At Cables For Charging, we offer a range of charging cables, adaptors and charging infrastructure.
Electric Vehicles have two main charging types for connecting to public charging networks. These are either Type 1 or Type 2 connectors.All the EV Charging Cables connect to a standard Type 2 charging outlet or public charging connection that you would find at a public charging station as a service station, supermarket or car park.
Public charging are usually marked in the available power output of the socket. The most common power levels are 3.6Kw and 7.2Kw. These correspond to a 16 Amp or 32 Amp supply.
Type 2 or commonly refered to a Level 2 charging typically provides 10 – 25 miles of range per hour of charging.
The time to charge depends on a number of factors: Type of car and the size of the on-board charger, the capacity of the battery you are charging and the available output of the charge post and the size of the of the EV charging cable.
For most people this is a long time to wait and is inconvenient. It also requires having an external socket and off street
parking. Most drivers use these as a last resort.
Virtually all Electric Cars are supplied with one of these home chargers as standard. A great many never get used. It should really be an option when purchasing a new EV.
