Electric vehicle charging cables

Charging cables are selected according to the electric vehicle connector:

• Type 1 (SAE J1772):For older models, mostly from Asia.
• Type 2 (IEC 62196-2):Most common in Europe.
• CCS (Combined Charging System):For fast DC charging.
• CHAdeMO:It is used by some Japanese and Korean cars.

Single-phase cable:Supports charging up to 7.4 kW, suitable for home charging stations.

Three-phase cable:It provides higher power (up to 22 kW) and is suitable for faster charging, especially at public stations.

Charging cables are usually between 5 and 10 meters long. Shorter cables are easier to store, but longer ones provide more flexibility.

Cables have different power levels, which depend on the phases and current:

• 3.7 kW:For standard household sockets.
• 7.4 kW:For single-phase systems (32A).
• 22 kW:For three-phase systems (32A per phase).
• The cable must match the power of the charging station and the electric vehicle.

Not directly, but it is possible with an adapter that converts Type 2 to Type 1.

High-quality cables should offer:

• Surge protection.
• Temperature management.
• Short circuit protection.
• Built-in residual current protection (DC < 6mA).

Yes, if the cable is IP54 or IP65 rated. This provides water and dust resistance, making it safe for outdoor use.

Keep the cable away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Use a holder or storage box to prevent twisting and damage.

Check the connectors regularly for wear or dirt.
