Type 2 EV Charging Cable: Options and Documentation Checks
This guide explains the options stated in EEVA Store’s Type 2 to Type 2 EV charging cable listing and the information to check before choosing a variant.
Certification Documents and Model Coverage
EEVA Store has received documents dated 16 November 2023 for Zhongshan Shenteng New Energy Co., Ltd. ST-T cable families: TÜV Rheinland certificate R 50604337 0001, CB certificate JPTUV-153196, CE conformity certificate AN 50605127 0001 and UK conformity certificate AQ 50605126 0001.
The documents identify several model families, including 32A single-phase ST-T100–199 and 32A three-phase ST-T300–399. Coverage of the exact manufacturer model supplied for each EEVA Store power and length option is still being confirmed. The documents do not establish certification of every product or variant simply because it has a Type 2 connector.
Protection ratings: The supplied CB and TÜV documents specify IP54 when unmated and IP55 when mated for the documented cable families. They do not substantiate an IP67 rating. RCM compliance and the previously listed UL94-V0 flame rating are not substantiated by these four documents.
The CE and UK certificates concern sample conformity and include conditions for use of the respective markings; they are not unconditional approval for every market. Current issuer status, exact variant coverage and any additional Australian requirements must be confirmed separately. Contact support@eevastore.com.au before purchase if you require a confirmed model-specific rating or document.
7kW and 22kW Options Listed by EEVA
| Listed option | Listed current and phase | Listed lengths |
|---|---|---|
| 7kW | 32A single-phase | 5m, 7m and 10m |
| 22kW | 32A three-phase | 5m, 7m and 10m |
These are the specifications stated in the listing. They are not a guarantee of the charging power available from your vehicle or charging point. Actual charging power depends on the compatible vehicle, charging equipment, cable and available supply.
Check the Vehicle and Charging Point
Check the vehicle and charging-equipment instructions for the required connector, cable rating, current and phase. A matching Type 2 connector alone does not establish compatibility with every vehicle or charging point.
Check whether the charging point requires a separate cable or already has a fixed cable. If you are unsure which cable is required, obtain confirmation for the exact vehicle, charging point and cable variant before ordering.
Length, Materials and Included Items
The listing offers 5m, 7m and 10m lengths and describes a TPU sheath, a nylon/glass-fibre housing, dust caps and a carry bag. These are listed product details. They do not independently establish test performance or suitability for a particular operating environment.
Check the selected variant, required reach and manufacturer’s installation and use instructions. Do not infer permission for outdoor exposure, immersion or another use condition from a marketing image or an unverified rating.
Questions to Resolve Before Purchase
- Which exact cable model and variant will be supplied?
- Does it meet the requirements stated by the vehicle and charging-equipment manufacturers?
- What supporting certificates and test reports are available, and do they identify that exact model and variant?
- What operating conditions and restrictions are specified in the manufacturer’s instructions?
Contact support@eevastore.com.au for the current documentation status. The supplied documents have been reviewed for their stated scope; exact variant coverage and current issuer status remain to be confirmed. This guide makes no broader certification or compliance assurance.
