FAQ
Extension Cable *1
EV Charging Cables and EV Charging Extension Cables serve different purposes and are designed differently, leading to important differences:
① Function and Purpose:
- EV Charging Cable:
Connects directly between the charging station and the electric vehicle (EV). It’s specifically built for efficient power transfer and precise communication between charger and car. - EV Charging Extension Cable:
Extends the length of an existing EV Charging Cable, offering flexibility when the standard cable length isn't enough.
② Compatibility and Safety:
Smart Chip Differences:
- EV Charging Cable:
Has a built-in proprietary communication chip (like a "translator") designed for specific charging protocols (e.g. Tesla NACS or SAE J1772). - EV Charging Extension Cable:
Uses a different type of chip (similar to translating a "foreign language"), which can result in:
Communication Errors: Chargers may fail to recognize the cable, stopping the charging process.
Potential Damage: Forced or incorrect connections might damage the charging ports on your vehicle.
③ Connector Design Differences:
- EV Charging Cable Port:
Standard length (~8 cm) connector suitable for direct charging station connections. - EV Charging Extension Cable Port:
Longer connector (~10.5 cm) with special features:
Dual Locking Mechanism: Provides extra grip and prevents accidental disconnection.
Guiding Bevel: Designed to avoid entanglement with other cables.
So, they cannot be used interchangeably.
Yes. The vehicle automatically locks the charging connector after the car is locked.
It comes with a 2-year warranty.
