Type 2 tethered chargers (right) have a cable permanently wired to them, with a type 2 connector on the end. If additional length is required, whilst a type 2 to type 2 cable would physically fit, due to a safety mechanism within the international standard covering type 2 leads, the wiring configuration prevents the charge from commencing. The only solution is to replace the lead wired into the charger with a new tethered cable.
If your charger is untethered (left) and has a type 2 socket built into the unit, you can simply use a longer type 2 to type 2 cable.
This cable is only compatible with EVs with the most common type 2 connector (right). Type 2 connectors have 7 pins and were adopted as the EU standard for EVs in 2014.
Conscious of the number of cheap non-compliant cables on the market, we introduced these cables, which are assembled in the UK from high quality components. Unlike cheaper cables which often only enable a 16A (3.7kW) charge rate, these support a full 32A (7.4kW). The unique cable provides more robust communication cores for reliable operation, whilst providing the smallest diameter and lightest cable available.
Available in a range of lengths from 5m to 30m (contact us for longer lengths) with a choice of yellow, black or blue cable.
May be used in conjunction with our type 2 connector wall mount.
