Charging cable type 2
The Type 2 charging cable is the European standard for charging electric cars. Almost every new EV sold in Europe has a Type 2 (Mennekes) charging port. With this cable, you connect your car to your home EV charger, a public charging station or a socket charger. At Wallboxdiscounter, you will find Type 2 charging cables from brands such as Loady and Ratio in all common lengths and power ratings.
Which charging cable type 2 fits your car?
The right charging capacity depends on the onboard charger in your car and your electrical connection at home:
| Power | Phase | Amperage | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.7 kW | 1-phase | 16A | Plug-in hybrids, simple home connection |
| 7.4 kW | 1-phase | 32A | EVs with a powerful 1-phase onboard charger |
| 11 kW | 3-phase | 16 A | Most fully electric cars |
| 22 kW | 3-phase | 32A | Fast chargers, suitable for future cars |

Charging cable type 2 with plug socket (230V)
Do you want to charge via a standard socket? Then you are looking for a charging cable type 2 with a 230V plug, also known as a mobile home charger. This is a temporary solution for anyone who does not yet have an EV charger. You then charge at a maximum of 2.3 kW (10A), which equals around 10 to 13 kilometres of driving range per hour. For daily use, a fixed EV charger with fixed cable is much faster and safer.
Type 2 charging cable: straight or spiral?
Straight cables are the most common and are available in lengths from 5 to 20 meters. A spiral (coiled) charging cable takes up less space and does not drag across the ground. Useful if you keep the cable in the boot.
