Type 3 Charging Cables
Type 3 charging cables are quite rare because electric vehicles with this connection are only manufactured in France and Italy. So it doesn't happen very often that you need a type 3 charging cable. If you still need a type 3 charging cable, then Soolutions is the right place for you! If you are not sure which type of charging cable you need, please contact us. In addition, we have implemented a practical search function which you can use to find the right charging solution for your requirements.
The origin of the type 3 charging cable
The type 3 charging cable comes from France and Italy, where it was developed to ensure optimum safety when using the charging cable. The charging cable has a cover that protects the inputs. The idea is that no objects reaches the electrical contacts.
However, it has been found that the charging cable is therefore less easy to use, as you will need to lift the cover first before you can insert the charging cable.
Typ 3 charging cables in Europe
In the meantime, it was found that there is a better solution for the type 3 charging cable with the slider. A so-called Mennekes plug was developed, which guarantees security at the same level and is easy to use.
As a result, the type 3 charging cable stayed only in France and Italy and was not used in other European countries. The Mennekes charging cable became the standard. However, a Mennekes cable is a type 2 charging cable, so it is not suitable for electric cars from France and Italy with a type 3 connector.
Type 3 solutions from Soolutions
The chances are high that there are no type 3 charging stations along the public highway. That is why we offer you a solution with which you can charge anytime, anywhere. We have various accessories that you can use to convert your type 3 charging cable into a type 2 charging cable or a type 1 charging cable. Both types are available in Europe, with type 2 charging cables and the appropriate charging stations being the most common. Soolutions products enable you to always charge at a charging station.
Type 3 charging station
Since electric vehicles are no longer manufactured with a type 3 connection, type 3 charging stations are no longer sold. You can purchase a type 2 or type 1 charging station with the above accessories to make your electric vehicle type 2 or type 1. So you can charge conveniently at home and already have the right solution for your future electric car.
