✅ 16/32 Amps Single/Three phase
✅CE / RoHS/REACH/UKCA Certificates
✅ Eco-friendly Material
✅ Heat Resistant Cable
BESEN Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable is designed to connect Type 2 EV chargers with vehicles featuring an IEC 62196-2 socket. One side features a Type 2 male plug, which connects to the charger outlet, while the other side is equipped with a Type 2 female plug, which connects to the vehicle inlet. This Mode 3 charging cable is not only built for convenience but also more durable, aging-resistant, and optimized to deliver faster charging speed.
What is the Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable?
A Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable is the standard solution for charging electric vehicles (EVs) across Europe, featuring Type 2 connectors on both ends. Specifically designed for Mode 3 EV charging, this cable is compatible with most modern electric vehicles (e.g. Tesla Model 3) and charging stations, facilitating the transfer of power from the grid directly to the vehicle’s battery.
One of the key advantages of the Mennekes charging cable is its ability to handle both single-phase and three-phase power. This versatility allows for charging at different speeds, depending on the capacity of the charging station and the vehicle’s onboard charger. Whether used with a home EV charger or a public charging station, the cable can easily adapt to various power supplies, making it a reliable and essential tool for efficient EV charging.

Commercial and Home Charging
BESEN Type 2 cable seamlessly operates in both residential and commercial environments. Whether it’s charging an electric vehicle in a home garage or ensuring efficient operation at a business charging station, this cable guarantees fast, dependable performance in any setting. Its versatility makes it ideal for both personal use and large-scale operations, delivering reliable power transfer regardless of the location.
Single-Phase vs. Three-Phase
When using an IEC62196-2 charging cable, it’s important to know whether the vehicle and charging station support single-phase or three-phase charging.
Single-phase charging is common at residential stations, offering speeds up to 7.4 kW, suitable for overnight charging.
Three-phase charging, found at public stations or some home EV chargers, allows for faster charging up to 22 kW.
Smooth, Hassle-Free Charging Anywhere
Ergonomic Plug Design: Easy to connect and disconnect without strain, even with repeated use. The plugs fit snugly, minimizing any loose connections that could interrupt charging.
Lightweight and Portable: Take it on the go. The cable is easy to carry and store, making it perfect for road trips or daily commutes.
Tangle-Free Design: No more messy cables. The cable’s thoughtful design prevents tangles, so setup is quick and hassle-free every time.

BESEN Type 2 Cable in Use Around the World (5)
Type 1 charging cables are typically used in older electric vehicles, especially in the U.S. and Japan, and have a five-pin connector that supports single-phase charging only. Type 2 cables, on the other hand, are the European standard, featuring a seven-pin connector. They support both single-phase and three-phase charging, allowing for faster, more versatile charging options.
You can use a Mennekes charging cable at any compatible charging station equipped with a Type 2 socket, including public charging stations, home wall boxes, and workplace chargers. These cables are designed to work with most European EV models and charging points, making them highly versatile for both home and public charging needs.
Yes, Type 2 charging cables are considered universal across Europe due to the EU’s standardization of the IEC 62196-2 connector. They work with most electric vehicles and charging stations across the continent, ensuring widespread compatibility. However, always check your vehicle’s charging port to confirm it uses a Type 2 connector before purchasing.
To choose the right cable length, consider where you usually charge your vehicle. For home use, a shorter cable (3-5 meters) may be sufficient if your charging point is close to where you park. However, for public charging stations or situations where the charging point may be farther away, a longer cable (5-10 meters) can provide greater flexibility and convenience.
Yes, BESEN Type 2 charging cables are designed with weather-resistant materials and have an IP rating (usually IP54 or higher), making them safe to use outdoors in rain, snow, or other harsh weather conditions. However, it’s always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure your specific cable is rated for outdoor use.
