This connection is mainly used in North America and some other regions.

A Type 1 charging cable has a connector with a specific shape and number of pins at one end that matches the Type 1 connection on the vehicle. The other end of the cable may have a different connector, such as a Type 2 connector, which is plugged into the charging point.

Type 1 charging cables are used to charge electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector via charging points with a different connection, such as Type 2. They provide the ability to supply 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 use has a connection that matches the Type 1 connector. Refer to your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm what type of connector is appropriate for your vehicle and which charging cable you need.
