This charging standard has been developed to enable safe and standardized charging.
A Mode 3 charging cable is usually equipped with a Type 2 connector on one end, which is inserted into the charging point, and a connector that matches the vehicle's socket on the other end. These cables are used for AC (alternating current) charging and support various charging speeds, depending on the vehicle's charging capacity and the available charging infrastructure.
What distinguishes a Mode 3 charging cable is the communication between the vehicle and the charging point. The cable contains additional wires that allow the vehicle and the charging point to communicate and exchange important information, such as charging capacity, charging status, and safety checks.
The Mode 3 charging cables are designed according to international standards to ensure safe and reliable charging. They are suitable for use at public charging points, business buildings, and homes where a Type 2 connection is available.
It is important to ensure that your vehicle is compatible with a Mode 3 charging cable and that the charging point you use has a Type 2 connection. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm which type of connection is suitable for your vehicle and which charging cable you need.
