Type 2 Adapter Selection Matrix
Select a Type 2 Adapter by adapter direction, current rating, phase and target interface. This helps avoid wrong-model selection before sampling or bulk purchase.
| Type 2 Adapter Type | Charger / Source Side | Vehicle / Output Side | Typical Rating | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to Type 1 Adapter | Type 2 AC | Type 1 / SAE J1772 vehicle | 16A / 32A | Type 1 vehicles using Type 2 charging stations |
| Type 2 to GB/T Adapter | Type 2 AC | GB/T AC vehicle | 16A / 32A | Imported EVs and cross-region projects |
| Type 2 to NACS Adapter | Type 2 AC | NACS vehicle | 16A / 32A | NACS vehicles in Type 2 charging regions |
| Type 2 V2L Adapter | Type 2 vehicle port | AC output | Model-dependent | Vehicle-to-load applications |
| Type 2 to Schuko Adapter | Type 2 source Schuko | Schuko output | Model-dependent | Controlled AC output applications |
Final compatibility depends on vehicle model, charger configuration, charging mode, rated current and local electrical requirements. Confirm these details before ordering samples or volume quantities.

Type 2 Adapter for Type 1 Vehicles
This Type 2 Adapter connects Type 2 AC charging stations with vehicles using a Type 1 / SAE J1772 inlet.
Common project use:
- Imported Type 1 vehicles
- Dealer charging support
- Mixed-standard fleet charging
- Commercial charging locations with Type 2 infrastructure
Available structure options include hook and button versions. For project selection, confirm rated current, charging phase, vehicle inlet and station-side connector before sample approval.
Type 2 Adapter for GB/T AC Vehicles
This Type 2 Adapter supports GB/T AC vehicle inlets when Type 2 AC charging access is required.
Common project use:
- Imported EV charging
- Cross-region vehicle sales
- Dealer and showroom charging
- Fleet projects with GB/T AC vehicles
Hook and button structures are available for different handling preferences. Before ordering, confirm the vehicle-side GB/T AC inlet, Type 2 charging source, rated current and phase requirement.


Type 2 V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) Adapter
A Type 2 V2L Adapter is used with compatible vehicles that support vehicle-to-load output.
Common project use:
- Dealer demonstration
- Fleet support equipment
- Mobile service scenarios
- Emergency power access where vehicle support is confirmed
V2L function depends on the vehicle platform and output permission. Confirm vehicle compatibility, rated output, plug type and local electrical requirements before project use.
