32A 250V 7KW Type 2 EV Charging Inlet

Type2 32A Charging Point In Car 7KW

Nearly all electric vehicles sold in Europe come with a Type 2 IEC 62196 charging point (or called charging inlet socket). This Type 2 charging socket is built with seven terminals and is compatible with both single-phase and three-phase AC charging.

The Seven Terminals of the Type 2 IEC 62196 Socket:
- L1, L2, L3: These correspond to the three phases in a three-phase power system (Phase A, B, and C). In this system, L1, L2, and L3 supply power together. For single-phase charging, only L1 is utilized.
- N: The neutral line (N) is part of the AC circuit, connecting one side of the power source to form a closed loop for current flow.
- PE*: This is the protective earth, ensuring electrical safety.
- PP and CP: These are signal communication terminals between the EV and the charging station, controlling and managing the charging current.

Can Type 2 Charging Point Be Used for BEV and HPEV?
Yes, Type 2 charging points can be used for both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Plug-in Electric Vehicles (HPEVs). BEVs rely solely on electric motors and batteries, while HPEVs use a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor. Both can be charged externally and are compatible with the Type 2 socket, allowing them to run with zero emissions when using the electric motor.
