FAQs
Does this cable work with all electric vehicles?
The DEFA eConnect works with all EVs and PHEVs equipped with a standard Type 2 inlet.
Can I leave the cable outdoors in the rain?
Yes, the cable is rated IP44, meaning it is protected against solid objects and splashing water, making it suitable for outdoor use.
What is the benefit of the resin-free plugs?
Resin-free plugs allow for better component separation and recycling, reducing environmental impact compared to typical resin-potted cables.
Will this cable charge my car at 13.8 kW?
It supports up to 13.8 kW provided your vehicle's onboard charger, the charging station, and the local electrical grid all support 3-phase 400V power at 20A.
How do I store the cable when not in use?
Use the included velcro strap to coil the cable neatly. We recommend keeping it in a dedicated cable bag or on a wall-mounted hook.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle does not recognize the cable
Ensure the cable is firmly pushed into the vehicle inlet until you hear or see the locking mechanism engage.
Charging session stops unexpectedly
Check the status lights on your charger and vehicle. If it persists, unplug both ends, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect.
Connector is difficult to remove
Ensure the charging session has been properly terminated via the car's infotainment system or the charging station's app.
