{"product_id":"byd-dolphin-charging-cable","title":"BYD Dolphin Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BYD Dolphin is the car that made BYD a familiar name on UK driveways, and buying a cable for one is simple once you know which battery you have. The 60.4 kWh car, the one BYD still sells, takes \u003cstrong\u003e11 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e. The earlier 44.9 kWh cars are the ones worth checking, because the entry Active trim takes only 7 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BYD Dolphin uses a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no Type 1 Dolphin, so the connector choice is settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kW figure is a three-phase rating. UK homes are single-phase, so on a home wallbox the 60.4 kWh Dolphin draws a maximum of 7.4 kW. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-Phase, 32A cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e delivers exactly that and is the right cable for almost every Dolphin owner. The 3-Phase 32A cable is rated to 22 kW and will work perfectly, but the car caps itself at 11 kW, so it only earns its money if you have a genuine three-phase supply at home or at work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a 44.9 kWh Dolphin, check the trim. The Active takes 7 kW single-phase, which a 32A cable still covers in full. BYD UK lists the Boost at 11 kW three-phase while EV Database records it at 7.4 kW single-phase. The good news is that the answer at home is the same either way, because both figures land at 7.4 kW on a UK single-phase supply, so the 32A single-phase cable is the right buy without needing to settle the argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable limits the car to 3.7 kW, which roughly doubles your charging time for a small saving. We stock the Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable in 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m for awkward driveways and difficult charge point placement.\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 charges from an ordinary UK 13A socket at 2.3 kW.

That is 7.4 kW, the fastest a UK single-phase home supply can give the car, and it covers the 7 kW Active trim in full as well. Pick the length that reaches your charge point comfortably and go one size longer if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 3-Phase 22kW cable worth it for a Dolphin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if you have a three-phase supply. The 60.4 kWh Dolphin accepts 11 kW maximum, so a 22kW cable cannot push more than 11 kW into it. On three phase that takes the car from empty to full in about 6 hours 15 minutes instead of 9 hours 15. On single phase, which is nearly every UK home, the 22kW cable behaves exactly like the 32A single-phase one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I tell which battery my Dolphin has?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60.4 kWh car is the Comfort or Design trim and quotes 265 miles WLTP. The 44.9 kWh car is the Active or Boost, sold from 2024 to mid 2025, quoting 211 and 193 miles. If in doubt, the cable recommendation is the same for all of them, so a 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 is a safe purchase either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length cable do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from your charge point to where the charging flap sits when the car is parked, then allow slack so the cable hangs without strain. 5m suits a wallbox beside the parking space. 10m is the most popular choice and covers most driveways. 15m and 20m exist for detached garages, shared parking and charge points on the wrong side of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a third-party cable affect my BYD warranty?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A cable built to the IEC 62196 Type 2 standard and carrying CE and TUV certification does not affect your vehicle warranty. Ours carry a two-year manufacturer's warranty of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I leave the cable outside?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and our Type 2 to 3-Pin cables are IP67 rated. Both operate from -30C to 55C, so the cable can live in the boot or on the driveway all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ev Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091833561271,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091833594039,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091833626807,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091833659575,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091833692343,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091833725111,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091833757879,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-BYD-DOLPHIN","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091833790647,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-BYD-DOLPHIN","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":49091833823415,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-BYD-DOLPHIN-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49091833856183,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-BYD-DOLPHIN-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_16fdd2f8-8218-487b-9d0a-ebe171b8aec2.jpg?v=1787952418","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/byd-dolphin-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
