EV EXPERT Type 2 cable, single-phase, light and flexible
This EV EXPERT cable links a Type 2 electric car to a Mode 3 AC charging station, with a Type 2 (Mennekes) connector at both ends. It is a single-phase lead rated 32 A for up to 7.4 kW, and its main practical draw is being lighter and more flexible than many comparable cables — which tells most in cold weather, when stiff leads are awkward to coil and plug in.
Single-phase up to 7.4 kW
Rated 32 A on a single phase for up to 7.4 kW, the cable carries the lowest of what the charging station and the car's onboard charger allow. Both ends are Type 2, fitting any car with a Type 2 inlet and the Type 2 sockets on AC stations. The 5 m length suits most parking situations.
Light, flexible and hard-wearing
The cable is lighter and more flexible than many alternatives, which makes it easier to handle and coil, especially in the cold. The outer sheath is TPE-U, the connector housings are non-flammable thermoplastic resistant to scratches and knocks, and the connectors are rated for more than 10,000 mating cycles. Plugged in, the connection is protected to IP44; with the caps fitted the disconnected connectors are rated IP54, and the connectors conform to IEC 62196-2.

Frequently asked questions
Is this single-phase or three-phase?
Single-phase, rated 32 A for up to 7.4 kW. For three-phase AC charging up to 11 or 22 kW you need a three-phase Type 2 cable and a car that supports three-phase charging.
