The benefits of ORIDON Portable EV Chargers:

Our portable charging cables are great in space efficiency. As they are able to be coiled, they take up less space when stored, making them convenient for compact storage in vehicles or charging stations. The coiled shape helps prevent tripping hazards by keeping the cable neatly compact and off the ground.

Comparing Portable Chargers and Type 2 to Type 2:

The primary difference lies in the connector types on either end of the cable. Type 2 to Type 2 cables have the same connector on both ends, making them suitable for vehicles and charging stations equipped with Type 2 connectors. On the other hand, the portable cable features a Type 2 connector on one end for your car and a Type 1 connector on the other, for the power outlet.

Type 2 to Type 2 cables are commonly used for charging stations featuring universal Type 2 connectors. This cable type is often found in newer EV models and charging infrastructure. Type 2 to Type 2 cables make charging at public stations a lot more effective. These cables facilitate the large output of power from the commercial charging ports. However, almost all homes need a portable cable given the power output of your home.

Investing in a portable charging cable adds a layer of convenience to your EV charging experience. It also stands as the ‘must have’ option given it’s probably the cable that suits your home set up! Its best to have both portable cables as well as Type 2 to Type 2, as there are different use cases for both. Having both means your equipped to get the fastest charging available to you, in any given situation.
