This EV Type 1 to Type 2 charging adapter is specifically designed for Type 2 EV charging. Its lightweight construction makes it incredibly portable, allowing for easy transportation. Additionally, it streamlines the wiring setup of the original adapter, primarily functioning as a converter. When plugged in, the adapter’s main body lights up with a bright green LED indicator, signaling its active status.
Why Do Type 2 EVs Require an Adapter for J1772 Stations?
Type 2 electric vehicles offer significant advantages in terms of faster charging speeds and the ability to support multi-phase power. However, the widespread use of J1772 charging stations across North America creates a compatibility challenge for owners of Type 2 EVs.
In regions where J1772 connectors dominate the charging infrastructure, a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter becomes a crucial solution. Without this adapter, a Type 2 vehicle cannot connect to a J1772-equipped station, resulting in restricted access to public charging and potential inconvenience.
BESEN Type 1 to Type 2 adapter plays a key role in bridging the gap between the Type 2 socket on European vehicles and the J1772 connectors found at many charging stations. This adapter enables a seamless connection, allowing Type 2 EVs to charge at J1772 stations without compromising the charging efficiency, ensuring that vehicle owners can make use of the extensive charging network available, even if the connectors are not directly compatible.

Why Trust the BESEN Type 1 to Type 2 Adapter?
Reminder: For Type 1 J1772 Chargers Only
The BESEN Type 1 to Type 2 Adapter is designed exclusively for connecting Type 2 electric vehicles to charging stations equipped with a Type 1 (J1772) cable. Ensure the charger uses a J1772 plug before use for safe and reliable operation.
Yes, a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter supports Level 2 charging, which is considered fast charging for most electric vehicles. The charging speed depends on both the station’s capacity and the vehicle’s charging capabilities. However, it’s essential to ensure that the adapter and the charging station are rated for the same amperage to prevent any power discrepancies or safety issues. Fast charging is possible as long as both the adapter and the infrastructure are designed to support it.
No, when using a high-quality, certified Type 1 to Type 2 adapter, there should be no impact on your vehicle’s battery or charging efficiency. The adapter is designed to maintain the integrity of the charging process, ensuring that your Type 2 electric vehicle receives the correct voltage and current for optimal charging. However, using low-quality or non-certified adapters could result in power irregularities, so it’s crucial to choose reputable, tested products for maximum safety and performance.
In most cases, Type 2 electric vehicles are compatible with Type 1 to Type 2 adapters. However, it’s important to verify that the adapter is compatible with your specific EV model and the charging station in question. Some older or specialized vehicles might require custom adapters, so it’s always advisable to consult with the vehicle manufacturer or adapter supplier for confirmation. Additionally, ensure the adapter supports the power requirements of your vehicle for the most efficient charging experience.
When using a reliable and high-quality adapter, the risk of overheating or safety concerns is minimal. High-quality adapters are equipped with essential safety features, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and temperature monitoring to prevent overheating or electrical faults.
Using a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter is quick and easy. Just follow these simple steps:
- Plug the Type 1 end into the EV Charger with J1772 Plug. Ensure it’s securely connected before proceeding.
- Attach the Type 2 end of the adapter to your EV’s charging port. Double-check that it’s properly inserted to avoid any loose connections.
