Type 2 charging cables for Type 2 electric cars

All EVs equipped with a Type 2 connector can be charged using a Type 2 / Type 2 charging cable. This is the most common cable in Europe.The main vehicles compatible with the Type 2 / Type 2 charging cable are: BMW i3, Cupra Born, Dacia Spring, Fiat 500e, Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Kia e-Niro, Lexus UX 300e, MG 4, Mini Cooper SE, Nissan Leaf, Peugeot e-208, Renault Megane E-Tech, Renault Zoe, Tesla Model Y, etc. Why not check out your EV’s compatibility on our Vehicles page before purchasing your Type 2 / Type 2 cable?

7kW and 22kW charging cables are compatible with all EVs equipped with a Type 2 connector. For optimum, fast charging for EVs with a charging capacity above 7kW (three-phase), we advise you to buy a 22kW T2 / T2 cable. EVs with a charging capacity of 7kW (single-phase) won’t be able to charge any faster with a 22kW Type 2 / Type 2 cable since the power rating of your vehicle automatically restricts the charging capacity.

To charge at full capacity at either single-phase or three-phase charging points, we recommend purchasing a 22kW Type 2 / Type 2 charging cable. Charging with an 11kW cable on a single-phase charging station will be restricted to a power rating of 3.7kW.

You will be able to charge at a large number of charging stations in the UK, Ireland and across Europe with the Type 2 / Type 2 cable. You will find a widespread network of charging points on the public network, home charging stations and charging points on business premises and at holiday locations for you to charge your EV with a station-side Type 2 cable.

Charging times with a Type 2 Type 2 cable are dependent on the network you plug into, the charging capacity of your EV and can also vary according to the outdoor temperature in winter and summer.
