Whether a cable can be used at a public charging station depends on the compatibility between the cable type and the station’s connector standards. Some public AC charging stations require you to bring your own cable, usually with a Type 2 plug. If your cable matches the station's socket and your EV’s inlet, then yes—you can use it.
Yes, Many EV charging cables come with waterproof features, making them suitable and safe for use in outdoor environments. Workersbee charging cables, for example, feature high IP ratings (up to IP55), meaning they’re protected against rain, dust, and even low-pressure water jets. This makes them ideal for use in driveways, parking lots, or any outdoor environment. Always check the specific IP rating before using a charger outdoors.
Single-phase charging cables deliver power through one live wire and are common for home use, typically offering slower charging speeds (up to 7.4 kW).
Three-phase charging cables use three live wires to provide higher power output—up to 22 kW—making them ideal for faster charging at commercial or industrial locations.
Choosing between them depends on your local power supply and how quickly you need to charge your EV.
To check if a charging cable is compatible with your EV, start by confirming your vehicle’s charging port type—most EVs use either Type 1 (SAE J1772) or Type 2 (IEC 62196) connectors. Then, match it with the plug type on the charging cable. You should also check the voltage and amperage requirements to ensure safe charging.
Use Instruction:
The Type 2 end of this cable must always be plugged directly into a charge point socket, this can not be used as an extension or an adaptor to a tethered lead.
How to start charging ?
1. Firmly insert the Type 2 male plug into the outlet socket on the AC EVSE.
2. Insert the Type 1 female plug into the inlet socket on the electric vehicle.
3. Lock your electric vehicle and the AC EVSE will charge the vehicle.
How to stop charging ?
1. Unplug the Type 2 male plug from the EVSE outlet to disconnect power.
2. Disconnect the Type 1 female plug from the vehicle inlet.
3. Put the EV charging cable away.
