What kind of plugs are there for electric cars?

The EU Parliament's draft law states that type 2 has been the European standard for charging infrastructures since April 2014. However, there is still a variety of EV plugs you must know about.

Below we explain these, starting from the most common one so you can connect a charging station equipped with a type 2 socket to a vehicle equipped with a type 1 plug.

Type 2 plug

The triple-phase plug’s primary distribution area is Europe and is considered the standard model in private spaces, where charging power levels are up to 22 kW.

Most public charging stations are equipped with a type 2 socket as well. Charging power levels there are up to 43 kW. All our mode 3 charging cables can be used with this plug.
