If you're buying charging cables for your electric vehicle, it's obviously important to choose the right cable. There are three main factors to consider when purchasing a cable: connector type, power/phase rating, and cable length. These correspond to the criteria that the charging cable needs to meet.

In addition to buying cables, you can also choose AC glow cables or coiled cables. For the same products, you should always check that the product you are buying has the certification mark of the relevant standard to ensure that it has been manufactured to meet the required safety standards.

There are a variety of charging cable connectors commonly used for electric vehicles, and if you don't know what features your car has, it's easy to tell at a glance - but the manual will tell you that too. The variants for cars compatible with fast chargers are Type 1 or Type 2, while those compatible with fast chargers are CCS or CHAdeMO . Of course, classified by different regional standards, more different charging cables and charging connectors models.

The 7-pin type 2 connector has become the more popular European fast charging standard when using wall-mounted charging boxes (7-22kW), but many older vehicles use type 1 5-pin connectors for charging at these speeds.

For example, 3*4 cables for 16A installations, 3*6 cables for 32A installations, 4*16+1*10mm cables for 40kW AC or 30kW DC installations, etc.

Requirements to be considered include power/phase rating, coiled charging cables or regular charging cables, etc. For more information on EV charging products or search: omgevcable
