Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase, 22 kW (5m / 10m)
The 2023 onwards Kona Electric accepts 10.5 kW on three phase. Reaching that at a workplace or public three-phase post takes a three-phase cable, and the 32A three phase is the one we sell, so it is the cable that gives the newer car its maximum charge speed away from home. The 2018 to 2023 car has a 7.2 kW single-phase charger and gains nothing from it.
Only charging at home, or have the first generation car? A British house is single phase and gives 7.4 kW either way. The 32A single-phase cable (5m / 10m) delivers all of that on both generations and costs less.
A Hyundai Kona Electric takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and how fast it pulls depends on which generation you have. Cars from 2018 to 2023 accept 7.2 kW. Cars from 2023 onwards accept 10.5 kW. Buy the 32A single phase cable either way.
Check one thing before you order. The Kona Hybrid has no charging socket at all, in either generation, and there has never been a Kona plug-in hybrid in Britain. If yours is the Hybrid there is no cable to buy, from us or anyone.
The 32A is right on both generations for the same reason: a British house supplies one phase and one phase carries 7.4 kW. On a first generation Kona that covers the full 7.2 kW the car will take. On a second generation car the extra headroom above 7.4 kW only exists where three live phases reach the socket, which at a house they do not. A 22 kW cable earns its price at a workplace, where a 65.4 kWh Kona finishes in about 7 hours rather than 10.
Avoid the 16A unless the Kona is a low mileage second car. Held to 3.7 kW, a 64 kWh first generation car needs 19 hours 30 minutes from empty instead of 10, and the range you recover drops from about 34 miles an hour to 17.
On length, the Kona is unusual: the charging flap is in the nose, behind the grille, not on a wing. Park nose in towards the wallbox and 5m is generous. Reverse onto the drive, as most people do, and the inlet ends up at the far end of the car, which is where 10m earns its money.
Other Hyundais have their own pages, including the Ioniq 5 and the Inster, and the full Hyundai charging cable range lists the rest. Built to IEC 62196-2, CE certified, IP55 sealed, rated from -30C to +50C, two year warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 10.5 kW, three phase
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 20 hours | approx. 18 miles | Too slow for this battery |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 10 hours | approx. 36 miles | Best fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 10.5 kW (car limited) | 7 hours | approx. 51 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 32 hours 15 mins | approx. 11 miles | Backup only |
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 7.2 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 | 19 hours 30 mins | approx. 17 miles | Too slow for this battery |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.2 kW (car limited) | 10 hours | approx. 34 miles | Best fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.2 kW (car limited) | 10 hours | approx. 34 miles | No gain, the charger is single phase |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 31 hours 30 mins | approx. 11 miles | Backup only |
The 48.4 kWh second generation car and the 39 kWh first generation car charge at the same rates, they simply finish sooner. Cold weather and motorway speeds reduce the miles per hour figure.
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 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
No. The Hyundai Kona Hybrid has no charging socket anywhere on the car and charges its own small battery from the engine and from braking. Only the Kona Electric plugs in, and no Kona plug-in hybrid has ever been sold in the UK.
The 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable, on either generation. It delivers the full 7.4 kW a British home supply can give, which is more than the 7.2 kW a 2018 to 2023 Kona will take and all a 2023 onwards car can use at a house.
Yes. The first generation Kona Electric, 2018 to 2023, has a 7.2 kW single phase onboard charger. The second generation, from 2023, has a 10.5 kW three phase unit. The cable you buy is the same, but only the newer car can use more than 7.4 kW, and only where three phase power is available.
Only a second generation car, and only at a genuine three phase supply, where it takes a 65.4 kWh Kona from empty to full in about 7 hours instead of 10. On a first generation Kona it achieves nothing anywhere, because that charger is single phase. At a British house both cables deliver the same 7.4 kW.
The Kona's charging flap is in the nose behind the grille, so measure from the wallbox to the front of the car as you actually park. 5m suits nosing in towards the unit. 10m is the safer choice if you reverse onto the drive or the wallbox is on the far side.

Only the Kona Electric plugs in. The Kona Hybrid has no charging socket in either generation, and no Kona plug-in hybrid has ever been sold in Britain, so a listing offering a Kona PHEV cable is mislabelled. Trim level makes no difference to charging.

How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
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.
