Who Should Invest in BESEN Type 2 Plug (Car Side)? (3)
Important Note: Single Component Product
This Type 2 Plug (Female) is sold as a standalone component, meaning it does not include cables or additional accessories.

The Type 2 plug is preferred for its versatility, safety, and high efficiency. It supports single-phase and three-phase AC charging, providing faster and more reliable charging compared to older connectors. Its compatibility with most modern electric vehicles and public charging stations across Europe and other regions ensures ease of use. The plug’s standardized design also simplifies charging infrastructure development, making it a future-ready solution for EV users.
No, the Type 2 plug and J1772 plug are not the same, although they serve similar purposes in electric vehicle charging. The J1772 connector is the standard connector used in North America and Japan for AC charging. It features a five-pin design and supports single-phase charging only, typically offering a maximum power delivery of 7.2 kW.
In contrast, the Type 2 plug, commonly referred to as the Mennekes connector, is the standard in Europe and supports both single-phase and three-phase charging. It has a seven-pin design and can deliver up to 22 kW of power in three-phase setups.
The charging speed of a Type 2 plug depends on several factors, including the vehicle’s onboard charger, the type of charging station, and the available power supply. For single-phase AC charging, speeds typically range from 3.6 kW to 7.2 kW, suitable for home use. With three-phase AC charging, speeds can reach up to 22 kW at home, significantly reducing charging times.
The Type 2 plug is primarily used for AC charging, supporting single-phase and three-phase power delivery. On the other hand, the CCS (Combined Charging System) plug builds upon the Type 2 design, incorporating two additional pins for DC charging. This dual functionality allows CCS plugs to support both AC and ultra-fast DC charging, making them more versatile for long-distance EV travel.
Yes, adaptors are available to bridge the compatibility gap between Type 1 J1772 and Type 2 plugs, offering a practical solution for EV owners traveling across regions with differing plug standards. These adaptors, such as the BESEN EVSP005 Type 1 to Type 2 adaptor, allow vehicles equipped with Type 2 inlets to use charging stations equipped with Type 1 connectors.
