EV Charging Cables – Safe and Efficient Charging with Weltmann KFZ-Teile

Whether at home, on the go, or at a public charging station – the right charging cable for your electric vehicle is essential for safe, fast, and reliable power supply. At Weltmann KFZ-Teile, you’ll find high-quality Mode 2 and Mode 3 charging cables for all common electric vehicles – compatible with Type 1, Type 2, and CCS connectors.

What Types of Charging Cables Are Available?

Different types of cables are used for charging electric vehicles. Here’s an overview of the most important variants:

  • Mode 2 charging cable: Ideal for charging from household or CEE sockets. Includes an integrated control and protection device (IC-CPD) to manage charging power.
  • Mode 3 charging cable: Standard for charging at public and private wallboxes. Connects the vehicle directly to the charging station, e.g., with a Type 2 to Type 2 cable.

Type 1 or Type 2 – Which Charging Cable Fits Your Vehicle?

The correct plug type depends on your vehicle model and charging station:

  • Type 1: Common on older models from Asian manufacturers (e.g., Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander).
  • Type 2: The European standard. Supported by almost all new EVs such as VW ID.4, Tesla Model Y, BMW i4, or Mercedes EQE.

Important Criteria When Buying a Charging Cable

  • Charging power: Depends on the cable and the vehicle’s onboard charger. 11 kW or 22 kW are typical for Mode 3 cables.
  • Length: Choose between 3–10 meters depending on use (e.g., garage wallbox or public station).

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charging Cables

1. What’s the difference between Type 1 and Type 2?

Type 1 is the older standard mainly used by Asian manufacturers. Type 2 is the current European standard and used in most new vehicles.

2. Can I use a Mode 3 cable with a household socket?

No, Mode 3 cables are designed for fixed charging points. For domestic sockets, you need a Mode 2 cable with an integrated control unit.

3. Which charging cable is right for my EV?

That depends on your vehicle’s connector and the charging infrastructure. Check your car’s socket and choose either a Type 1 or Type 2 cable accordingly.

4. Can I use a Type 2 cable at all public charging stations?

Yes, Type 2 is the standard at European AC charging points. A Mode 3 Type 2 cable is a safe and reliable choice.

5. How long should my charging cable be?

5 meters is usually enough for home use. For more flexibility or public charging, we recommend 7–10 meters.

6. Is a spiral or straight cable better?

Spiral cables are space-saving but heavier. Straight cables are easier to lay out – the choice depends on your use case.
