Electric Vehicle Charging Explained

Charging points at service stations and car parks will either be tethered or untethered and it’s important to know which is which.

Tethered Charging Points

These charging points have their charge cables permanently attached, which makes them more convenient to use, as you don’t have to bring your own cables along.

Untethered

Untethered charging points require the EV owner to supply their own charge cables. EV cables connect the charging station and electric vehicle, completing the circuit to allow for charging.

Charging the Battery

Once the battery is full, or enough charge is obtained, the cable can be disconnected, and the vehicle is ready to go. The charging cables for electric vehicles come with either a Type 1 or Type 2 plug on one end, designed to match the connection point of the electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid.

Type 1

Across Australia and New Zealand, the standard plug type for electric vehicle charging stations is Type 1, and it is commonly used by manufacturers from the USA, Japanese brands, and some European car makers.

Electric vehicles that utilise this plug type in Australia and New Zealand include the Holden Volt, Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, BMW i3, BMW i8, and Porsche.

Type 2

In Australia and New Zealand, the Type 2 connector is utilised for charging electric vehicles produced in Europe and by Tesla Motors. This 7-pin connector is extensively used in Europe and is mandated by the European Union.

It is capable of charging electric vehicles with a power output of up to 70 kilowatts. 180° PHASE 3 270⁰ Time 360° electric vehicles are designed to only accept single-phase charging, such as those with a Type 1 charging connection.

Different Phases of EV Cables

In addition to different plug types, EV cables also vary in amperage and phases. Single-phase electricity at 7kW is standard in domestic homes, while three-phase power at 22kW is used in commercial buildings.

Three-phase cables have three wires and can carry more electricity over a shorter time, making them three times faster for charging an EV.

Some electric vehicles are designed to only accept single-phase charging, such as those with a Type 1 charging connection. The maximum charging speed of electric cars varies, so it is important to check the vehicle’s highest possible charging speed capacity before purchasing a three-phase charging cable.

The range includes the EVC2KW 2.4KW EV Emergency Charger, making charging electric vehicles easier while away by simply plugging into a regular mains socket found in the home or garage.
