This page covers two quite different Hondas. The Honda e and e Advance of 2020 to 2023 have a 6.6 kW onboard charger and 28.5 kWh usable, while the e:Ny1 of 2023 to 2025 pairs 61.9 kWh with an 11 kW charger. Both take a Type 2 lead. On a single phase UK supply, which tops out at 7.4 kW, the Honda e fills in about 5 hours and the e:Ny1 in about 9 hours 30 minutes.
A city car spends a lot of time in town car parks, and the Type 2 to Type 2 lead from your drive is the same one those untethered posts expect you to bring. On a car this short, the 15m and 20m 32A leads are about the route to the plug rather than the car: a drive with another car in front, a space on the road, or a wallbox on a detached garage. The Type 2 to 3 Pin has a built in RCD and a current setting you can lower on tired wiring.
Every lead we make for the brand is in Honda EV charging cables, including the Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid charging cable.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our cables. Every cable comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, and the jacket will survive being driven over, though we would rather you did not make a habit of it.
Protection against pressure
Our cables are safe to use whatever the weather. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, CE marked, and work from -30°C to +50°C. Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67 rated, CE marked and work from -30°C to +60°C.
Protection against temperature
Our cables fit any electric car or plug-in hybrid with a Type 2 inlet, including Audi, BMW, Volvo, Mini, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Smart and Toyota. Use our car reg checker to confirm your car.
Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and we would fit a 32A one. The Honda e has a 6.6 kW onboard charger, so 32A lets it take everything it can accept. From empty, the 28.5 kWh usable battery reaches full in about 5 hours. Both 5m and 10m suit the car equally well.
It works, but it slows you down. A 16A cable delivers 3.7 kW against the 6.6 kW the Honda e can accept, so a full charge stretches from around 5 hours to about 8 hours 45 minutes. Given how small the price gap is between 16A and 32A, the 32A cable is the sensible buy.
About 5 hours from empty on a 32A cable, based on 28.5 kWh usable and the 6.6 kW onboard charger. A 16A cable needs roughly 8 hours 45 minutes. The 3 pin lead at 2.3 kW takes around 14 hours, so treat that as a top up rather than a full charge.
Not in practice. 35.5 kWh is the gross figure printed in the brochure. The battery gives you about 28.5 kWh once the protective buffer is taken out, and that smaller number is what governs charging time. Every figure on this page is worked from 28.5 kWh so the times match the car.
No. Every e:HEV model, which covers the Jazz, Civic, HR-V, ZR-V and CR-V Full Hybrid, charges its battery from the engine and has no charging port. Only the CR-V e:PHEV plugs in, and Honda sells the CR-V both ways. Look for a charging flap before you order anything.
The same Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A. The e:Ny1 holds 61.9 kWh usable behind an 11 kW charger, so a home supply gives 7.4 kW and about 9 hours 30 minutes from empty. If you regularly use three phase posts, the 22kW cable unlocks 11 kW and roughly 6 hours 15 minutes.

The Honda e is a Type 2 car with a 6.6 kW onboard charger, so a 32A cable is the right buy and a 16A one would hold it back. One figure worth correcting while you are here: the Honda e is widely quoted as a 35.5 kWh car, but that is the gross capacity. You actually get about 28.5 kWh, which explains why its real-world range is shorter than the headline suggests. Honda withdrew the car from Europe at the end of 2023. Worth knowing about the rest of the range: Honda's e:HEV models, including the Jazz, Civic, HR-V, ZR-V and CR-V Full Hybrid, are self-charging and have no charging port. Only the CR-V e:PHEV plugs in, and Honda sells a CR-V in both forms.
| Badge | Years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |

| Honda e and Honda e Advance | 2020 to 2023 | 28.5 kWh usable, 35.5 gross | Type 2, plus CCS rapid at 46 kW | 6.6 kW | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A |
| Honda e:Ny1 | 2023 to 2025 | 61.9 kWh usable, 68.8 gross | Type 2, plus CCS rapid at 78 kW | 11 kW, which is 7.4 kW on a UK home supply | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A |
| Honda CR-V e:PHEV plug-in hybrid | 2024 onwards | 17.7 kWh | Type 2. No rapid charging | 6.8 kW, about 2 hours 30 minutes for a full charge | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A |
| Honda e:HEV models: Jazz, Civic, HR-V, ZR-V, CR-V Full Hybrid | 2020 onwards | Small battery, charged by the engine | No charging port | Does not plug in | No cable needed |

Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
Accessory Add-Ons
We offer a range of products to help store and transport your charging cable. Choose from the accessories below:
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles (EVs) with a Type 2 connector to charging points is also equipped with a Type 2 socket. It supports faster charging speeds and is commonly used across Europe for EVs with this standard connection.
This cable allows electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket to charge from a standard UK 3-pin domestic outlet. It provides a slower charge but is useful for home or emergency charging when dedicated charging stations aren't available.
A cable used to extend the reach of a Type 2 charging cable. It's helpful when the existing cable is too short to connect an electric vehicle to the charging point, providing more flexibility in parking.
A fixed charging cable attached to a charging point, designed for electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket. The tethered design eliminates the need to carry a separate cable, offering convenience for regular charging at home or work.
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles with a Type 1 socket to charging points equipped with a Type 2 outlet. This allows EVs with the older Type 1 standard to use more modern charging infrastructure.
This cable enables electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector to charge from a standard UK 3-pin household outlet. It's suitable for slower charging at home when dedicated EV charging points aren't accessible.
A 5M charging cable is the shortest length that we offer. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
A 10M charging cable is the most popular length. It allows you to have enough flexibility whilst still being easy enough to move. This is a great option if you cannot park close to the electricity supply.
A 15M charging cable is a great choice if you need some extra flexibility, i.e. get past another car or reach the other end of a driveway. The length of the cable does not affect the charging speed.
A 20M charging cable is the longest cable that we currently offer. 20M reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. If you have two electric cars or are looking to purchase another it might be worth considering a faster charging cable as this could limit charge speeds moving forward.
A 32amp charging cable will be able to charge at 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
