e-Mobility / Charging electric cars

Discover the many ways to charge an e-car


Would you like to buy an electric car or do you already own one? Congratulations! We offer you reliable ways to charge your e-car. Whether at home or on the road, Lapp Mobility's charging options put you in the best possible position when it comes to electric mobility, for example with one of our Type 2 charging cables that comply with the European standard.

Charge your electric car conveniently at home and on the road

With the right charger in your boot, you can refuel at any public charging station for electric cars. To use it, however, you must have your own charger for your electric car (in the case of fast-charging stations, the cable is already connected to the pillar). With the mobile charging station from Lapp, you can also charge conveniently at a household or industrial socket, for example at a friend's house or at work.
However, most electric cars are charged at home. After all, there is nothing more convenient than parking in your own garage or carport, connecting the charger to the electric car and then driving off with a full battery.
Charging an electric car at home also has the advantage that it is much cheaper than filling up at public charging stations. With a private wallbox for your electric car, you are not dependent on the fees charged by charging station operators.

Choosing the right charging cable and socket

As described above, there are several ways to charge your car:
at home at a socket or wallbox on the road at public charging stations, fast charging stations and charging stations; the only requirement is that you have the right charger with the right plugs for your electric car. In Germany, all charging stations are equipped with a standardised Type 2 plug. This plug is also used for all European car models. A charging cable called Mode 3 with Type 2 plugs on both sides enables problem-free charging at all charging stations.
American or Asian car models usually have a type 1 plug. Therefore, chargers for these types of electric cars should have a Type 2 plug on the side of the charging pole and a Type 1 plug for connecting the vehicle.
Other types of plugs are used for fast charging points for electric cars. In Europe, the CCS plug is standard, while in Japan a CHAdeMO plug is used.
The easiest way to charge is at the socket. Here, the Mode 2 charging cable has the familiar Schuko plug on one side and the Type 2 plug on the other. A protection and control box integrated into the cable monitors the charging process.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

There is no general answer for the duration of the charging process. Some electric cars can be fully charged in as little as 20 minutes, while older models may take longer. The duration of the charging process depends on several factors:
Battery level Battery size Charging power of the charging station or socket Charging technology of the vehicle.
This means, for example, that it takes longer to charge an electric car with a large battery than one with a smaller battery. It also takes longer to reach the last fifth of a full charge than the first 80 percent. In addition, the charging method and the charger of the electric car in question influence the time it takes to continue driving.
