The Correct Charging Connections for the Sono Sion (European Context)

The Sono Sion was designed to be fully compatible with the European charging infrastructure, which was crucial for its intended market:

• AC charging (Alternating Current): The Type 2 connection. This is the universal standard for AC charging in Europe and was the planned connection for home charging stations and all public AC charging points for the Sono Sion.
• DC fast charging (Direct Current): The CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) connection. This was the planned standard for DC fast charging in Europe and was to be used at fast-charging stations along highways and at larger charging points. The Sion was even planned to support bidirectional charging (Vehicle-to-Grid and Vehicle-to-Home) via CCS2.

Our universal Type 2 charging cables and charging stations are fully compatible with these Type 2 and CCS2 standards, should you wish to charge a Sono Sion.

Charging speed: Potential charging capacities of the Sono Sion

The Sono Sion's charging speed was designed for efficiency and ease of use, taking into account its 54 kWh battery capacity:

• AC charging (home and public): The Sono Sion supports a maximum AC charging speed of up to 11 kW (3-phase) . This means that with a suitable 3-phase charging station or mobile home charger, the Sion can be fully charged (0-100%) in approximately 5 hours. Our Type 2 charging cables and charging stations are capable of delivering these capacities.
• DC fast charging (on the go): The Sono Sion was planned to be capable of fast charging via CCS2 at speeds of up to 75 kW DC . This would allow the battery to be charged from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes at a compatible fast charger.

Universal Charging Products Compatible with Sono Sion Specifications

While the availability of Sono Sion vehicles is very limited, we offer universal charging solutions that meet the specifications used for the Sono Sion:

Type 2 Charging Cables for Charging Stations and Public Charging Points

A high-quality Type 2 charging cable is universal and compatible with the AC charging port the Sono Sion would have. Our cables are available in various lengths and with different current ratings (11 kW, 22 kW, 3-phase), and are robust, durable, and safe for power transfer. Also consider handy accessories like a storage case or cable holder .

Universal Home Chargers (Mobile Chargers)

Our mobile chargers with a Type 2 plug are suitable for charging the Sono Sion via a standard socket (Schuko, CEE blue, or CEE red). These emergency chargers offer flexible charging at locations without a fixed charging station, ideal for charging on the go or in situations where a permanent installation isn't possible.

Type 2 Charging Stations (Home Charging Stations)

A dedicated Type 2 charging station at home would provide the most optimal charging experience for the Sono Sion. Our selection of charging stations offers advanced features like smart charging and load balancing , and is available in capacities perfectly suited to the Sion's AC charging capacity (up to 11 kW). We also offer advice on charging station installation for a worry-free experience.
