EV Type 2 Charging Cable Standards: From Specifications to Performance
China [CN] What it means: In the world of EV cables, the term Type refers to the design of the vehicle-side connector, which can be either Type 1 or Type 2. They correspond to Type 1 and Type 2 connectors. Mainly Asian car manufacturers initially only supplied cars with Type 1 connectors. Type 2 charging cables are the current standard for all vehicles. If you have a relatively new car, this may be all you need. Type 1 sockets can be found on older models of Asian brands, for example, and different EV charging uses different charging sockets.
What it does: Finding the right amperage and kilowatts and knowing whether you need a single-phase or three-phase cable is often the biggest challenge for new EV owners. Fortunately, there is an easy way to make the right choice. If you are looking for a cable that will allow you to charge as quickly as possible at any charging station, you just need to know the capacity of your EV inverter. Can your EV only handle single-phase or three-phase? Choose a cable with a kW capacity that is at least equal to or greater than the capacity of the onboard charger. You can calculate this based on the amperage.
