For which cars is a 1-phase 16A Type 1 charger suitable?
These chargers are intended for electric vehicles with a Type 1 connection (J1772) that cannot charge faster than 3.7 kW. Consider:
- Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
- Nissan Leaf (1st generation)
- Opel Ampera / Chevrolet Volt
- Citroën C-Zero / Peugeot iOn
- Ford Focus Electric (USA import)
These vehicles often have limited on-board charger capacity, making a 16A home charger sufficient for daily charging, for example overnight.
Charging speed, connection and safety explained
A 1-phase 16A charger delivers a maximum of 3.7 kW charging power. This means an average range of 15–20 km per hour of charging. The connection requires a 230V power supply with a separate 16A group in the meter cupboard. Charging is done via mode 3 with a Type 1 plug – safe, standardized and interference-free.
The most important safety features:
- CE marking and conforming to EU standards
- DC Leak Detection and Surge Protection
- Overheating protection
- Waterproof housing suitable for outdoor use
These chargers are designed for long life and everyday use, without compromising on safety or quality.
Frequently Asked Questions about Type 1 16A Home Chargers
Is 3.7 kW sufficient for everyday use?
For smaller EVs and plug-in hybrids this is usually more than enough. You can fully charge overnight without power.
Can I use this charger for a 32A car?
Yes, the charger adapts. You then charge at a maximum of 3.7 kW, even if your car can handle more. The car ultimately determines the charging speed.
What is the difference with a Type 2 connection?
Type 1 is used on older EVs and some import models. Type 2 is the current European standard. Always check the connection of your vehicle.
