Sockets in Sweden

Recommended charging cables / adapters

It is recommended to have a mode 3 charging cable to charge from public charging stations and a mode 2 charging cable to a normal household socket (schuko) when travelling. Sweden has two types of sockets, Type C (without earth) and Type F. Sweden has a well-developed 400V TN network and therefore there is also access to many red industrial sockets . and thus it can be practical to have cable adapters for your charging cable. At the same time, it depends on which industry contacts you have access to. Note that many charging cables test for grounding before charging starts (for safety reasons) and a lack of grounding can cause the charging cable to refuse to start charging.
