Charge A Type 1 Socket Renault EV With A Home Wall Box Or Public Charging Point
If your Renault EV has a Type 1 socket, then the Type 1 to Type 2 charging cable will provide the vehicle with the maximum current that it can accept. You can connect the cable to any Type 2 socket charging point such as a wall charger or a public charging point. Commonly known as the Type 1 to Type 2 cable.
It does not matter if the Type 2 socket charging point is 3 Phase or 1 Phase because the charging point will work out how much current your vehicle will accept and how much current the cable can handle. This Type 2 charging cable can therefore be used with ALL Type 2 charging points with an open socket.
This cable is not an extension cable. You will therefore not be able to use it to connect the Type 2 male plug to the Type 2 female plug of an EV cable or charger. It is therefore not suitable for charging points with a lead already attached. You can only insert the plug directly into the socket of a Type 2 charging point.
Choosing The Right Charging Cable
Is This Charging Cable Suitable For The Renault EV?
The Renault EV that has a Type 1 socket is the Renault Kangoo manufactured up to 2012.
Our cables can be used with any AC (Alternating Current) charging point. This includes wall chargers and the free charging points that you will find at supermarkets and retail parks, for example.
Please note that Renault did not manufacture this cable.
Vehicle Compatibility
Our 32A Type 1 to Type 2 cables conform to the IEC J1772 standard, which means that they are compatible with a Type 2 charging point and the Type 1 socket of the Renault EV.
The cable is capable of carrying up to 7.4kW current. However, the cable will only provide up to the maximum charging capacity of the Renault EV.
Some Type 1 socket vehicles will also have a CHAdeMO charging socket. You do not need to buy a cable to use this socket as all charging points that support CHAdeMO will already have a cable attached to it.
Choice Of Cable Bags
We provide a free canvas cable bag (suitable for cables up to 10M) to store this charger when not in use. You can also upgrade the bag to a cable case made from EVA material for enhanced waterproofing and impact protection. The EVA case has an elasticated strap in the bottom compartment and elasticated mesh pocket in the top. So it allows convenient storage of two cables. The EVA case can therefore carry 2 cables if each cable does not exceed 10 metres length (20M total length).
