The charging cables listed below are compatible with your vehicle if it has a Type 2 vehicle socket. Regardless of whether your EV or PHEV (Hybrid) can only accept charging up to 3kW, 7kW, or 11kW, both 7kW and 22kW charging cables can be used. The vehicle and charging point will communicate to ensure that your vehicle receives the correct amount of current. In short, any Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable will work. These cables are available in lengths of 3 meters, 5 meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, and 20 meters.
What Is a Type 2 To Type 2 32A Charging Cable?
Type 2 is the name given to the plugs that fit into the sockets of the vehicle and the charging point. The vast majority of charging points in Europe use the Type 2 socket, so if you want to connect your EV to an AC public charging point or a home wall box, then you will need the cables below. The plug that fits into the charging socket of your vehicle will either be Type 1 or Type 2. The majority of vehicles have a Type 2 socket.
A 32A cable refers to the amount of current the cable can carry. Therefore, a Type 2 32A cable is either capable of providing current up to 7.4kW (1 Phase 32A) or up to 22kW (3 Phase 32A).
If you’re unsure whether your EV has a Type 2 vehicle socket, you can use the EV Cable Finder below to find your vehicle and see all the cables compatible with it.
Should I Buy A 1 Phase or 3 Phase Cable?
You can use any Type 2 32A charging cable for your vehicle, but whether it’s the most suitable depends on whether your vehicle supports 3 Phase charging. If your vehicle’s AC onboard charger (OBC) can handle 11kW, 16kW, or 22kW, then a 3 Phase 32A cable will enable faster charging, as it can deliver more current at 3 Phase charging points.
However, since most home wall boxes only support 1 Phase 32A charging, many customers opt for a 1 Phase Type 2 32A cable, which charges up to 7.4kW. Customers with vehicles capable of 3 Phase charging typically purchase a Type 2 32A 3 Phase charging cable if they use 3 Phase charging points away from home. It’s worth noting that if your car is advertised to charge at 50kW or higher, it refers to DC (rapid) charging, and the cables are already integrated into the DC charging unit.
