Type 2 Mennekes connections

Type 2 (Mennekes) Charging Solutions: The Standard for Every Electric Vehicle

Welcome to our category for all Type 2 charging solutions ! If you own an electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in Europe, the Type 2 connection —also known as the Mennekes plug —is the most crucial and universal interface for charging your vehicle. Virtually every modern electric vehicle sold in Europe uses the Type 2 standard for alternating current (AC) charging, both at home and at public charging stations.

At Accu-Machine.nl, we understand the importance of reliable, safe, and efficient charging solutions. That's why we've put together a comprehensive range of Type 2 home chargers and Type 2 charging cables that are perfectly compatible with your electric vehicle. Whether you're looking for a universal Mode 3 charging cable for on-the-go use or a robust Mennekes home charger for everyday convenience, you'll find the perfect match here to keep your EV or PHEV always charged.

What is Type 2 (Mennekes) and Why is it the Standard?

The Type 2 plug , often referred to as the Mennekes plug (after the German manufacturer that developed it), is the official standard for AC charging of electric vehicles within the European Union (IEC 62196-2). This means that with a Type 2 cable, you have access to the vast majority of public and private AC charging stations in Europe.

• Universal Compatibility: Virtually all EVs and PHEVs delivered in Europe have a Type 2 input for AC charging. This ensures you can charge virtually anywhere with a Type 2 charging cable.
• Versatility: The Type 2 connector supports both single-phase and three-phase charging, allowing for a range of charging speeds, from 3.7 kW to as much as 22 kW. This makes the Type 2 connector extremely flexible.
• Safety: The Type 2 standard is designed with safety in mind. The plug is lockable, preventing accidental disconnection and protecting against theft while charging.

While the Type 2 connection is primarily for AC charging, most electric cars use the CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) connector for DC fast charging, which integrates the Type 2 connector with two additional pins for DC. Our focus in this category, however, is on Type 2 solutions for your daily AC charging needs.
