What is a Type 2 EV/PHEV?

The most common question we are asked by our customers is “What Charging Plug do I need to order?”

The answer to this question depends on whether you have a Type 1 or Type 2 EV/PHEV.

WHY?
Charging leads and portable charging cables have a plug on each end. One end goes to the power source and the other end connects to the car. The plugs must be the right fit for your car.

TYPE 2 EVS / PHEVS
EVs/PHEVs that are ex-UK or NZ new have a Type 2 port and are classified as Type 2 cars. Some makes and models may be both – it depends where they came from.

Simply take a look under the flap and you will see a ‘D-shaped’ plug. This is a Type 2 plug/port/connector.
