Type 2 EV Cables

[steing]

Hi,

Are there any recommendations for a particular Type2 cable (3Phase) brand or are they all much of a muchness?

It will be used daily in Public 22kw charger at work in all weathers.

Online, the below seem to be ok?

Any recommendations or quality issues to choose one brand over the other?

Thanks

I haven’t compared others but I bought one of these in 15m and it seems much heavier duty than the oem cable.

If you have a Tesla. buy the Mekcennes (sure thats spelt wrong) type 2 cable from them - it's not badly priced last time I checked,, 7M long and does 32A 3 phase which covers all bases. Its pretty bullet proof - but I believe Tesla will only sell you one if you have a Tesla

After that I suspect you pretty much pay for what you get.

Thats not a type 2 cable, its a type 2 charger and doesn't support 22kw

Very sturdy and solid cable.
7.5m and 240 EUR . From what I've seen a bit the gold standard for a cable, but it's a lot of money... for a simple cable.

PS: Like with their wallbox, it seems like a very reasonable price for a cable of that specification. Cheapest I could find at that length anywhere else was 270 EUR.

I have a 10m 7.2Kw cable from evonestopshop. It seems well made and works as expected. Quick delivery and reasonable choice. My installer recommended them as a source for cables
