Choosing the right charging cable for an electric car or plug-in hybrid can be a challenge given the many technical specifications. Charging power, cable length, and safety features are crucial factors that significantly impact the daily charging experience. This guide serves to explain the essential criteria and help you make an informed decision for a reliable Type 2 charging cable.
To find the right cable for your vehicle and needs, three main aspects should be considered: charging power, length, and safety standards.
The charging power of a cable is specified in kilowatts (kW) and should be matched to the maximum charging capacity of your vehicle's On-Board Charger (OBC).
The length of the charging cable significantly affects flexibility in everyday use.
A high-quality Type 2 EV charging cable must be safe and robust. Look for the following features:
Based on the quality and safety features mentioned, here is a selection of GONEO Type 2 charging cables.
Why it stands out This cable combines a high charging power of 22kW with a practical length of 7 metres. The construction is designed for durability and safety, confirmed by its T?V Rheinland certification. Features like ultrasonically welded, silver-plated contacts aim for optimised conductivity and reduced heat generation.
Advantages
Who is it for? For drivers of pure electric vehicles (BEVs) with a 22 kW on-board charger who are looking for a versatile and robust cable for home and public charging stations.
Why it stands out This version offers the same high build quality and safety certification as the 22 kW model but is designed for a charging power of 11kW. With a length of 7 metres, it is flexible to use and perfectly matches the common 11 kW wallboxes and vehicles in Germany.
Advantages
Who is it for? Ideal for owners of electric cars or plug-in hybrids whose vehicle supports a charging power of up to 11 kW. It is an economical and perfectly sufficient choice for charging at home and at most public AC charging points.
Why it stands out This model offers maximum flexibility with a length of 10 metres combined with the full 22kW charging power. It retains all the safety and quality features of the GONEO series, including T?V certification and robust construction.
Advantages
Who is it for? For EV drivers who frequently charge at public stations with unpredictable parking conditions or need to bridge a long distance between their wallbox and vehicle at home.
Once your vehicle is equipped for any charging scenario, you might want to upgrade your leisure accessories as well. For summer activities, we offer a selection of innovative gadgets.

The main difference lies in the maximum transferable charging power. An 11kW charging cable (16 Amp, 3-phase) is the standard for many private wallboxes. A 22kW charging cable (32 Amp, 3-phase) can transfer double the power, provided the vehicle and charging station support it. However, this only halves the charging time if the car can also charge at 22 kW.
Yes, that's perfectly fine. The charging system (vehicle and wallbox) communicates and automatically regulates the charging power down to the lowest common denominator. In this case, it would charge at 11 kW. A 22 kW cable is therefore backward compatible and a future-proof investment.
A certification from an independent testing organisation like T?V is an important quality mark. It confirms that the T?V-certified charging cable meets the strict European safety standards for electrical safety, materials, and mechanical stress. This minimises risks such as overheating or electric shocks and ensures reliable operation.
