply. Normal power sockets, on the other hand, usually supply 230V and are limited to lower current ratings, making them less suitable for extending EV charging cables because of the higher risk of overheating and inefficiency. Using a CEE power outlet with the right extension cable can therefore significantly improve the safety and reliability of the charging process, provided the extension cable is of high quality and suitable for outdoor use.

Yes, it is possible to charge an electric car with a genset, but there are important considerations and precautions you need to keep in mind. The genset must provide enough power to meet the car's charging needs, which means the genset must have sufficient wattage and a stable power output. It is essential to use a genset that provides clean, stable electricity to avoid damage to the car's charging system. Furthermore, the charging cable should be compatible with the power supply of the aggregate. Always use a suitable and safe charging setup to avoid risks such as overheating or electrical faults. In emergencies, an aggregate can be a useful temporary solution, but for regular charging, a fixed charging solution is more reliable and efficient.

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.
