What are the core differences between Mode 2 and Mode 3 charging cables?

Mode 2 is a portable charging cable with integrated CCID protection device, which can be plugged directly into household sockets for AC charging, suitable for emergency home‑use scenarios. Mode 3 is designed for charging piles without built‑in CCID; protection functions are realized by the charging pile host, for fixed installation of wall‑mounted and public charging piles. DEGSON products are developed in strict compliance with IEC62752 and IEC62196 standards.
