Type 2 - schuko | Adjustable 8A - 16A | 3,7kW charging cable

Yes, a mobile EV charging cable can provide delayed charging via a CEE power or normal socket. Our charger has a delayed charging function that you can easily set to start charging after a certain amount of time. Turn on the charger, plug in the vehicle and then press and hold the setting button for 3 seconds to activate the delayed charging mode. Each time you press and hold the button for 3 seconds, the delay time is extended by one hour, up to a maximum delay of 10 hours. After you set the desired delay time, the countdown begins and charging starts automatically once the set time has elapsed.

Yes, you can charge your electric car at home without a dedicated charging station by using a Mode 2 charging cable. This cable plugs into a standard household socket and includes an in-cable control and protection system (ICCB) that provides extra security during charging. Although Mode 2 charging is safer and more efficient than simply charging via a standard socket without any security, it is still slower than charging with a dedicated charging station. For regular use, installing a home charging station (Mode 3) is recommended, but for occasional charging, Mode 2 offers a practical and secure solution.

While it is technically possible to extend mobile EV charging cables that plug into a normal wall socket, this is strongly discouraged for safety reasons. Extension cables can pose an increased risk of overheating and fire if they are not suitable for the high currents needed to charge an EV. If you do decide to use an extension cable, make sure you choose a high-quality extension cable, preferably with a high IP (water and dust proof) certification. This ensures better protection against environmental factors and reduces the likelihood of electrical interference, thus maximising the safety and reliability of the charging process.

Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4 are different methods of charging electric vehicles (EVs), each with specific features and applications. Mode 1 charging involves using a standard household socket without additional communication or safety features, which is the least safe and therefore rarely recommended. Mode 2 charging uses a standard socket but incorporates an in-cable control and protection system (ICCB) that provides additional safety. Mode 3 charging is via dedicated charging stations that communicate with the vehicle to regulate the current and ensure maximum safety, mostly used at public and home charging stations. Mode 4 charging is fast charging via direct current (DC) and requires dedicated charging stations that directly feed the vehicle's battery, which is much faster than the other modes and usually found along motorways or at commercial charging points.
