FAQs
What type of electric vehicles is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that have a Type 2 charging port and support three-phase AC charging. This generally includes most models manufactured since 2018.
Can I use this cable with a standard single-phase 230V outlet?
No, this cable is designed for 380V (400V nominal), 32A, three-phase power sources to achieve its maximum 22kW charging speed. Using it with a single-phase outlet is not recommended and may not work or could be unsafe.
How do I know if my vehicle supports three-phase charging?
Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or the manufacturer's specifications. EVs capable of higher AC charging speeds (often above 7.4kW) typically support three-phase charging.
What is the warranty period for this charging cable?
The Cord EV Charging Cable comes with a 3-year warranty.
Is the 15-meter length suitable for all charging scenarios?
The 15-meter length provides excellent reach for many situations, but it might be more cable than needed for very close charging points, potentially making storage slightly more cumbersome.
What safety features are built into this cable?
The cable includes built-in protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and short circuits, ensuring safe charging operations.
Can I leave this cable permanently installed outdoors?
With its IP65 waterproofing and IK10 impact resistance, the cable is designed for outdoor use. However, for longevity, it's advisable to store it indoors when not in use and protect connectors from excessive moisture and dirt.
Troubleshooting
Cable not charging the vehicle.
Verify the vehicle is compatible with Type 2 and three-phase charging. Ensure the power source is live (380V, 32A, 3-phase). Check that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage.
Slow charging speed.
Confirm that your vehicle supports three-phase charging and is capable of accepting speeds up to 22kW. Ensure the power supply is providing the full 380V, 32A. Check the vehicle's charging settings; it may be limited by user preference.
Overheating during charging.
Immediately disconnect the cable. Check for any obstructions or damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the power outlet is adequate and not overloaded. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer.
IP65/IK10 protection compromised.
Inspect the cable and connectors for physical damage. Do not use if the protective casing or seals appear breached. Contact the manufacturer for replacement options.
