Type 2 to NACS EV Charging Cable
The essential link for the global NACS transition. Our Type 2 to NACS EV charging cable allows vehicles equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port to utilize Type 2 (Mennekes) universal charging points. Engineered for residential wallboxes and public destination chargers, this cable supports single-phase AC delivery up to 7.4kW. Featuring silver-plated contacts and a rugged, high-flex TPU jacket, it is built for 10,000+ mating cycles in all weather conditions.

Professional Engineering for the NACS Standard
Seamless International Interoperability
As the NACS (North American Charging Standard) becomes the unified interface for electric mobility, owners of NACS-equipped vehicles (Tesla and upcoming Ford, Rivian, and GM models) require a direct-connection solution for regions utilizing Type 2 infrastructure. Our Type 2 to NACS cable eliminates the need for bulky adapters, providing a native, high-conductivity link between the Mennekes outlet and the vehicle’s inlet.
Technical Expertise & Safety Integrity
Reliability in high-power AC charging is a matter of material science. We prioritize safety and longevity through expert engineering:
-
Superior Contact Technology: We utilize silver-plated copper alloy contacts on both ends. Silver offers the lowest contact resistance (≤0.5mΩ), which is critical for preventing terminal heat rise during sustained 32A charging sessions. This ensures the hardware remains significantly cooler than standard nickel-plated alternatives.
-
Industrial-Grade TPU Jacket: Our cables are jacketed in high-performance TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). Unlike standard PVC, TPU remains supple at -30°C, resists UV radiation in outdoor driveways, and is highly resistant to abrasion and automotive chemicals.
-
Intelligent Handshake Protocol: The internal Control Pilot (CP) and Proximity Pilot (PP) wires ensure that the Type 2 station and the NACS vehicle establish a perfect handshake. This enables automatic locking and precise current verification, protecting your vehicle’s sensitive Battery Management System (BMS).
-
Rugged Mechanical Resilience: The connector heads are constructed from high-strength, screwless thermoplastic designed to withstand a 2-ton vehicle drive-over test and survive 1-meter drops onto concrete without performance loss.

🛠️ Selection Guide: 16A vs. 32A
To provide the most Trustworthy solution for your vehicle, consider your charging needs:
-
16A (3.5kW): A lightweight, highly portable option. Ideal for Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) or overnight charging for small-battery EVs.
-
32A (7.4kW): The Future-Proof choice. Even if your current car only takes 16A, a 32A cable ensures you can take full advantage of public 7kW charging stations and faster home wallboxes as your needs evolve.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this at a public Type 2 station with my Tesla?
A: Yes. This is a direct cable that connects your Tesla (or any NACS vehicle) to a universal “untethered” Type 2 charging pillar found in hotels, parking garages, and workplaces.
Q: Does this cable support Tesla Supercharging?
A: No. This is an AC Charging Cable designed for Level 1 and Level 2 charging (Home and Destination charging). It is not compatible with DC Fast Charging or Superchargers.
Q: What is the benefit of a TPU cable over PVC?
A: PVC cables become stiff and hard to coil in cold weather. Our TPU cables remain flexible and easy to handle in freezing temperatures while offering much higher resistance to UV and mechanical wear.
