{"product_id":"byd-atto-2-charging-cable","title":"BYD Atto 2 Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BYD Atto 2 is the easiest car in the BYD line-up to buy a cable for, and the reason is worth saying plainly: there is nothing to look up. Both batteries, the 51.1 kWh Boost and the 64.8 kWh Comfort, accept \u003cstrong\u003e11 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e as standard, with no faster charging held back for a higher trim. The larger pack does not pull more power, it simply spends longer doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BYD Atto 2 charges through a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. BYD fits the same Type 2 inlet across the board, so there is no Type 1 alternative to weigh up and no trim-specific exception hiding in the brochure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne number does need explaining. The 11 kW rating assumes three phases of supply, and British houses are wired with one, so the most a home wallbox can deliver to an Atto 2 is 7.4 kW. That is precisely what our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-Phase, 32A cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e carries, which is why it suits nearly every Atto 2 on the road. The 3-Phase 32A cable is rated at 22 kW and does the car no harm, though the Atto 2 will only ever draw 11 kW from it, so it repays the money only where a real three-phase supply is already installed at home or at work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16A cable is where the saving looks real and is not. It pins the Atto 2 to 3.7 kW, and on the 64.8 kWh Comfort that stretches a full charge to nineteen and three quarter hours rather than ten, which no overnight window will absorb. Per hour it returns 15 miles of range instead of 30. The electricity costs the same either way, so the slower cable buys you nothing except a car still charging at breakfast and a missed cheap-rate window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLength is the decision that actually deserves thought. We build the Type 2 to Type 2 in 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m. What matters is not the gap between the wallbox and the parking space but the path the cable takes to get there, round the back of the car, along a wall, never diagonally across a drive people walk on. Reversing in one week and nosing in the next changes which end of the car faces the charger, and charge points away from home are rarely as conveniently placed. If your measurement sits near the edge of a size, order the next one up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e comes in 5m and 10m and takes 2.3 kW from any household 13A socket, about nine miles of range an hour.

It delivers 7.4 kW, the ceiling for any single-phase home supply, and it applies to both batteries. If there is no wallbox where you park, the Type 2 to 3-Pin cable lets you charge from an ordinary socket instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the BYD Atto 2 battery size change the cable I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the BYD Atto 2 battery size makes no difference to the cable. The 51.1 kWh Boost and the 64.8 kWh Comfort both accept 11 kW on AC, so both want the same 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2. All that changes is the clock, about 7 hours 45 minutes for the Boost on a 7.4 kW wallbox against 10 hours for the Comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWould a three-phase cable charge a BYD Atto 2 any faster?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three-phase cable only speeds up a BYD Atto 2 if the building it plugs into has a three-phase supply. The car's limit is 11 kW, so a 22kW cable cannot exceed that. With three phase available, the 64.8 kWh car fills in around 6 hours 45 minutes instead of 10 hours. Without it, the cable performs identically to the 32A single-phase one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 16A cable enough for a BYD Atto 2?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable is not enough for a BYD Atto 2 if you want the car ready by morning. It restricts charging to 3.7 kW, so the 64.8 kWh Comfort needs 19 hours 45 mins from empty and the 51.1 kWh Boost 15 hours 30 mins. Neither fits an overnight charge, and the electricity costs exactly the same as it would through the faster cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan a BYD Atto 2 be charged from a household socket?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a BYD Atto 2 can be charged from a standard 13A household socket using the Type 2 to 3-Pin cable, at 2.3 kW. That is roughly nine miles of range an hour, which makes it a genuine way to recover charge when you are staying somewhere without a charge point, but not a replacement for a wallbox as your main method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable length suits a BYD Atto 2?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost BYD Atto 2 owners are well served by 5m or 10m, and we stock 15m and 20m for longer runs. Measure the real route from the charge point to the car's socket rather than the straight-line distance, allow for parking the other way round on days when that is easier, and choose the next size up if the figure is borderline. Excess cable stores in the carry bag; a cable that falls short is useless.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091836706999,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091836739767,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091836772535,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-BYD-ATTO-2","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091836805303,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091836838071,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091836870839,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091836903607,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-BYD-ATTO-2","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091836936375,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-BYD-ATTO-2","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49091836969143,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-BYD-ATTO-2-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 10amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49091837001911,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-BYD-ATTO-2-V5","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49131070554295,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-BYD-ATTO-2-V2","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_516822b3-8d6c-4e65-88e6-53d76d68f1e6.jpg?v=1787953794","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/byd-atto-2-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
