Type 2 tethered cable refers to a specific type of charging cable that is commonly used for electric vehicles (EVs). It is designed to be compatible with Type 2 charging connectors, which are widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. The cable is typically equipped with both ends attached – one end is fitted with a Type 2 connector that connects to the EV's charging port, and the other end is a standard plug that can be inserted into a charging station or wall socket. This type of cable enables EV owners to easily connect their vehicles to charging infrastructure for recharging purposes.
Are Type 2 chargers AC or DC?
Type 2 chargers are AC (alternating current) chargers. They are designed to deliver AC power to an electric vehicle for charging its onboard battery. The conversion from AC to DC (direct current) is typically done within the electric vehicle's charging system.
Can Type 2 charging cables extend?
Yes, Type 2 charging cables can be extended using cable extensions or adapters. However, it is important to note that extending the length of the cable may result in some loss of charging efficiency or slower charging speeds. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that any extension or adapter used is compatible with EV Type 2 charging cables and meets the necessary safety standards.
Do I need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable?
Having a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is essential to connect your EV to public EV chargers that require users to provide their own cable. Our Heavy Duty cables are available in two variants: Single Phase (7kW) and Three Phase (22kW). The choice between these variants depends on the charging capabilities of your EV.
