Electric car charging cables for home and on-the-go use
In our online store, you will find charging cables with Type 2 connectors in various power ratings and lengths, compatible with models such as Tesla Model 3, S, X, Y, VW ID.3, ID.4, Kia EV6, Hyundai IONIQ 5, and Ford Mach-E. With practical storage cases, the cables can be transported safely and always remain organized.
The Green Cell Snap and other solutions available are ideal for home wall chargers, workplace, or public AC charging stations. You can choose from single-phase and three-phase cables with different current ratings to ensure that charging your car is fast, convenient, and safe.
- Type 2 charging cables 5–7 m long, with up to 11 kW power
- Easy-to-use Green Cell Snap cables for multiple brands
- Practical cases, such as the GC PowerCase EV for transporting and storing cables
How to choose a charging cable for your electric car?
The primary consideration when selecting the right cable is the connector type: in Europe, almost all newer electric cars and plug-in hybrids have a Type 2 socket, making the Type 2–Type 2 cable the most common solution for AC charging. It is important that the cable's connector and power match the vehicle's built-in onboard charger and the specifications of the charging station you intend to use.
The power is determined by the current (A), the number of phases, and the network voltage. A 3.6 kW, 16 A, single-phase cable (such as the 5 m Type 2 EV13) provides slower but gentler charging with less network load. Three-phase, 11 kW solutions, like the Green Cell Snap Type 2 5 m (EVKABGC03) or 7 m (EVKABGC04) cables, allow for significantly faster charging for compatible vehicles.
The length of the cable is also essential: the 5-meter versions are perfect for use in garages next to wall chargers, while the 7-meter cables offer greater flexibility if the distance between the car's parking spot and the charging station varies. However, the longer the cable, the heavier and more space-consuming it becomes, so it is advisable to choose a compromise that suits your needs.
- Power: from 3.6 kW to 11 kW – according to the limits of the onboard charger and the network
- Current: typically 16 A – for safe, standard AC charging
- Number of phases: 1 or 3 phases – affects charging time and usable power
- Length: 5–7 m – should be chosen based on parking habits and the location of the charger
Accessories like the GC PowerCase EV case (CSGC02) not only help keep things organized but also provide protection for the cable insulation and connectors during transport. They are particularly useful for those who frequently charge their cars at public charging points and regularly carry the cable with them.
Before purchasing, it is advisable to check the recommendations from your vehicle's manufacturer and consider how often, where, and at what power level you would like to charge your car. The right charging cable increases charging efficiency, extends the lifespan of the devices, and contributes to safe, reliable electric driving.
