3-phase 16A (Mennekes) for electric cars

Charging cable Type 2 3-phase 16A: optimal charging up to 11 kW

With a Type 2 charging cable 3-phase 16A you can charge your electric car with up to 11 kW. This cable is designed for vehicles that use 3-phase AC charging via a Type 2 plug. Thanks to the wider current distribution over three phases, this cable is more efficient than 1-phase variants and therefore ideal for daily use at home charging points, at the office or at public charging stations.

Our 3-phase 16A charging cables are CE-approved and manufactured according to the strictest EU standards. They are resistant to intensive use and suitable for mode 3 charging. The cables are available in different lengths and equipped with a sturdy plug with lock.

Which vehicles is this charging cable suitable for?

The Type 2 3-phase 16A charging cable is suitable for EVs with an on-board charger up to 11 kW. Common models are:

• Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4
• BMW i3 (newer generations)
• Mercedes EQA and EQB
• Renault Zoe (11 kW version)
• Peugeot e-208 and e-2008

Cars with a 22 kW on-board charger are also compatible, but will then charge at 11 kW if the cable is 3x16A.

Charging speed, connection and safety explained

A 3-phase 16A charging cable delivers a maximum of 11 kW of power. This means that you can charge up to approximately 50-60 km of range per hour, depending on your vehicle. These cables use the standard Type 2 plug on the vehicle side and a Type 2 connector on the charging station side. Charging is done via mode 3, which stands for intelligent communication between car and charging point for safe charging.

Key Features:

• Charging capacity up to 11 kW (3x16A at 400V)
• Type 2 (Mennekes) plug, according to European standard
• Plug lock while charging
• Weather resistant and suitable for everyday use
• CE approved, tested for safety and compatibility

Please note: if you use this cable at a 1-phase charging station, your car will charge more slowly. The cable is then technically usable, but the charging speed is limited by the infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about Type 2 3-phase 16A charging cables

Is an 11 kW charging cable sufficient for my car?

Yes, if your car supports up to 11 kW, this is the ideal choice for optimal use of your on-board charger. Faster charging is only possible with a 22 kW cable and on-board charger.

Can I use this cable on public charging stations?

Yes, all public charging stations in Europe use Type 2 connectors. This cable is universally compatible for 3-phase charging up to 11 kW.

Is a 22 kW cable also suitable for 11 kW charging?

Yes, but 22 kW cables are heavier and more expensive. For 11 kW charging a 3x16A cable is lighter, more practical and cheaper.
