Buy charging stations with a type 2 Mennekes connection for electric cars
Most electric cars in Europe are equipped with a Mennekes connection on the car. This means that charging stations with a type 2 Mennekes connection are ordered most often.

All our charging stations are provided with a CE quality mark and you can always count on competitive prices with us. If you also order before 5:00 PM today, your new charging station will be delivered to you the next working day.
What exactly is a type 2 charging station?
A charging station type 2 is a charging station that is equipped with a type 2 charging cable or an outlet with a Mennekes connection. These can be various models, with the biggest differences being found mainly in the area of charging capacity:
- Type 2 charging stations with 1x16A
- Type 2 charging stations with 1x32A
- Type 2 charging stations with 3x16A
- Type 2 charging stations with 3x32A
It is wise to always choose a charging station that has a higher maximum charging speed than the car or the power grid to which the charging station is connected. The lowest maximum charging speed of the 3 factors mentioned determines the actual speed at which charging can be done.
Which cars is the Mennekes charging station suitable for?
If we do not differentiate between charging capacities and only look at the models that have a type 2 plug, you will quickly see that the Mennekes charging station is suitable for almost all modern European models, plus the Asian and American models that have been made recently and that are intended for the European market. These include:
- Tesla
- Volkswagen
- Volvo
- Mercedes-Benz
- BMW
- Audi

What should you pay attention to when choosing a charging station with a Mennekes connection?
The difference between charging station options is enormous. This is not just about the charging capacity and the connection (although that is often the first thing you look at), it is also about whether you want a charging station with fixed cables or not, whether you want insight into the charging consumption and whether you are looking for load balancing and a charging station that can be connected (and controlled) remotely. If the charging station is in a more accessible location, it may even be wise to choose a charging station with a Mennekes connection that can be locked (remotely).
Therefore, take into account what you want and need before you start comparing models. Of course, we are ready to help you find the right charging station for your specific situation; we are happy to think along with you.
Consider the future when choosing a charging station
There is a chance that you can currently make do with a weaker charging station, such as a 3.7 or 7.4 kW charging station. Many of the electric cars that are currently driving around in Belgium and the Netherlands can be optimally charged at 1x16A or 1x32A. However, if you choose a newer electric car in the future, there is a good chance that you will need a stronger charging station for this. That is why we advise you to choose a charging station that is stronger than you actually need now, especially if you are looking for a new car in a few years.
This way, the charging station is already suitable for your next car and you do not have to order and connect a charging station again when you choose a newer EV. A charging station on 3x16A can always charge at a lower charging speed to charge your current EV, but a 3.7 or 7.4 kW can never deliver more charging power to optimally charge your next EV.
