Professional Electric Vehicle Charging Cable Application Scenarios and Product Requirements

China [CN]

There are many types of charging cable connectors commonly used in electric vehicles. Even if you don't know what features your car has, you can easily distinguish them at a glance—but the manual will also tell you. Car variants compatible with fast chargers are Type 1 or Type 2. OMG EV cable products meet international standard technical certifications, ensuring stable delivery times and quality assurance.

When using wall-mounted charging boxes (7-22kW), the seven-pin Type 2 connector has become the more popular European standard for fast charging, but many older cars use Type 1 five-pin connectors to charge at these speeds.

Power/Phase Ratings: Choosing a charging cable capable of carrying enough current to charge the electric vehicle battery at the optimal time is crucial. Cables are typically available in 16-amp and 32-amp formats, the latter being heavier and thicker—it requires thicker wire to carry more current. A 7kW wall box will provide 32 amps of power, while a 3.6kW wall box is typically limited to 16 amps.

Sometimes, even if your current car charger is only rated for 16 amps, it's worthwhile to buy a 32-amp cable because you might want to use it later in another vehicle with a higher rating. However, 32-amp cables are heavier and therefore more cumbersome to handle, which might deter some potential buyers.
