The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a Type 1 inlet, not the Type 2 socket on most plug-in cars, so it needs a Type 1 to Type 2 cable and a Type 2 lead will not go in. That applies to the 12 kWh 2014 to 2018 car and the 13.8 kWh 2019 to 2021 facelift alike. Both cap at about 3.6 kW on AC, well under the 7.4 kW a single phase UK home wallbox can supply. A full charge therefore takes from about three and three quarter hours to four and a half, whichever Type 1 cable you buy.
The Type 1 to Type 2 cable is also the lead you carry for untethered public charge points, which almost all have a Type 2 socket, so one cable covers the drive and the car park. Type 1 is a five pin, single phase connector, so there is no three phase version of this cable and no reason to look for one. On a battery this small the Type 1 to 3 Pin is a genuine way to charge: it has an adjustable current setting for older wiring and fills a 12 kWh Outlander from empty in about six hours, an ordinary night plugged in. If you need more length, the 10m 16A cable reaches round the car when you reverse onto the drive.
Every lead we make for the brand is in Mitsubishi EV charging cables, including the Mitsubishi i-MiEV charging cable.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 to Type 2, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW (car takes 3.6 kW) | 3 hours 45 mins | All the car can draw |
| Type 1 to Type 2, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW (car limited to 3.6 kW) | 3 hours 45 mins | Same time, dearer cable |
| Type 1 to 3 Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 6 hours | A genuine overnight charge |
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 to Type 2, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW (car takes 3.6 kW) | 4 hours 30 mins | Still the one to buy |
| Type 1 to Type 2, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW (car limited to 3.6 kW) | 4 hours 30 mins | No time saved at all |
| Type 1 to 3 Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 6 hours 45 mins | Still fits inside a night |
Times are worked from each car's nominal battery size, so real charges run a little shorter. Cold weather lengthens them again.
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 1 to Type 2 cable in the 16A rating. The Outlander PHEV has a Type 1 inlet, which is why an ordinary Type 2 to Type 2 cable will not fit it, and its onboard charger stops at about 3.6 kW, which the 16A cable supplies in full.
No, not by one minute. The 32A cable is rated for 7.4 kW but the Outlander PHEV will only ever draw about 3.6 kW, so both cables finish the battery at the same time. The only reason to spend the extra is if a quicker Type 1 car is going to borrow the same lead.
Yes, and on this car it works properly rather than being an emergency measure. The Type 1 to 3 Pin cable draws 2.3 kW and refills a 12 kWh Outlander in about six hours, so plugging in when you get home covers a full charge before morning without any wallbox.
No, and there cannot be. Type 1 is a five pin single phase connector, so it has no way to carry three phases. The physical ceiling for the standard is 7.4 kW, and this car stops well below that anyway at 3.6 kW.
They take exactly the same cable. The 2019 facelift grew the battery from 12 kWh to 13.8 kWh, so it takes about forty five minutes longer to fill, but the socket and the 3.6 kW charging speed did not change between them.
Only the PHEV. Mitsubishi sold 2.0 petrol and 2.2 diesel Outlanders alongside it, including seven seat versions, and none of those has a charging port. If there is only one flap on the car and it takes fuel, you do not need a cable.
Please check this before ordering. The Outlander PHEV uses a Type 1 socket for AC charging, not the Type 2 fitted to almost every other plug-in car sold here. A Type 2 to Type 2 cable will not go in. You need a Type 1 to Type 2 cable, and because the onboard charger is only about 3.6 kW, a 16A cable is genuinely all the car can draw and a 32A one will not charge it any faster. The Outlander PHEV also has a second flap with a CHAdeMO port for rapid charging, which is worth knowing because CHAdeMO posts are becoming scarcer on the UK network. And note that a petrol and diesel Outlander was sold alongside the PHEV; those have no charging port at all.
| Badge | Years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlander PHEV, 2.0 petrol | 2014 to 2018 | 12 kWh gross | Type 1 for AC, plus CHAdeMO for rapid | Around 3.6 kW. Sources quote 3.6 and 3.7 | Type 1 to Type 2, 16A is all the car can use. 32A also fits |
| Outlander PHEV, 2.4 petrol, facelift | 2019 to 2021 | 13.8 kWh gross | Type 1 for AC, plus CHAdeMO | Around 3.6 kW, unchanged from the earlier car | Type 1 to Type 2, 16A is enough |
| Eclipse Cross PHEV, the same running gear | 2021 to 2023 | 13.8 kWh gross | Type 1 for AC, plus CHAdeMO. Inferred from the shared platform rather than a Mitsubishi UK document | Around 3.7 kW | Type 1 to Type 2, 16A is enough |
| Outlander 2.0 petrol or 2.2 diesel, including the seven seater | 2012 to 2021 | None | No charging port | Does not plug in | No cable needed |
Mitsubishi stopped selling new cars in the UK in 2021, but parts and servicing never went away: International Motors kept a 105-site aftersales network running, and the brand returns to UK showrooms in summer 2026.

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.
