Our GBT to Type 2 Adapter is an efficient charging accessory specially designed for electric vehicles. This adapter converts GBT (national standard socket) to Type 2.
GBT to Type 2 Adapter is essential for EV fleet charging in China using European standard charging equipment. This adapter allows seamless charging capabilities between the two dominant charging connector standards.
The GBT standard refers to China’s own DC EV Charger (Dual Plug) charging interface. It is primarily used in mainland China for electric vehicle charging. The GBT connector is not compatible with other global standards.
The Type 2 charging standard is the common AC EV charger interface widely used in Europe and many other countries globally, except North America and Japan. It supports single and three phase charging.
An adapter between GBT and Type 2 is essential since mainland China uses the GBT standard, while imported electric vehicles and charging stations mainly comply with Type 2. So the adapter provides interoperability.
The GBT to Type 2 adapter is constructed using high quality components to safely connect the two different charging interfaces, allowing the electric vehicle to charge from any compatible charging station.
These adapters are commonly used in China for public EV charging stations, workplace charging, and other locations using Type 2 charge points to service electric vehicles with GBT plugs.
Key advantages include flexibility to leverage imported EVSEs, convenient charging for EV drivers, and avoided need to fully replace existing charging infrastructure as EV adoption increases.
Always fully insert adapter and ensure firm connection into vehicle and station charge point. Visually inspect for any damage beforehand. Follow all charging safety procedures.
The adapter is particularly useful for electric bus charging operations using imported charging stations. Avoids replacing entire existing charging infrastructure.
We recommend sourcing from reputable EV charger manufacturers to ensure optimal construction and safety. There are many low quality adapters on the market with reliability issues.
Where are GBT to Type 2 adapters used?
GBT to Type 2 adapters are used widely across charging locations in mainland China to connect vehicles with GBT plugs to Type 2 chargers.
Can this adapter be used in North America or Europe?
No, this particular adapter is only for use connecting GBT and Type 2 charge connectors, which are not present in North America or Europe.
Is a GBT to Type 2 adapter safe to use?
Yes, a properly constructed adapter from a reputable manufacturer is entirely safe following standard charging safety practices.
Why not just replace all charging points?
Replacing infrastructure is very costly and time-consuming vs using inexpensive adapters as a flexible interim solution.
How durable is a GBT to Type 2 adapter?
High quality adapters made with strong materials can withstand long-term regular public, fleet and workplace charging use without issue.
