Charging with Mode 3: The control box is secured in a charging station connected to the mains supply. The charging cable does not require any logic to control charging, but has a special connector (Type 2) for connection to the control box. The cable must not be repaired or spliced as this can affect its safety and function. IP6K7 protection rated. The cable can withstand a load of 500 kg in the event of being driven over.
