FAQ
Q1: Which electric vehicles is this Type 2 to GB/T EV Charging Cable compatible with?
A: This charging cable is compatible with all Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that utilize the Chinese national GB/T standard for AC charging. This includes most electric vehicles produced by Chinese manufacturers for the domestic market.
Q2: In which regions or countries is this Type 2 to GB/T EV Charging cable primarily used?
A: This Type 2 to GB/T Charging Cable is designed for use anywhere Type 2 socket-based AC chargers are installed, primarily across Europe, the UK, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. It allows GB/T vehicles to charge in these regions.
Q3: How do I choose between 16A and 32A specifications?
A: The 32A Type 2 to GB/T Cable is recommended for broader compatibility and faster charging, as it supports higher power levels common at public and commercial stations. The 16A version is suitable for basic residential charging where lower power is sufficient.
Q4: Can this Type 2 to GB/T EV Charging cable be used for DC fast charging?
A: No. This product is strictly an AC EV Charging Cable. It is not designed or rated for DC fast charging, which requires entirely different connectors, cables, and communication protocols (like the GB/T DC standard).
Q5: Is any special setup or software required to use this Type 2 to GB/T EV Charging adapter cable?
A: No special setup is needed. It is a passive, plug-and-play device. Simply connect it properly between a Type 2 charger and your GB/T vehicle, and the existing charging protocols will manage the session automatically and safely.
