The Kia Niro is sold as a plug-in hybrid and as a full EV, and the two charge at very different speeds from very different batteries. Both use the same connector, so the same cable fits either, but check which car you have before reading the tables.
Every Niro that plugs in uses a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. The self-charging Niro Hybrid does not plug in at all and needs no cable.
The Niro PHEV has a small battery, 8.9 kWh on the first generation and 11.1 kWh on the second. Any cable fills it in an evening, so the 16A cable is all it needs.
The Niro EV is the one where cable choice matters. The second-generation car accepts 11 kW as standard, and some first-generation 64 kWh cars do too where the optional three-phase charger was fitted. Either way that 11 kW is only reachable on a three-phase supply. On a normal single-phase UK home wallbox it charges at 7.4 kW, which makes our 1-Phase, 32A cable the right buy for home charging.
We stock the Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable in 5m and 10m lengths. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable is available in the same lengths for charging from an ordinary UK 13A socket. More on charging from a domestic socket.
If you are comparing Kia's electric range, our Kia EV6 and Hyundai Kona cables cover the closest alternatives.
All our Type 2 to Type 2 charging cables are IP55 rated and our Type 2 to 3-Pin charging cables are IP67 rated. What the IP rating means. Every cable is CE and TUV safety certified and comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty and free UK delivery. Using a third-party cable does not affect your vehicle warranty.

We have not been able to confirm this car's onboard charger rating from a source we are willing to stand behind, so we are not going to print a kW figure for it. Any of our Type 2 cables fits and charges it at whatever rate the car accepts. The 3-Pin time below is reliable, because a UK 13A socket sets that rate, not the car.

|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A or 32A | Set by the car | An evening on any home wallbox | Best Fit |

The Niro EV also rapid charges on CCS at a public rapid charger. That uses the car's own port and does not involve any of the cables on this page.

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.
