However, the problem arises when a good majority of public EV charging stations (especially those in Europe) offer a type 2 connection while electric vehicles support a type 1 charging inlet. The remedy for this incompatibility is a Type 1 to Type 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Cable [also known as SAE J1772 (Type 1) to Mennekes / IEC 62196 (Type 2) Cable] — enabling an EV with a type 1 male-inlet of an electric vehicle to charge from a type 2 charging point female-outlet. Here at EV Cable Shop, we offer these EV charging cables in 2 different sizes 5 and 10 meters,

However, efforts are being done to improve the added level of safety in Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cables so that they are able to support higher levels of current ratings in the future. Initially coming in a variety of colors, an EV Charging Cable Type 1 to Type 2 now usually comes in black as it is preferred by the customers for its good resistance against dirt marks. Furthermore, it is advised that you use a good quality type 1 and type 2 EV cable with a higher power efficiency to attain optimum results.
