2 Product Overview

The Type 2 to Type 2 EV Charging Cable is a high-power charging cable designed for AC Level 2 and Level 3 electric vehicle charging applications. Engineered to the IEC 62196-2 standard, this cable delivers up to 22 kW (3-Phase) or 7.4 kW (1-Phase) at 32A, making it suitable for both residential wallboxes and commercial charging stations.

The cable features six individual cores (5 × 6.0 mm² power conductors + 1 × 0.75 mm² signal/proximity pilot core) with Class 5 flexible stranded copper per IEC 60228, ensuring reliable power delivery while maintaining excellent flexibility for daily handling. The TPU outer jacket provides superior cold flexibility down to -35°C, exceptional abrasion resistance, and long-term UV stability — outperforming standard PVC or TPE jackets in demanding environments.

Built with IP65-rated connectors and IK10 mechanical impact protection, the cable withstands harsh outdoor conditions including rain, dust, and physical wear from frequent use in public charging stations. Each cable undergoes 2500V AC dielectric testing and 100% factory inspection to ensure electrical safety and compliance.

Manufactured under rigorous quality management by SORIVO, the charging cable is TUV and CE certified, with a proven track record across European, UK, Australian, and Southeast Asian markets. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.

3 Key Features

IEC 62196-2 Type 2 Compliant

Fully compliant with the IEC 62196-2 standard for Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors — the European standard for AC EV charging. Compatible with all Type 2 charging stations and vehicles.

22 kW Fast Charging

Supports 32A 3-phase charging at up to 22 kW, significantly reducing charging time compared to standard 11 kW or 7.4 kW cables. Backward compatible with 1-phase systems at 7.4 kW.

Premium TPU Jacket

Thermoplastic polyurethane jacket delivers outstanding cold flexibility (down to -35°C), UV resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance — far superior to PVC or TPE materials.

High-Flex Class 5 Copper

Class 5 flexible stranded copper conductor ensures ease of handling and long-term bending durability, with low electrical resistance for minimized power loss during charging.

IP65 Weatherproof

IP65-rated connectors provide reliable dust-tight and water-jet protection when mated, ensuring safe operation in outdoor environments including rain, snow, and dusty conditions.

IK10 Impact Resistance

Connector housing rated to IK10 impact protection — the highest level for EV charging equipment — ensuring durability against drops, knocks, and vehicular impact in public stations.

TUV & CE Certified

Independently tested and certified to TUV and CE standards, providing verified safety and performance assurance for installers, fleet operators, and charging network operators.

Customizable Options

Available in multiple lengths (3/5/7/10m), straight or spiral form, and customizable jacket colors. OEM/ODM orders welcome for charging network operators and EVSE manufacturers.

5 FAQ

Q What is the difference between 11 kW and 22 kW charging cables?
The 22 kW cable supports 32A 3-phase charging, delivering twice the power of an 11 kW cable (16A 3-phase). At 22 kW, a typical EV with a 60 kWh battery can fully charge in approximately 3 hours, versus 5-6 hours with an 11 kW cable. Both cables use the same Type 2 connector but differ in conductor sizing — the 22 kW version uses 5 × 6.0 mm² conductors to safely handle the higher current.
Q Is this cable compatible with single-phase charging?
Yes. While the cable is rated for 3-phase 22 kW operation, it is fully backward compatible with 1-phase charging systems. When connected to a 1-phase 230V AC supply, the cable supports 32A charging at up to 7.4 kW. The cable's 5-core construction (5 × 6.0 mm²) distributes the load appropriately whether connected to a 1-phase or 3-phase charging station.
Q What does the TPU jacket offer compared to standard PVC or TPE?
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) provides three key advantages: (1) superior cold flexibility down to -35°C (PVC becomes stiff and brittle below -10°C), (2) significantly higher abrasion and cut resistance for daily handling and cable drag on ground surfaces, and (3) better UV and chemical resistance for long-term outdoor exposure. TPU is the preferred jacket material for premium EV charging cables used in public and commercial environments.
Q Can I use a 22 kW cable with an 11 kW wallbox?
Absolutely. A 22 kW rated cable can be used with any lower-power wallbox (3.7 kW, 7.4 kW, or 11 kW). The charging station's internal electronics determine the actual charging power — the cable simply provides the rated capacity. Using a higher-rated cable does not harm the vehicle or charger, and may be beneficial if you plan to upgrade your wallbox in the future.
Q What countries and EV models are Type 2 connectors compatible with?
Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) connectors are the standard for AC charging across the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and several Middle Eastern countries. Nearly all EVs sold in these markets — including Tesla (with adapter), BMW i-series, VW ID series, Renault Zoe, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV, Mercedes EQ, Audi e-tron, Volvo Recharge, and others — accept Type 2 charging cables.
