If your electric car has the US standard J1772 inlet, you can use this handy adapter to charge at European type 2 (IEC / Mennekes) charging stations. Useful when traveling between countries with differing charging standards, such as China and Taiwan, or Europe and the US. Rated for maximum 32 amps. This compact adapter simply connects to the charger's cord and plugs right in to your vehicle. Note that, due to its ultra-compact design, it does not latch to the vehicle. When using chargers that don't have a cord, you will need to bring your own Type 2 cord.
