14 Mode 3 cables for electric vehicles products
A Mode 3 charging cable is an essential accessory for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. It connects your vehicle to a charging station, providing a faster solution than a standard household outlet.
Designed to ensure safe charging, the Mode 3 cable allows reliable energy transmission between the charging station and the vehicle.
You will mainly find Mode 3 Type 2 cables, which are the European standard for both vehicles and charging stations.
There are also Mode 3 Type 1 cables for charging vehicles with a Type 1 connector on Type 2 stations.
Finally, some Type 3C charging stations are still present in France. These require a cable with a Type 2 or Type 1 connector for the vehicle and a Type 3C connector for the station.
The single-phase Mode 3 cable (1 phase) supports charging up to 7.4 kW in alternating current. It requires a single-phase electrical installation and a vehicle with an onboard charger with a maximum power of 7.4 kW AC.
The three-phase Mode 3 cable (3 phases) can handle up to 22 kW in alternating current. It is compatible with all electric vehicles. Regardless of the vehicle's onboard charger or the charging station used, the power will automatically adjust.
For optimal charging performance, it is recommended to choose a Mode 3 cable with the same power capacity as your vehicle. If you're unsure about your vehicle's charging capacity, feel free to check your model's specifications.
Three key elements are essential to select a cable with the correct connectors:
- The type of plug on the charging station you wish to use.
- The type of plug on your vehicle.
- Your vehicle's charging power (single-phase or three-phase).
