Frequently Asked Question
Type 1 cables, originally from Japan and Asia and designed for Asian brands of cars have 5 pins and no locking mechanism. Type 2 cables on the other hand were created for European brands of cars and have 7 pins with a built-in locking mechanism.
The time it takes to charge an EV with a Type 2 cable depends on various factors, including the battery capacity, charging power, and the current state of charge. Generally, charging a typical EV with a 7kW Type 2 charger can take several hours. However, higher power outputs, such as 22kW, can significantly reduce charging times.
No, you cannot use a Type 1 cable with a Type 2 charger. Type 1 and type 2 cables have a different number of pins which restricts which cars they are suitable for. Full research is always recommended before purchasing a charging cable to ensure it is compatible with your car manufacturer and model.
Your EV’s compatible charging cables will determine which one you should choose. If it is compatible with multiple types, you can weigh the pros and cons of EV charging cables type 2 and type 1. You should also consider the cable length that will be best suited to the distance between your EV and the charging point, as well as the connector type (most EVs in Europe use Type 2 connectors).
