TERMINOLOGY - DO I NEED A TYPE 1 OR TYPE 2 CABLE?

Many people get confused about product names and what to buy.

EV Charging cables

For example our EV Power Type 1 Premium Charging Cable, 8 Amp will fit a Type 1 car.

EV Charging leads

The Type of power source is listed first and the Type of vehicle is listed second.

For example our EV Power Type 2 To Type 1 Lead 5m (Blue GS) will allow a Type 1 car to charge at a power source with a Type 2 socket, commonly found in public charging stations near shops and businesses.

IS MY EV/PHEV A TYPE 1 OR TYPE 2?

EVs/PHEVs in New Zealand are either a Type 1 (ex-Japan) or Type 2 (ex-UK/NZ new). Each type has a different shaped charging port. If you buy the wrong charging cable it simply won't fit.

If you don't know which Type EV/PHEV you have then compare your car's charging port to the picture below. If your charging port is the shape of a 'D' lying on its side then your car is a Type 2. If you are unsure then get in touch Monday - Friday Phone 03 365 2666 freephone (0508 6362 8346)
