SINGLE-PHASE CABLE FOR ELECTRIC CAR DUOSIDA TYPE 2 7.4 KW
Which charging stations can I charge from with this cable?
Duosida cables (T2A32B), marked “Type 2 to Type 2” (IEC-62196), which are available at EVPoint, are suitable for charging stations with a Type 2 socket. This means that with this cable you can charge your electric car or plug-in hybrid at almost all public charging stations in Europe with a power of up to 7.4 kW!
What is the optimal length of the charging cable?
If you are using the charging cable in a specific location, such as at home or at work, it is important to choose the cable length carefully. It is usually between 4 and 6 meters. If the cable is mainly used when you are on the road (public charging stations) or in different locations (where other vehicles may be parked between the charging station and your vehicle), we recommend choosing a longer length.
What is the weight of the charging cables?
The weight of the charging cable can be calculated by adding half a kilogram per meter and one kilogram for both connectors. An 8-meter charging cable weighs about 5 kilograms. The exact weight can still be found in the technical parameters of the product.
How fast can this cable charge?
An electric car can travel an average of about 5.5 km with 1 kWh of stored energy in the battery.
The maximum current for this charging cable is 32A with a maximum of 1 phase (240 V). If this cable is connected to a charging station that supplies single phase with 32A, then this cable can deliver approximately 7.4 kW of continuous power.
So, if the car is charged at the maximum 7.4 kW, this means that it can charge 7.4 kWh (kilowatt-hours) in one hour, which roughly corresponds to a range of 40 km (5.5 km x 7.4 kWh).
With this, the maximum charging speed of the cable is 40 km/h (when connected to a charger that can provide single-phase charging with 32A).
Please note that the actual charging speed also depends on the charging speed of the car's on-board charger.
The Duosida charging cable has two type 2 male and female connectors - IEC62196-2 standard.
