BESEN Type 2 to GB/T Charging Cable is made for electric vehicles with GB/T charging ports. To use it, simply connect the Type 2 end to a compatible European Type 2 charging station and insert the GB/T charger plug into the vehicle’s charging socket.
This cable is built from high-quality materials, including silver-plated, self-cleaning terminals, ensuring a smooth and efficient charge. It’s also highly durable, resisting cracks and damage even after long exposure to sunlight and oil, making it tougher than regular cables.
Understanding Type 2 and GB/T Charging Standards
The Type 2 connector, often called the Mennekes plug, is the standard for Level 2 EV charging across Europe. GB/T is the standard charging interface used in China, one of the world’s largest EV markets. While both systems are effective in their regions, they operate under different technical specifications, meaning they aren’t directly compatible without an adapter or specialized cable.
Differences Between Type 2 and GB/T Connectors
At first glance, both Type 2 and GB/T cables seem to serve the same purpose: facilitating the charging of electric vehicles. However, they differ significantly in terms of design, power capacity, and compatibility.
- Connector Design: Although both Type 2 and GB/T connectors feature 7 pins, the layout differs. Type 2 follows a circular arrangement, while GB/T uses a flat, linear layout, reflecting regional design preferences.
- Charging Power: Both support AC charging but may differ slightly in voltage and current limits, depending on national regulations.
- Compatibility: Without a dedicated adapter, direct connections between Type 2 and GB/T systems aren’t possible—hence the need for cables like BESEN’s, which bridge the two standards seamlessly.
Power Up with the BESEN Type 2 to GB/T Cable
How Does Type 2 to GB/T Cable Work?
The GB/T EV charging cable connects the Type 2 charging station to the EV with the GB/T port, transmitting alternating current to the onboard charger. The onboard system converts AC to DC to charge the vehicle’s battery. This charging process, though slower than DC fast charging, is gentler on the battery and ideal for overnight or home charging.
Plug in and Power Up
No technical expertise or complex setup required—this cable offers intuitive, hassle-free operation. Simply connect the Type 2 plug to the EV recharge station and the GB/T plug to the vehicle. Charging begins instantly, with automated safety systems actively monitoring temperature, voltage, and current throughout the session. This ensures smooth and reliable power delivery, protecting both the vehicle and charging infrastructure.
Outdoor and Indoor
Rain, sun, or snow—this cable thrives under any condition. With an IP54 waterproof rating, the Type 2 to GB/T charging cable is ready for both indoor and outdoor use. Its rugged, durable construction withstands daily wear and tear, making it perfect for high-demand, long-term applications. Whether it’s a bustling charging station or a busy logistics fleet, this cable delivers reliable performance day in and day out.

No, the Type 2 to GB/T charging cable is designed for vehicles equipped with a GB/T port. It allows Chinese-made EVs, such as those from BYD, NIO, XPeng, and Geely, to charge at European Type 2 public chargers. This cable provides compatibility for GB/T-equipped EVs traveling in Europe, ensuring they can access widely available AC charging networks.
The charging speed depends on the charger and the vehicle’s capacity. Type 2 AC chargers typically provide up to 22 kW, suitable for most public stations.
The GB/T standard is China’s primary EV charging interface, featuring separate plugs for AC and DC charging. Unlike CCS connectors, which integrate both AC and DC pins in one plug, GB/T offers two distinct ports—one for each charging type—simplifying hardware but requiring adapters for international compatibility.
No, this specific Type 2 to GB/T cable only supports AC charging through Type 2 public stations, typically limited to 22 kW. For DC fast charging, a separate DC GB/T cable is required, which can offer speeds up to 350 kW at fast-charging stations.
