Type 2 to GB/T AC Charging Adapter FAQs

B2B OEM ODM Frequently Asked Questions

Product Positioning and Use Case

Q1. What is this Type 2 to GB/T adapter designed for?
It allows vehicles with GB/T AC charging inlets to charge from IEC 62196 Type 2 charging infrastructure. This is essential for Chinese standard EVs operating in regions dominated by European Type 2 infrastructure.
Q2. Is this product an adapter or a charging cable?
This product is defined as an interface adapter intended to bridge two different regional AC charging standards physically and functionally.
