Accessories for charging electric cars, or how to make a good choice
Charging your electric vehicle requires proper infrastructure and accessories that will provide you comfort and safety of use. Which charging cable should you choose? Does a home electric car charger make sense? Is carrying an adapter a good idea? Here is an overview of the most important accessories that will answer these and other questions, helping you make a good decision!
Electric car charging cable
There are several types of charging cables for electric cars, which differ in standard and purpose.
- Type 1 – popular in North America and used in older electric car models. Equipped with a five-pin connector.
- Type 2, the European standard, used in most new EVs. It is equipped with a seven-pin connector, which allows for faster charging.
- CHAdeMO – mainly used in Asian cars such as the Nissan Leaf, allows fast direct current (DC) charging.
- CCS (Combined Charging System) – popular in Europe and the USA, combines AC and DC charging and is compatible with Type 2 sockets.
Charging cables are available in different lengths: from 0.5 up to even 10 meters. Longer cables can be more convenient if the outlet is far from the vehicle, but harder to store. At the same time, when we talk about storage, it is worth remembering to always keep them in a dry and clean place, preferably on a hanger or in a holder. Additionally, avoid dragging cables over sharp edges and regularly clean the connectors to ensure their optimal performance.
Charging station adapter for those who are always ready
What happens if the electric vehicle charging station does not support your car’s plug… or if the only available charger has a connection that doesn’t fit your car… That’s when the adapter comes to the rescue and you can calmly charge your battery! When traveling with an electric car, you will encounter different charging stations, so it’s always worth being prepared for any situation.
Mobile charger – charge energy anytime and anywhere
Portable (mobile) electric vehicle chargers are compact in size and ideal for people who travel frequently or do not have a fixed charging spot. It is important that such a charger has sufficient power (usually 3.6 kW to 7.4 kW) to ensure efficient charging. It is also worth making sure that the chosen model is compatible with the electrical outlets and charging standards used in the area. Don’t forget to choose chargers that have built-in protection features, such as overvoltage, overheating, and short-circuit protection.
Home electric car charger – time for a home wall charger
Every owner knows how expensive charging an electric car at a public station can be... That is why home wallbox chargers are a great choice – they offer economical, convenient, and fast energy replenishment. Usually, their charging power ranges from 3.6 kW to 22 kW, allowing a full charge of the vehicle in just a few hours. Most are equipped with Type 2 connectors, but other standards are also available. Many modern charging stations offer smart charging features such as energy consumption monitoring, remote control, and integration with home energy management.
For those who love order – cable management systems
Efficient management of electric vehicle charging cables is important for maintaining order and extending their lifespan. Cable protective bags allow convenient storage after charging, helping to keep things tidy and protecting the wires from damage. Hooks are a simple and economical solution for hanging cables on the wall, providing easy access and organization. Special holders and stands protect plugs from dust and mechanical damage.
