Charging cables for Electric car
The charging cable serves as a charger for the electric car. This part ensures that
you can charge the electric car on the road or at home at the charging station.
With such a cable you do not have to refuel, but you plug in at a charging
station. These charging stations can now be found at most gas stations, but are
also placed on people's sidewalks and in parking lots. This way you can always
charge the electric car somewhere nearby. If your charging cable breaks, it is
important to purchase a new one. Without this cable you simply can no longer
charge the car battery.
Car charging cable broken
Is the charging cable of your car
broken? Unfortunately, a charging cable can break over time due to age or
because a cable break or other defect has occurred. When the charging cable is
broken, the car battery can no longer be charged, which is of course very annoying.
Before buying a new charging cable, it is important to make sure that the cable
is defective. Therefore, first check whether there is still enough money on the
charge card and whether your charge card is suitable for the relevant charging
station. Is the cable still not working? Here are some things you can check the
charging cable for to determine what the problem is:
Check
that there is no dirt in the connector (the contact point).
Check for
damage to the connector.
Check the
cable for a broken cable.
Check the
housing of the plug.
Is there
indeed damage? Then the best option is often to replace the entire charging
cable with a new variant.
Car charging cable repair
In some cases it is possible to
repair the charging cable of the car. This is only possible if the plug has not
been molded on. This means that it is not screwed, but attached to the cable.
Some cables contain a screw-on plug, which you could replace. In most cases,
however, it is recommended to replace the cable in its entirety so that you are
not faced with any surprises along the way.
Which charging cable do I need?
There are different types of
charging cables for the car. Some cars have a type 1 charging cable and other
cars use a type 2 charging cable. These types indicate the difference between
the two different types of plugs for the car side. A type 1 connection can
often be recognized by 3 points to which the so-called cores are connected. A
type 2 plug often has around 5 wires. Most electric cars are equipped with a
type 2 plug. Do you have any doubts about this? Then look in the manual of the
car.
In addition
to the type of plug, you can also choose from different cable lengths. If you
often charge the car at home or at a fixed point, you probably know how far the
charging station will be from the car. You can then opt for a shorter cable of,
for example, 2 meters. Do you often charge the car in different places? Then
choose a longer cable so that you can be sure that you can always reach the
charging station. At Winparts you will find cables of 8 meters, so you always
have enough room to move.
