Toyota Prius – Schuko-Ladegerät 6A bis 16A für Steckdose Typ 1. Einstellbarer Strom für häufiges Laden (Modelle bis 2016)

Use A 16A Schuko Socket To Charge The Type 1 Socket Toyota Prius.

This Mode 2 Schuko charger can charge the Type 1 socket Toyota Prius up to 16A, which equates to around 3,7kW. Mode 2 chargers that use a Schuko / household socket are ideally suited as a backup charging device.

Plug this charger into a Schuko socket to charge your Toyota Prius up to 16A. Adjusting the charger’s current to 10A enables you to charge the vehicle at the recommended safe charging limit of 10A. Lowering the current to 8A or 6A allows connection to a PV system / solar panels power supply.

Being able to reduce the charging current reduces the heat stress on a mains socket. This is important if a Schuko socket lacks a dedicated circuit connection. Or where the circuit and socket haven’t been certified for charging an electrical vehicle by a qualified electrician.

This Mode 2 Schuko charger has a timer, enabling delayed charging from 1 to 10 hours after plugging in. It also has AC 30mA + DC 6mA (Type B) fault detection.

Is This Type 1 To Schuko Charging Cable Suitable For The Toyota Prius?

Choosing The Right Charger

The socket of a Toyota Prius manufactured up to 2016 is Type 1 and this cable will therefore charge your vehicle up to it’s full capacity. If your vehicle is the Type 2 socket Toyota Prius (manufactured from 2017) you will need the Type 2 socket Schuko Charger.

Charging the battery of an electric vehicle for long periods with a Schuko socket may cause thermal damage to the socket. For example, the socket might overheat if the socket is damaged, if there is faulty wiring, or if the electrical circuit is overloaded. It is rare, but it does happen.

For this reason, we strongly recommend that an electrician inspects the intended socket to certify its suitability for regularly charging your vehicle.

We understand that charging your vehicle with a socket certified by an electrician may not always be feasible. Charging your vehicle on holiday for example. In such instances, we recommend charging the vehicle at 6A. It is also a good idea to ensure that both the plug and socket are not becoming excessively hot during charging.

Avoid using an extension lead or adapter. Plug the charger directly into the socket. Ensure that water does not come into contact with the prongs of the 2-pin plug or enters inside the Type 1 plug. Keep the charger dry when not in use. Before using this charger, be sure to read the user booklet included with the charger.

Please note that Toyota did not manufacture this cable.
