Overview

Why our buyers chose Type 2 to Schuko EV Charging Cable (European 2-pin).

Charge your EV from an ordinary continental European socket. Pack it when the car goes to France, Germany, Spain, Italy or the Netherlands and the only power at the other end is a wall socket.

Schuko, from the German Schutzkontakt, is the round two-pin plug with earth clips on the sides used across most of mainland Europe. A UK granny charger will not fit one, and a travel adapter rated for a phone is not built to carry hours of continuous charging current. This one is: a Mode 2 in-cable control box handles the handshake with the car, provides residual current protection, and monitors the temperature of the supply plug while charging.

  • Vehicle connector: Type 2 or Type 1
  • Supply plug: Schuko (CEE 7/4, European 2-pin)
  • Up to 3kW, 13A
  • Mode 2 with in-cable control box, to IEC 62752
  • Lengths from 2m to 30m
  • IEC 62196-2 (Type 2), CE marked

Pick your vehicle connector and length above. Type 2 suits almost every EV sold new in the UK since 2018, while Type 1 covers older Japanese and American designs. The longer lengths are there for awkward gîte and hotel car parks. For charging from UK sockets, see our granny chargers.

Features

What it actually does.

01

Fits sockets across mainland Europe

Schuko and compatible sockets are standard in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria and most of the rest of the continent.

02

Built for hours of continuous load

A travel adapter is designed for short bursts. This lead is rated to carry charging current for a full overnight session.

03

Temperature monitored plug

Older continental wiring varies enormously. The unit watches the plug and backs off if the socket starts to warm up.

04

Refuses to charge on a bad circuit

If the supply is not properly earthed the control box will not start. That is a safety feature, not a fault.

Getting started

No installation needed.

This is a plug-and-charge cable: there's nothing to install. Plug the Type 2 end into your home wallbox (or an untethered public AC charge point) and the other end into your car. For 3-pin charging, connect to a standard domestic socket for a slower top-up.

Push both connectors fully home until they click, and always unplug from the charge point first when you've finished.

What's in the box

FAQs

Honest answers.

No. UK sockets are the three pin BS 1363 pattern. For charging at home in the UK you want a granny charger with a UK plug. This lead is for continental European sockets.
Up to about 3kW, which is roughly 10 to 12 miles of range an hour, or 80 to 100 miles overnight. It is a top-up lead rather than a fast charge.
France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and most of central and southern Europe. Denmark and Italy have local variants, so check before you travel.
The most common cause is an unearthed circuit, which the control box will refuse to charge from. Older properties in France and Spain sometimes have these. Try a different socket and tell the owner.
Type 2 for almost every EV sold new in the UK since 2018. Type 1 for the older Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and first generation BMW i3.
