Italy is undergoing a profound energy transition in its automotive and transport sectors. Backed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR - Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza) and driven by European climate mandates, the demand for reliable Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is surging. Cities like Milan, Rome, Turin, and Naples are rapidly expanding their public charging grids. Simultaneously, residential installations and corporate fleet electrification are growing at double-digit rates annually.
The European standard for AC charging is firmly established around the Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) interface, commonly known as the Mennekes connector. In Italy, where historical urban layouts present unique spatial challenges, the demand is shifting toward highly durable, flexible, and space-efficient charging cables. Italian businesses, municipal planners, and installation contractors require components that can withstand diverse Mediterranean climates—from the cold, humid winter conditions of the Po Valley to the scorching heat of Sicily and Sardinia.
As modern EVs feature larger battery capacities and faster onboard chargers, three-phase Type 2 charging cables capable of delivering up to 22 kW of power have become the baseline requirement for commercial parking spaces, hotels, and public parking lots across Italy.
For Italian importers, distributors, and EVSE installers, partnering directly with a certified Type 2 charging cable manufacturer like SANCO provides a significant competitive edge. With a robust global supply chain, advanced materials technology, and strict adherence to international quality standards, SANCO delivers custom-tailored charging solutions designed to satisfy the rigorous demands of the Italian market.
Founded in 1999, SANCO is well known as a connection system solutions provider and a national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, design, manufacturing, sales and after sales support for connectivity products. It is committed to becoming a leader in the field of connectivity technology and products.
SANCO specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of electrical interconnection systems for automotive, rail transit, industrial, communications, and energy storage applications, including: high voltage EV connector, energy storage connector, EV charging connectors, manual service disconnect (MSD) units, Laminated busbar, Injection-molded busbar, signal and circular connectors, cell contact systems (CCS) and various precision components.

Guided by our core values of Integrity, Customer-Centricity, Precision Excellence, and Innovative Learning, SANCO is relentlessly advancing as the global leader in connectivity technologies and solutions.
The Italian grid predominantly operates on 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase systems. To ensure optimal performance and safety, Type 2 charging cables must match these electrical architectures perfectly. SANCO's range of Type 2 to Type 2 cables offers both single-phase (up to 7.4 kW / 32A) and three-phase (up to 22 kW / 32A) specifications, ensuring compatibility with all European electric vehicle models, including Fiat 500e, Tesla Model 3/Y, Volkswagen ID series, and Peugeot e-208.
Unlike inferior PVC-based cables, SANCO’s Type 2 EV charging cables utilize high-grade Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for the outer protective jacket. TPU offers superior resistance to abrasion, oil, ozone, and UV radiation. In Italy's coastal and urban environments, where ozone concentrations can spike and UV exposure is high, our TPU cables maintain flexibility and structural integrity over thousands of duty cycles, preventing cracking and ensuring user safety.
The plug handle is designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring a comfortable grip and a robust structure that resists impact (IK10) and vehicle run-over forces. The internal wiring is completely sealed, achieving an IP55 rating when mated (and IP67 in select configurations), preventing water ingress and dust accumulation. This is critical for outdoor public charging stations installed along Italian highways and municipal parking spots.
Our Type 2 charging cables are engineered to integrate seamlessly into various commercial and residential settings across Italy.
Italy's tourism sector, particularly boutique hotels in Tuscany and coastal resorts in Amalfi, is rapidly adopting destination chargers. Providing guests with reliable, premium Type 2 to Type 2 charging cables allows hospitality businesses to attract high-spending eco-tourists driving from Germany, Switzerland, and northern Europe.
Logistics hubs in the Po Valley (near Milan, Bologna, and Verona) are transitioning their urban delivery fleets to electric vans. SANCO's high-durability 32A three-phase cables provide the rapid, consistent energy transfer needed to minimize vehicle downtime during overnight depot charging cycles.
Italian municipalities are installing charging poles in historic city centers where space is limited. Tethered public charging stations require heavy-duty Type 2 cables that can withstand continuous public use, physical abuse, and harsh weather conditions without requiring frequent maintenance or replacement.
Under Italy’s building regulations, new residential developments must include EV charging provisions. Our lightweight, highly flexible 16A and 32A Type 2 cables are ideal for private garages and shared apartment parking, offering simple, safe, plug-and-play operation for daily commuters.
SANCO was founded by Mr. Zeng Zhi Jian in 1999. Through years of R&D and manufacturing expertise in high-voltage interconnection systems, SANCO has established itself as a technology leader, delivering comprehensive connectivity solutions across industries.
