Type 2 Plug to Type 1 EV Charging Cable

Connect older EVs to modern charging — properly.

Most public and home chargers now use Type 2 connections — but many older EVs still rely on Type 1.

This bridges that gap.

The Viper 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 1 EV Charging Cable allows vehicles with a Type 1 inlet to connect directly to Type 2 charging points. Built using 3x6mm² EV cable, it supports reliable single-phase charging up to 32A (7.4kW) — the maximum charging speed available for Type 1 systems.

Compatible with public charging stations, home chargers, and workplace installations, it ensures older EVs remain fully usable with modern infrastructure.

This is a proper compatibility solution — not a compromise.
