Direct Answer
In Europe, an EV charger is only as usable as the connection between its supply-side plug and the power supply actually available at the site. CEE-style plugs include industrial IEC 60309 connectors and domestic CEE 7/3 Schuko types. They exist in several current and phase ratings, and each one implies a different maximum charging power.
Three variables decide the match -
According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base data, the AC wallbox range is defined by supply type - SD-E700 / SD-E799 at AC 230V ±15%, 1P+N+PE, 32 A, 7 kW; SD-E800 / SD-E899 at AC 400V ±15%, 3P+N+PE, 16 A, 11 kW; and SD-E900 / SD-E999 at AC 400V ±15%, 3P+N+PE, 32 A, 22 kW. Portable charger models are documented with Type 2, GB/T and Type 1 vehicle-side plugs and support customized plug configurations.
Key Takeaways
- Phase count – single-phase 1P+N+PE or three-phase 3P+N+PE
- Rated current – commonly 16 A or 32 A
- Plug standard – domestic Schuko CEE 7/3, IEC 60309 blue for single-phase, or IEC 60309 red 5-pin for three-phase

FAQ
Can an EV charger run from a Schuko socket?
Domestic sockets are typically rated at 16 A single-phase. Continuous charging at high current from a domestic socket depends on the circuit, protection and local rules. This should be assessed by a qualified electrician in the target country and confirmed against the charger’s instructions.
What is the difference between blue and red IEC 60309 plugs?
Blue connectors are single-phase, commonly 230 V, while red 5-pin connectors are three-phase, commonly 400 V. The colour coding is a quick visual indicator of phase type and current rating.
Can a 22 kW wallbox be used on a single-phase supply?
Based on YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base data, the 22 kW model is specified at AC 400 V ±15%, 3P+N+PE, 32 A, a three-phase configuration. A single-phase site would normally point to a 7 kW model instead.
Do I need a separate cable if I choose a tethered wallbox?
The documented wallbox range includes tethered Type 2 models with a fixed output cable. Whether a separate Type 2 cable is still useful depends on the buyer’s channel and end-user scenarios.
Are CEE plug variants automatically covered by existing certificates?
No. Certification documents are issued against defined product categories and model ranges. Any plug or configuration change should be reviewed against the applicable certificate before it is presented to a market.
Which accessories should a distributor stock first?
Practical items are cable holders, wall-mount brackets, storage accessories and replacement plugs and terminals matched to the main product. Selection should follow the models actually sold in that market.
