A seven seat car rarely charges once and then stands still. The Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid does the school run, the commute, the club drop-off and the late collection, and a day shaped like that empties its 56 mile electric range well before bedtime. The real question is not whether it charges overnight, but how fast it is ready to go out again after tea. That is a question about the cable.
The Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid accepts a maximum of 6.6 kW on AC. Both UK trims, Aspire and Summit, carry the same 18.4 kWh battery and the same onboard charger, so there is no faster or slower version to choose between.
Charging happens through a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. Type 2 is the UK and European standard for AC charging, fitted to every home wallbox and every untethered public post, so the connector is never the variable. Check the badge before ordering, though: a petrol Chery Tiggo 8 has no charge flap and nothing behind it to plug into. The Super Hybrid is the version that takes a cable.
The 6.6 kW ceiling is a single-phase figure, and single phase is what arrives at a British house. Our 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable carries 7.4 kW, more than the car will ever call for, so the Tiggo 8 pulls its full 6.6 kW and goes from empty to full in about three hours. A 32A three-phase cable is rated at 22 kW, but extra phases give a single-phase charger nothing to work with. The car still takes 6.6 kW, the turnaround is still three hours, and the only thing that changed is the price.
A 16A cable is the one that hurts a family timetable. It caps the car at 3.7 kW and turns that three hour refill into five hours fifteen minutes. Plug in at six and a 32A cable has you full by nine, ready for whatever the evening throws up, then topping up again on the cheap overnight rate. On 16A the same plug-in is not finished until gone eleven, and the second charge of the day stops being possible.
Our Type 2 to 3-Pin cable works from any 13A household socket at 2.3 kW, filling the Tiggo 8 in around eight and a half hours and adding about seven miles of electric range an hour. Slow next to a wallbox, but usable across a night on a battery this size, which is why it earns its place in the boot for holiday cottages, a relative's garage and any stop with a socket but no charge point. It is IP67 sealed for outdoor use.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid uses the same battery and the same 6.6 kW ceiling in a five seat body, and the Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid steps up to a 34.46 kWh battery. Browse the full Chery charging cable range.
Length matters more here than on a smaller car. The charge flap is on the rear offside, with close to five metres of Tiggo 8 for the lead to travel along before it reaches that corner. Measure with the car parked as the family actually leaves it, boot end wherever it ends up. 5m rarely stretches unless the wallbox is at the back of the space, 10m is the safe default, and 15m or 20m covers detached garages and awkward driveways.
All our cables meet IEC 62196 Type 2 and carry CE and TUV certification. Sealing is IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin, and both are rated from -30C to 55C so they can stay outside through a British winter. Backed by a two year manufacturer's warranty with free next working day UK delivery.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW, single phase
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 5 hours 15 mins | approx. 12 miles | Too slow for daily school runs |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 3 hours | approx. 21 miles | Best Fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 3 hours | approx. 21 miles | No gain, do not buy |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 8 hours 30 mins | approx. 7 miles | Ideal backup, works overnight |
Times are based on the 17.5 kWh usable capacity of the 18.4 kWh pack, and range added per hour comes from the 56 mile WLTP electric range. Expect lower figures in winter, on long fast runs, and with seven people aboard.
A 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable fits a Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid and is the one to buy. It hands the car the full 6.6 kW its onboard charger will take, a three hour refill of the 18.4 kWh battery from empty. Choose carefully on length and ignore higher-rated cables, which this car cannot use.
No, both Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid trims charge at the same speed. Aspire and Summit share an 18.4 kWh battery and a 6.6 kW onboard charger, so they take the same cable and the same three hours from empty. Trim changes the equipment list, not the charging.
No, a 22 kW cable would not speed up a Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid by a minute. The Chery's onboard charger is single phase and capped at 6.6 kW, so it draws the same 6.6 kW from a three-phase cable as from the 32A single-phase one, and empty to full stays at about three hours.
Around eight and a half hours from empty. A Type 2 to 3-Pin cable pulls 2.3 kW from a 13A socket, adding roughly seven miles of electric range an hour to a Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid. Left plugged in for a full night that is the whole battery, so it is a real backup rather than an emergency measure.
Order 10m unless your parking says otherwise. A Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is a long seven seat SUV with its charge flap on the rear offside, so the lead often runs the length of the car before reaching the socket. 5m only works where the wallbox sits at the rear of the space, and 15m or 20m suits a detached garage or a charge point on the far side of the house.
No, a petrol Chery Tiggo 8 has no charging socket, so no cable will connect to it. Only the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, the plug-in version with the 18.4 kWh battery, charges from a wallbox or a household socket. If you are unsure which you have, look for the charge flap on the rear offside.
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.

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
| Model and years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, 2025 on | 18.4 kWh | Type 2 | 6.6 kW, single phase | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A single phase |
The Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is sold in the UK with a single battery and a single onboard charger across Aspire and Summit trim, so charging does not vary by specification. The petrol Chery Tiggo 8 is a separate model with no charging socket. The 32A single-phase cable delivers the car's full 6.6 kW and a three-phase cable cannot exceed it.

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 is 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. This is great if you can park close to the electricity supply and you don't need much length to reach your car this is a great option for you.
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 should be sufficient to reach the vast majority of locations where you would like to charge your car. If this isn't enough you can always add an extension cable.
If you are looking to charge your car using a 3-pin socket this is a great choice for you. The maximum charge speed for a 3 pin socket is 12 amps, so this cable will be capable of charging at the maximum charge speed but it also gives you the option if you want to charge at a slower speed (Reducing risk and costs).
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.6kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.6kW. 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 7.2kW. This is the maximum output from a domestic house. A 32amp charge speed will also be able to charge at all lower charge speeds (i.e 16amp - 3.6kW). This is a great choice if you are limited to 7.2kW or you only charge your car at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW. This cable will ensure that your ev charging cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. This cable is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
