That leaves owners of a first generation Leaf, an Outlander PHEV or a Kia Soul EV looking at Type 2 equipment that will not physically mate with the car. This adapter bridges that gap for AC charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a short adapter, not a cable. You use it with a charging cable of the same rating or better, and the pair together does the job of a dedicated cable. If you charge at home every day, a full \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-1-to-type-2-charging-cable\"\u003eType 1 to Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e is neater and there is one less connection to worry about.

Most \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-1-charging-cables\"\u003eType 1 cars\u003c\/a\u003e accept far less than that, so the adapter will not be what limits the charge. The car's own onboard charger sets the pace: 3.3 kW and 6.6 kW are the common ratings on Type 1 era vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 24 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 30 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 40 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdapter and cable, car limited to 6.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 23 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdapter and cable, car limited to 3.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 12 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBattery sizes here are the ones actually found on Type 1 cars rather than the 60 to 80 kWh packs of newer models.

Type 1 has five, Type 2 has seven. If you tell us the car and where you are charging we will tell you whether this adapter or a full cable is the right buy, because the two are not interchangeable in every situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing this adapter will not do is make a rapid charger work. CHAdeMO and CCS rapid charging is a different system with its own cable attached to the unit, and no AC adapter changes that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it is built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to IEC 62196-2 and CE marked, with an IP55 rating that covers rain and dust on an exposed driveway, and a working range of -30C to +50C. Warranty is two years from the manufacturer, delivery free next working day, returns accepted for 30 days. Free next working day UK delivery and 30 days to return it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"evp-see-also\"\u003eSee also: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eType 1 to Type 2 adapter questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cars need a Type 1 to Type 2 adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMostly cars sold before about 2015: the first generation Nissan Leaf, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, the Kia Soul EV, early Vauxhall Amperas and similar.
