This connector is primarily used in North America and some other regions.

A Type 1 charging cable has a connector at one end with a specific shape and number of pins that match the Type 1 connector on the vehicle. At the other end, the cable can have a different connector, such as a Type 2 connector, which is inserted into the charging point.

Type 1 charging cables are used to charge electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector through charging points with a different connector, such as Type 2. They provide the ability to deliver alternating current (AC) to the vehicle and support different charging speeds, depending on the vehicle's charging capacity and the available charging infrastructure.

It is important to ensure that your vehicle is compatible with a Type 1 charging cable and that the charging point you are using has a connector that matches the Type 1 connector. Refer to your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm which type of connector is suitable for your vehicle and which charging cable you need.
