2 Product Overview

The Type 2 to GB/T EV Charging Cable is a TUV-certified charging cable designed to connect European-standard (Type 2 / IEC 62196-2) EV charging stations with Chinese-standard (GB/T 20234) electric vehicles. Rated at 32A / 22kW (3-phase), it supports both fast AC charging at public stations and home charging applications.

The cable features high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors with Class 5 flexible stranding per IEC 60228, ensuring excellent conductivity and flexibility for everyday use. The 5-pin configuration supports 3-phase AC charging with Neutral and Protective Earth connections, while the optional 7-pin variant includes signal lines for communication between the EV and charging station.

The outer sheath is crafted from high-grade TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), offering outstanding abrasion resistance, cold flexibility, and UV stability. The IP65-rated connectors provide reliable protection against dust and water ingress during outdoor charging sessions. With a mechanical life exceeding 10,000 cycles, this cable is built for daily use in public charging networks, fleet operations, and residential installations.

Manufactured to rigorous quality standards under the management of SORIVO, each cable undergoes full electrical testing including dielectric withstand and insulation resistance measurements. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.

5 FAQ

Q What is the difference between Type 2 and GB/T connectors?
Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) is the European standard for EV charging connectors, featuring a 7-pin configuration supporting single and 3-phase AC charging. GB/T 20234 is the Chinese national standard for EV charging, with a different physical keying and pin arrangement. The cable acts as an adapter between these two standards, enabling GB/T-equipped Chinese EVs to charge from Type 2 charging stations.
Q What charging speed can I expect with this 32A cable?
With a 32A 3-phase supply, this cable delivers up to 22kW charging power. For a typical 60kWh EV battery, this translates to approximately 0-100% charge in around 3 hours. On a single-phase 32A supply (7kW), the same battery would take approximately 8-9 hours. Actual charging speed depends on your vehicle's onboard charger capacity and the charging station's output.
Q Is this cable compatible with my electric vehicle?
This cable is designed for GB/T-standard electric vehicles, including popular models from BYD (Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, Tang), MG (MG4, ZS EV, Marvel R), NIO, XPeng, Geely, Chery, Great Wall Motors, and most Chinese-manufactured EVs. It connects to any standard Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) charging station. If your vehicle uses a different standard (CCS, CHAdeMO, NACS), please contact us for the appropriate adapter.
Q Is the cable suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
Yes. The TPU jacket provides excellent cold flexibility down to -30°C and UV resistance for sun-exposed installations. The IP65-rated connectors (when properly mated) offer reliable protection against rain, dust, and splash water. However, we recommend storing the cable in a clean, dry place when not in use to maximize its service life.
Q Can I get a custom length or color?
Absolutely. We offer customization options including cable length (3m to 15m+), jacket color (black, white, green, orange), and connector configurations. OEM and ODM services are available for volume orders with custom branding and packaging. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements for a quotation.
