CEE to Type 2 charging solutions
Charging via a CEE socket is a practical solution when a fixed wallbox is not available. This page brings together Voldt® solutions for CEE to Type 2, developed for mobile and temporary charging of electric vehicles. It is particularly relevant at campsites, in industrial environments, on construction sites, or in other locations where power outlets already exist but no permanent charging installation is in place.
With a CEE to Type 2 charging cable, an electric vehicle can be charged directly from a CEE outlet without the need for a permanently installed wallbox. This makes the solution suitable as an alternative to a wallbox, both for temporary use and as a backup. Voldt® focuses on safe power transmission, correct load management, and stable operation, even under changing conditions. If you need CEE power for electric vehicles in a flexible and controlled way, this category is designed to help you choose the right solution.
What is a CEE plug?
A CEE plug is an industrial connector used for higher current levels than standard household sockets. In Denmark, CEE outlets are commonly used at campsites, in workshops, in agriculture, and in industrial environments where a stable and continuous power supply is required.
When charging an electric vehicle, a CEE plug for EVs acts as the power source for a mobile charging solution. With a CEE adapter for electric vehicles or a CEE charging cable, power can be safely transferred from the CEE outlet to the vehicle’s Type 2 inlet. This solution is particularly relevant in situations where installing a fixed wallbox is not possible or where charging is only temporary.
CEE charging is not typically used as a standard solution in private homes, but it is a well-known and proven alternative in environments where industrial sockets are already available.
Red CEE vs blue CEE – what is the difference?
There are two types of CEE connectors typically used for electric vehicle charging: blue and red.
Blue CEE plugs are often used at campsites and deliver lower power. They are suitable for slower charging and temporary use. Red CEE plugs are used in industrial settings and can deliver higher power, making them more suitable for faster charging.
A red CEE to Type 2 adapter is typically used when industrial power is available and more stable charging is required. Blue CEE solutions are more commonly used where power capacity is limited. The choice between red and blue depends on the available installation, the vehicle’s charging requirements, and the desired charging speed.
Both solutions require correct sizing and protection to ensure safe charging without overload.
Who is CEE charging suitable for?
CEE charging is suitable for EV drivers who need flexible charging options without a permanent installation. This includes campers, tradespeople, industrial users, and owners of temporary locations.
A CEE adapter for electric vehicles or a CEE to Type 2 charging cable allows charging wherever industrial sockets are already available. It is also relevant for companies that use industrial sockets for EV charging as part of their daily operations.
CEE solutions are not intended for all charging scenarios, but they are a safe and well-tested alternative when a fixed wallbox is not an option. With the right CEE power solution for electric vehicles, charging can be carried out in a stable and controlled manner, even in demanding environments.
