Product Description

The global awareness of environmental protection has increased, and more and more people choose electric vehicles to travel. Electric vehicles are inseparable from electric drive for battery life. Users can choose to use Type 1 and Type 2 charging cables to connect the car for charging. Whether Type 1 or Type 2, all EV charging cables have a Type 2 connector on the charger end to connect to the charging point. So what's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 charging cables?
1. Different socket designs
There are generally two charging connectors at both ends of the cable. The type 1 plug is designed with 5 holes at one end and has a latch to fix the plug and prevent it from falling off the charger socket. It is used to connect electric vehicles. The other end has 7 holes. Designed to connect to a charging point. The Type 2 cable plug has a 7-hole design at both ends. Although there is no latch, there is a lock pin to locate and hold the plug in place. Only the owner can unplug the charging cable, which is more secure.
2. Different markets are used
Type 2 charging cables are mainly the standard for cable charging in Europe, and Type 1 is more common in Asian markets.
3, the use of different power
Type 1 is a single-phase charging cable, and Type 2 charging cables are available in single-phase or three-phase. Electric vehicles on the market today are generally equipped with these two different types of charging sockets, and many new vehicles entering the market are generally also equipped with Type 2 connectors. 2
