Charging cables for Volkswagen e-Golf
The Volkswagen e-Golf uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) connector and a single-phase AC charging system with a maximum power of 7.2 kW. You need to use a cable with a capacity of at least 7.4 kW. Cables with lower capacity, such as 3.7 kW, will not be sufficient. You can safely use both single-phase and three-phase cables.
Wallbox charging stations for e-Golf
Charging the e-Golf with a wallbox is a reliable and efficient option. The car supports a maximum of 7.2 kW, so even when connected to a more powerful station, the charging speed will not increase. Suitable wallbox configurations:
– 3.7 kW (1 phase, 16A): charging at 3.7 kW
– 7.4 kW (1 phase, 32A): charging at 7.2 kW
– 11 kW (3 phases, 16A): charging at 3.7 kW
– 22 kW (3 phases, 32A): charging at 7.2 kW
Electrical installation requirements
When choosing a wallbox, you need to take into account the capacity of your electrical panel. If you have a three-phase power supply, check whether the full 7.2 kW can be used on a single phase. In such cases, it is recommended to use a wallbox with a dynamic load management system.
Mobile charging stations for Volkswagen e-Golf
Mobile charging stations are a practical solution for home charging through a standard socket (220V). They are suitable for emergencies or as a backup option. Their power is usually 2.3 or 3.7 kW, which makes them slow for charging the e-Golf with a 32 kWh battery, but still useful for basic needs.
