Charge Mode 2 Cables

At Delphi, we believe that in order for hybrid and electric vehicles to become mainstream, they need to be made accessible and practical for the average consumer. That’s why we’re investing in technology to help facilitate a global charging infrastructure by offering portable electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). 

Delphi mode 2 charging cables fit directly into the charging inlet of a battery electric vehicle/plug-in hybrid vehicle (BEV/PHEV) and the existing electrical infrastructure to provide a safe alternative charging option at home or away.

Proven durable EV charging cables that last

Delphi Charge Mode 2 Cables are in serial production at multiple major OEMs. Tested according to automotive Standards (LV124), our proven design offers reliability and performance that exceed well beyond compliance. The In-Cable Control- and Protection Device (IC-CPD) allows drivers to safely charge their battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) without the need for a dedicated circuit or EV charging station. 

Our robust design of the in-cable control (ICC) box make it not only drive over resistant* (acc. IEC 62196-1) but able to handle extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C (-22°F) to +50°C (122°F), all the way up to +70°C (158.0°F) in storage. With superior water sealing protection* of immersion in 1 meter, well beyond the 5cm standard* (IP67 High sealing performance (1 meter)), the IC-CPD is durable enough for anything nature throws at it.

And to ensure a service life that lasts just as long as the expected battery life of a vehicle, our IC-CPD is designed to last over 10,000 mating cycles- That adds up to a service life of 9 years if used 3 times a day!

Safe EV charging to protect you and your vehicle

When working on anything electrical, safety is our top priority. That’s why Delphi Charge Mode 2 Cables are fully compliant with the IEC 62752 standard and protect you and your vehicle from dangerous electrical faults that can cause damage, shock, fire, or worse.

Shock protection: When the vehicle charging inlet and grid socket are properly connected, all terminal interfaces and terminals are fully protected against contact. Type B RCD residual current detection (RCD) detects fault currents and disable the charging process.

(NA ONLY) Ground monitoring: IC-CPD measures the protective conductor resistance and stops the charging process if the measured value is too high.

Overheating protection: Dual thermal sensors in the grid plug and sensors inside the ICC box monitor temperature.

Short circuit protection: Short-circuit management capability, will the IC-CPD protects on short circuits at EV.

Overvoltage protection: IC-CPD protects EV from overvoltage.

What is Level 1 AC charging?

A charging “level” in EV terminology refers to the electric power distribution type, standards, and maximum power of a charging system as defined by SAE J1772 and internationally adopted under IEC 62196-1.

Sometimes referred to as “trickle charging”, level 1 charging is perfect for plug-in hybrid vehicles and offers a great alternative charging option by providing a home charging station. By using existing infrastructure, electric vehicle owners save on installation costs while still being able to fully charge their battery overnight. And because the charger is portable, it can easily be stored in any EV luggage compartment, making it perfect for short commutes, overnight charging, or an emergency charge. 

A “Level 1” AC charge pulls electrical energy from the power grid via a standard 120V household outlet and capable of supplying an average maximum of 16 A and 1.92kW. The electric vehicle’s on-board charger then converts and stores this energy for the electric motor. Depending on the vehicle, level 1 charging usually takes 12 to 24 hours to get a full charge on a fully depleted battery. 
What is mode 2 EV charging?A charging “mode” in EV terminology refers to the mode of power delivery, control, and protective equipment of a charging system as defined by IEC 61851-1, the international standard for electric vehicle conductive charging systems.“Mode 2" uses a cable incorporated with a protection device to connect the electric vehicle to a household socket outlets.

 

Our cables use In-Cable Control- and Protection Device (IC-CPD) to provide a standard grounded power connection to residential building sockets from 100 V to 240 V 50/60 Hz (depending on the model variant) and a charging current of 6 A up to 16 A.

An alternative EV charging option for peace of mind

For drivers that suffer range anxiety- the fear that a vehicle has insufficient range to reach its destination- having a Charge Mode 2 cable available on hand can offer some peace of mind. It also ensures that your vehicle will be charged and ready for use when needed with automatic reset.

Our built-in Auto-Reset feature provides a restart in the event of a temporary power grid fault, such as excessive voltage or a brownout. The charging dock will automatically clear any error codes when the cause of the temporary error condition returns to normal and then attempt to restart the charge.

Resource Highlights

Our Delphi Technologies Expert highlights the differences between approved and non-approved EV chargers. Let us show you how to safely charge an electric vehicle.

Can I use an EVSE lead to charge my vehicle each time?

An EVSE lead is great for charging your vehicle when you’re out and about, but it isn’t ideal for permanent use.  Don’t forget, an EVSE lead will be limited to 10-13 amps depending on your country. For most EV’s that is only 6-9 miles per hour of charge. 

Can EV chargers cause an electrical socket to overheat?

Approved EVSE chargers have an in-built temperature sensor installed in the plug, so if it gets too hot, the charger will switch itself off. A non-approved charger may not have this feature and can cause heat damage to the electrical socket.

How can I tell if the EVSE cable is charging the vehicle or not?

The ‘Power’ light will be on to tell you that the EVSE lead is receiving power. Below it, the ‘Charging’ light will flash to tell you that the vehicle is being charged.

What does the ‘Temperature’ light mean on the EVSE charger?

If that light is on, it means that the EVSE lead is getting too hot. Switch it off and allow it to cool down.

What is wrong when the ‘Fault’ light comes on?

On the back of the EVSR lead, there is a handy list of all the faults that could have caused the light to flash. Check each one to narrow down the cause of it.

Can I use the EVSE lead with an extension cable?

This is not advised – it must be plugged directly into an electrical socket. Never use an extension lead without uncoiling it first. 

Why isn’t the vehicle charging when I’ve connected it to an EVSE lead?

There are a number of reasons why this can occur and can vary from vehicle to vehicle. For example, on some models, the vehicle needs to be locked for it to begin charging. The customer may also have set a specific charging schedule that is programmed into the car, which will only allow for it to charge at a certain time. It’s best to check the vehicle’s handbook for guidance before charging.
