As electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate worldwide, reliable and standardized charging infrastructure has become essential for the growth of electric mobility. Among various charging standards, the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector has become the preferred solution for AC charging, especially across Europe and many international markets.
Known for its excellent compatibility, safety performance, and flexibility, the Type 2 connector is widely used in residential chargers, commercial charging stations, and OEM charging equipment.
To support the growing needs of the EV industry, NexwayEV provides a complete range of Type 2 AC charging connectors and sockets, designed for applications from home charging to public charging infrastructure. Supporting charging power from 7.4 kW single-phase to 22 kW three-phase, NexwayEV solutions deliver reliable performance while meeting global EV charging requirements.
One of the biggest advantages of the Type 2 connector is its versatility.
The IEC 62196 Type 2 design supports both single-phase and three-phase AC charging, with current ratings typically ranging from 16 A to 32 A. This allows the same connector standard to meet different charging needs, from residential EV charging at 7.4 kW to commercial charging applications up to 22 kW.
Because of its wide adoption, Type 2 provides a universal charging solution compatible with a large number of passenger electric vehicles. This helps simplify infrastructure deployment and reduces the need for different connector systems across regions.
Safety is a key reason why Type 2 has become the preferred AC charging standard.
The connector integrates Control Pilot (CP) and Proximity Pilot (PP) communication functions, allowing the vehicle and charging equipment to exchange signals before power delivery begins. This ensures that charging only starts after a secure connection is confirmed.
In addition, Type 2 connectors are designed according to strict requirements for electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and environmental protection, ensuring reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor environments.
A unified charging standard brings significant benefits to charging operators and equipment manufacturers.
With Type 2 widely used across Europe and other markets, charging providers can develop and deploy compatible solutions without managing multiple connector designs. This helps reduce installation complexity, simplify maintenance, and improve the efficiency of charging network expansion.
Built around the proven IEC 62196 Type 2 standard, NexwayEV offers reliable AC charging connectors and sockets for EV chargers, wallboxes, charging stations, and OEM applications.
Designed with durability, safety, and user convenience in mind, NexwayEV Type 2 solutions provide stable charging performance for modern electric vehicles.

Whether used in private garages, workplaces, commercial parking areas, or public charging stations, NexwayEV Type 2 connectors provide a dependable charging experience.
A reliable EV charging connector is more than a simple plug. It combines electrical performance, mechanical durability, and intelligent communication to ensure safe and efficient charging.
EV connectors are frequently exposed to outdoor environments, including temperature changes, moisture, dust, and repeated mechanical stress.
NexwayEV uses high-quality materials and robust structural designs to improve heat resistance, wear resistance, and durability. The connectors are built to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging while maintaining stable electrical contact.
During EV charging, connectors must safely handle high current while preventing abnormal conditions.
NexwayEV charging solutions are designed with multiple safety considerations, including:
· Overcurrent protection
· Overvoltage protection
· Temperature monitoring
· Leakage protection
· Short-circuit protection
These features help provide a safer charging experience for residential, commercial, and travel applications.
Modern EV charging requires continuous communication between the vehicle and charging equipment.
Through CP communication technology, NexwayEV charging solutions can monitor connection status, manage charging conditions, and improve overall charging safety and efficiency.
As global EV adoption continues to grow, the demand for reliable charging solutions will keep increasing. NexwayEV is committed to providing high-performance charging connectors and EV charging products that combine advanced technology, reliable quality, and practical design.
From home charging to commercial infrastructure, NexwayEV helps customers build safer, smarter, and more efficient EV charging networks worldwide.
