GONEO Type 2 11kW 10m 16A 3‑phase Mode 3 Type 2 to Type 2/CCS2 EV Charging Cable (with carry bag)
Product description
What it is and the job it does
The GONEO Type 2 charging cable is built for AC charging of compatible electric vehicles and plug‑in hybrids using a Type 2 setup (and it’s also described as working with CCS2). In plain terms: this is the lead you use between a compatible EV wallbox/charge point and your car’s inlet when you want a steady, cable-based connection.
The “Mode 3” part matters because it points to a typical, managed AC charging approach used with many home and workplace wallboxes in Europe. If your charging routine relies on plugging into a charge point rather than using a portable lead, a Type 2 to Type 2 cable like this is the kind of thing you’ll either already have… or eventually wish you’d picked earlier.
Key takeaways
This cable is positioned for faster AC charging than lower-wattage leads (it’s specified as 11kW, and the description says 11kW is around 50% quicker than 7.2kW). It’s also long enough for more flexible parking arrangements, coming in a 10m length, and it includes a carry bag so you’re not constantly fighting with cable storage.
That said, it’s not a “universal” cable. The description is quite clear on compatibility: it’s not meant for Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO or GB/T. And it also notes a power mismatch scenario—if your car’s onboard charging is limited (for example to 7kW), you won’t magically get 11kW just because the cable can support it.
Where it stands out in day-to-day use
On paper, the strongest day-to-day benefits here are practicality and build approach. The lead uses ultrasonic welding technology to reduce temperature rise versus traditional welding methods, which is mainly relevant to long-term safety and reliability under repeated plug/unplug cycles.
The connectors are silver-plated (stated as 8±2 microns) which, in theory, supports better conductivity and corrosion resistance. For people who leave cables outdoors sometimes, or just live with the reality of dirty charge bays, corrosion resistance is one of those unsexy features that can pay off.
Also, the cable isn’t just described as “robust”: it’s given an IP54 water resistance rating, plus UL94 V‑0 for fire safety. None of that guarantees your local conditions won’t matter, but it does suggest it’s intended to handle real-world use rather than being purely indoor storage.

Compatibility & requirements
This is the bit that can make or break whether the cable is worth buying for you.
- You need a Type 2 charging port on the vehicle side (or CCS2 as referenced in the product description).
- On the car/charging side, the cable is not listed as compatible with Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO or GB/T.
- The charging rate you actually get depends on the vehicle and the wallbox: the description explicitly warns that power depends on both, and it advises checking maximum charging power if you’re not seeing the expected rate.
It’s also worth noting the “no extension” limitation: the description says without an extension, it should connect directly between the car charging port and the charge point, and it states that other cables can’t be connected in between. If you’re thinking you might need to route around obstacles or bridge awkward distances, this cable’s 10m length may be the better way to solve that rather than trying to improvise.
Cable length: why 10m is a practical choice
A 10m lead is typically the right call when you’re parking with a bit more separation from the charge point—think multi-bay drives where you might not always back in perfectly aligned.
The description even gives a simple rule of thumb by number of cars: it suggests 5m for one car’s typical distance, 7m for two, and 10m for three. That’s not a promise (every driveway layout is different), but it’s a useful starting point if you’re currently guessing whether your existing lead is long enough.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a Type 2 lead that supports up to 11kW AC charging, you have a compatible Type 2/CCS2 setup, and you’d benefit from the 10m length for everyday parking flexibility. It also makes sense if you prefer a cable approach that’s aimed at durability: the description includes testing and safety-related claims (IP54, UL94 V‑0, and connector/cable materials).
It’s not the best choice if your vehicle charges at 7kW and you’re buying mainly to chase 11kW results—per the description, the cable supports 11kW/3kW but doesn’t override your car’s charging capability. And you may want to skip it if your car uses a different system (not Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO or GB/T), because compatibility is specifically limited.
One more practical check before ordering: confirm the inlet on your car and the connector type on your charge point, then check your car’s maximum onboard charging power. If those line up, this cable is designed for the job.
Mini FAQ
FAQs
Is this cable suitable for all EVs? No. The description states it’s compatible with Type 2 and referenced CCS2 setups, and not compatible with Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO and GB/T.
Will I definitely get 11kW charging speed? Not necessarily. The description says charging power depends on the vehicle and the wallbox/charge point. It also notes that if your car has a 7kW charge capability, you shouldn’t expect 11kW from this cable.
Can I use extension cables with this lead? The description says it should be connected directly between the vehicle port and the charge point, and it states you can’t connect other cables in between.
Is the cable okay for outdoor use? It’s described as water resistant with an IP54 rating. That’s a good sign for everyday exposure, but conditions vary, so you’ll still want to treat it with care.
What comes with it? The product description says it includes a carry bag with a closure for storing the charging cable.
