Type 2 Type 1 charging cables for electric cars

The Type 2 Type 1 universal charging cable is compatible with electric cars equipped with a Type 1 connector and allows charging on public or domestic Type 2 charging stations in mode 3. Main electric vehicles compatible with the Type 2 Type 1 single-phase cable: Citroën Berlingo Electric, Citroëne-Berlingo Multispace, Citroën e-Méhari, Ford Focus Electric, Kia Soul EV, Nissan Leaf I, Peugeot iOn, Peugeot Partner Tepee Electric, Renault Kangoo ZE, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Mia Electric, Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet Bolt... You can check the connector for your vehicle on our Vehicles page.

The charging power of the Type 2 Type 1 cable can range from 2.3kW to 7kW in single phase 32A. The maximum charging power of the T2/T1 cable is 7kW and varies according to the power delivered by the charge point to which you connect your electric car. If your electric car is rated for a maximum of 16A, the charging power will also be limited for safety with the T2 T1 cable. This makes the Type 2 Type 1 32A cable the most versatile cable that gives you optimal single-phase charging in all situations.

Depending on the model of electric car, the charging hatch of the Type 1 connector is located in different places. To be able to easily charge a medium-sized electric car (city car or electric SUV) without the risk of a too short cable, we advise you to choose a Type 2 Type 1 cable of 7 meters long. If in doubt, please contact our technical expert.

The Type 2 socket on the terminal side is the most common in France and Europe. Buying a Type 2 Type 1 cable ensures that you can charge your electric car at a large number of charging points during your journeys among the 82,107 charging points that France will have by the end of 2022 (Source: Avère France). You can consult the map of charging points to find the Type 2 charging points near you to charge your Type 1 car.
