Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit (Teathered Cable Solution)

Turn your tethered EV charger into a safe outdoor power source. The MotorCables Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit is a UK-engineered solution that allows you to power standard 230 V equipment directly from a tethered wallbox or fixed EV charging cable — something ordinary adapters cannot safely do.

How It Works

1. The Type-2 plug connects to your EV wallbox or tethered charger outlet.
2. It converts the output to a Schuko socket — the European 2-pin standard used across most of the EU — rated IP44 for splash resistance.
3. The included Schuko-to-CEE 16 A Fly Lead connects to the Schuko outlet to provide a durable blue 16 A CEE socket for outdoor use.

This configuration safely activates tethered chargers by bypassing the internal control-pilot resistor limitation while maintaining full IP44 weather protection.

Key Features

• Works with tethered or detachable Type-2 chargers
• Maintains IP44 protection for outdoor and workshop use
• High-grade Schuko connectors compliant with EU standards
• 16 A / 230 V AC rating suitable for most portable tools and appliances

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit work with tethered EV chargers?

Yes – it’s specifically engineered for tethered wallboxes and fixed EV cables, where ordinary Type-2 to CEE adapters fail due to the control-pilot resistor. It safely activates and outputs 230 V power.

Is the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit safe for outdoor use?

Yes – both the Schuko socket and the Schuko-to-CEE fly lead are IP44 rated, providing splash-resistant protection for outdoor environments.

Why can’t I use a standard Type-2 to CEE adapter on a tethered wallbox?

Standard adapters don’t activate tethered chargers because of the CP resistor circuit. This MotorCables kit uses a Schuko interface to safely trigger power delivery while maintaining weather resistance.

Can the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit power e-bikes and power tools?

Yes – it supports e-bike chargers, garden tools and camping equipment with Schuko or 16 A CEE connectors up to 230 V / 16 A.
