There are two types of EV charging cable, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 is the standard used in Europe (and, of course, Ireland). Type 2 cables cannot be used on vehicles or chargers with Type 1 connections due to the different pin layout of those connections. It should be noted that the type of cable does not have any bearing on the rating. When you buy a charging cable, you will need to make sure it meets the electrical rating of your vehicle, regardless of what type it is.
