GONEO Type 2 to Type 2 22kW 32A 5m Mode 3 EV Charging Cable (3‑phase)
Product description
If you’re after faster AC charging at home or at compatible public points, the GONEO Type 2 to Type 2 22kW 32A 5m cable is aimed squarely at that job. On paper it’s a step up from the more modest 7.2kW setups, with the brand claiming up to 22kW and a “90km in one hour” range figure—but charging in the real world still depends heavily on what your car and your wallbox can actually deliver.
The good news is it’s a proper Type 2 Mode 3 cable for Europe, built for everyday plugging and unplugging (including an IP54 waterproof rating and a fire-rating claim). Still, it’s not a universal “grab it and go” lead: if your vehicle’s inlet is Type 2, or Type 2/CCS2, you’ll want to double-check you’ve got the right port layout before buying.
The essentials (what it is and what it’s for)
This GONEO is an EV charging cable designed to connect a vehicle’s charging port to a Type 2 charging station. It’s described as Mode 3 and rated for up to 22kW at 32A, using a 3‑phase approach. In practical terms, it’s the kind of lead you’d keep in the car for home charging situations where you need length and flexibility, or for compatible charging points when the standard cable isn’t provided.
One important limitation from the listing: it’s not an extension cable. It’s meant to run between the charging station and the car, not to daisy-chain other leads.
Key points
What really stands out is the push for higher AC charging performance compared with lower-power cables, plus a spec aimed at durability for routine use. You also get clear guidance that charging power isn’t guaranteed by the cable alone: if your car and your wallbox can’t match 22kW/32A, you’ll charge at the maximum level supported by the combined system.
If you like your purchases to be straightforward, this ticks a box: it’s specifically positioned as Type 2 (7‑pin) to Type 2, with an extra note that some vehicles have CCS2 layouts.
But it’s not the right buy if you’re expecting compatibility with Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO, or GB/T. The product description is quite direct on what it won’t do, so it pays to check before you commit.
Where it shines for everyday use
For day-to-day charging, a 5m lead is a sensible length if you’re typically parking within a reasonable distance between the car and the charger. The listing frames 5m as suitable for “1 car” setups, which fits most straightforward home or driveway scenarios where you’re not constantly stretching across tight spaces.
The cable is also described as being built to handle knocks and handling better than basic leads: ultrasonic welding is claimed to reduce temperature rise during the welding process, and there’s mention of a silver-plated contact plug intended to support conductivity and corrosion resistance.
There’s a bit of “real-life” thinking here too: it comes with a durable carrying bag and Velcro for storage, which matters if you’re often packing it away in a boot or keeping it in a designated area.

What to watch before you buy
Before you get excited about the “22kW” headline, there’s a key dependency: charging power depends on both the vehicle and the wallbox (and your car’s max acceptance). If your wallbox or vehicle can’t reach 22kW/32A, the cable still works—but you may not see the top-end speed you’re expecting.
Also, double-check inlet type. The listing tells you to confirm whether your vehicle charging port is Type 2 (7-pin) or CCS 2 (7-pin + 2-pin). That matters because it’s aimed at vehicles with Type 2 compatibility, it’s not compatible with Type 1, CCS1, CHAdeMO, or GB/T.
Finally, note the “not an extension cable” warning. If your plan involves using it to extend reach via other connections, it likely won’t match your use case.
Pros
- Designed for higher AC charging up to 22kW/32A in compatible setups
- Type 2 to Type 2 Mode 3 lead for Europe
- IP54 waterproof rating and UL94 V-0 fire rating claim
- Silver-plated contact plug is intended to help with conductivity/corrosion resistance
- Includes a carry bag and Velcro for tidier storage
- Testing claims include 10,000 plug connections and a 1 metre drop test
Buying verdict
It makes sense if you already have (or are planning) a compatible Type 2 / CCS2 charging arrangement and you want a 5m lead for practical reach, with a focus on achieving the best AC charging speed your car and wallbox can support. It’s also a sensible choice if you care about cable durability and weather tolerance, based on the IP54 and material/build claims.
You may want to skip it if your vehicle’s charging port isn’t Type 2 (7-pin) / CCS2 (7-pin + 2-pin), or if you’re looking for an extension-style solution. And if you’re buying without a wallbox that can actually support the higher power levels, the “22kW” figure can end up being more marketing than lived experience.
Mini FAQ
Is this cable an extension lead?
No. The listing states it is not an extension cable and is meant to connect only the vehicle’s charging port to the charging station.
Will I get 22kW charging with this cable?
Not necessarily. The listing specifically says charging power depends on both the car and the wallbox, so your real output will be limited by what your setup supports.
What vehicles does it suit?
The description mentions compatibility with Type 2 and CCS2 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and advises confirming whether your charging port is Type 2 (7-pin) or CCS 2 (7-pin + 2-pin).
How weather-resistant is it?
It’s rated IP54 in the listing, which suggests it’s built with moisture/weather exposure in mind for day-to-day use.
What length is this, and is it enough?
It’s 5m long. The listing suggests 5m for a “1 car” distance, so if you regularly park further away from your charger, you might want to consider a longer lead (not provided here).
