It Is A common Question In The Zero-Emission Electric Vehicle (EV) Sector: Which EV Charging Cable Should I Buy?

---

Yes it is true that Europe, in particular, in western Europe is ahead of India, in regards to zero-emission electric driving. However, India shows promise, with a number of local and international automotive manufacturers already catering to the electric vehicle (EV) market in India. Tata Motors, Hyundai Motor Company and MG Motor UK Limited are good examples of OEMs keen to cement leadership early in the Indian EV market.

Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) like the all-electric Hyundai Kona SUV, the all-electric Tata Nexon and the all-electric MG ZS EV are already available in India.

Elon Musk, the co-founder of US based Tesla Motors has already announced his intentions to introduce the best-selling range of Tesla electric cars in India.

In general, there are two types of EV charging cables: type 2 to type 2 and type 1 to type 2. The majority of the recent introductions of plug-in electric cars use a type 2 to type 2 EV charging cable, while a handful, mostly older EVs use a type 1 to type 2 electric car charging cable.

An electric car charging cable has two connectors at either end of the cable. Very similar to an iPhone charging cable. One connector is ‘plugged’ into an electric car charge point socket, while the other end is connected to the e-car.

In the majority of cases, home EV charge points and public electric car charging points are ‘socket only’ and will accept a type 2 connector. However, some EV charge points will have a ‘tethered’ cable i.e. a cable already attached to the EV charger.

As we progress with the development of the electric driving market in India, with the introduction of new pure electric cars, expect a further shift to the use of only type 2 EV charging cables, with type 1 eventually being made redundant.
