The Kentures Type 2 to J1772 (Type 1) 5-meter Charging Cable is the definitive solution for drivers of North American or Japanese-standard electric vehicles who need to access standard UK and European charging infrastructure. As a bridge between two major international standards, this cable allows vehicles with a Type 1 inlet to safely and efficiently draw power from Type 2 Wallboxes and public charging pedestals.
High-Performance Single-Phase Charging
This cable is engineered to support single-phase charging up to 7.4kW (32A at 230V). While highly compatible with standard 3.6kW home setups, the 7.4kW capacity ensures that you are utilizing the maximum charging speed available for your Type 1 vehicle. This translates to approximately 25-30 miles of range per hour of charge, depending on your vehicle’s onboard charger efficiency.
Technical Specifications & Protection Standards
Following the recommendations for technical transparency, here are the key performance metrics for this unit:
- Connector Standards: IEC 62196 (Type 2) to SAE J1772 (Type 1/J-Plug).
- Power Rating: Optimized for up to 7kW Single-Phase performance.
- Protection Grade: IP44 rated (Splash-proof), ensuring safe operation in typical UK weather conditions, including rain and damp environments.
- Operational Range: Maintains full performance in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +50°C.
- Safety Certifications: Fully CE, RoHS, and IEC compliant.
Durability and Handling
Constructed from high-grade, flexible rubber, the 5-meter lead is designed to resist tangling and kinking, even in cold temperatures. The ergonomic connector heads are built to withstand high-cycle usage, with silver-plated terminals that minimize heat buildup and maximize electrical conductivity over thousands of plug-in cycles.
Broad Vehicle Compatibility
This cable is an essential accessory for owners of vehicles that traditionally utilize the J1772 standard, including:
-
Older Nissan Leaf models (Gen 1)
-
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
-
Kia Soul EV (Older models)
-
Various North American imports (Ford Focus Electric, Chevrolet Volt)
-
Many early-model Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
