Buy the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for the LDV EV80. The van holds 56 kWh and its onboard charger is around 7 kW, so a 32A lead lets it work at full pace and anything smaller simply stretches the night out.
The EV80 was on sale here from roughly 2017 to 2020, and it was the last electric van to carry the LDV name. The brand became Maxus in the UK and Ireland in April 2020, and the eDeliver 9 took over the same slot in the range. If you are shopping for the newer van, the cable is the same Type 2 to Type 2 lead, but the battery choice runs from 51 kWh to 88.5 kWh and the AC rate varies by version, so check the handbook rather than assuming.
On the EV80 itself the onboard charger is the limit that matters. Most sources put it at about 7 kW, a few say 6.6 kW, and the difference is a matter of minutes rather than hours. A 32A cable supplies 7.4 kW, comfortably more than the van will pull, so the van sets the pace. Our compatibility chart puts a full charge from a 7.4 kW wallbox at roughly seven hours.
A 16A cable is the version to avoid on this van. It caps you at 3.7 kW, which is barely half what the EV80 can take, and on a 56 kWh battery that turns an overnight charge into something closer to a working day. It only makes sense if the charge point itself is limited to 16A and you have no choice.
The 3 pin cable is worth owning as a backstop for a site with no charge point, but it is not a way to run a van. At 2.3 kW you are looking at well over a day from empty. Treat it as insurance.
We also list a three phase 22 kW cable. It will fit the EV80 and it will not speed it up, because the van accepts about 7 kW no matter what is offered. A UK home supply is single phase in any case, which holds every EV to 7.4 kW on the drive.
The van also has a CCS inlet for rapid charging at around 30 kW. That connection is DC, and the charge point provides its own attached lead. Diesel LDV V80 models have no charging port at all.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin: 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 27h30m | Insurance only, far too slow for daily use |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A: 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 17h00m | Wastes half the van's charging ability |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: 5m or 10m | 7.4 kW cable, van accepts around 7 kW | Around 7h00m from a 7.4 kW wallbox | Best fit |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase: 5m or 10m | 22 kW cable, van still accepts around 7 kW | No quicker than the 32A | No benefit on the EV80 |
Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67. The 32A single phase cable is also stocked in 15m and 20m for yards and long driveways. All are CE certified and come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
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
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in the 32A version. The EV80 carries a 56 kWh battery and an onboard charger of about 7 kW, so a 32A lead at 7.4 kW gives the van everything it can take. Our chart puts a full charge from a 7.4 kW wallbox at roughly seven hours.
Not really. At 3.7 kW it delivers roughly half what the EV80 will accept, so 56 kWh takes about seventeen hours instead of around seven. Unless the charge point you use is itself limited to 16A, the small saving on the cable costs you an entire extra night of charging every time the van runs low.
No. The EV80 tops out near 7 kW on AC, so a 22 kW three phase cable hands it far more than it can use and finishes no sooner. British homes are single phase as well, which limits any vehicle to 7.4 kW on a driveway. The 32A single phase cable is the sensible buy.
Around seven hours on a 32A cable from a 7.4 kW wallbox, which is the figure on our compatibility chart for the 56 kWh pack. A 16A lead stretches that to about seventeen hours, and a 3 pin cable at 2.3 kW needs more than a full day, so plan around the 32A version.
Yes, the connector is the same Type 2 to Type 2. The eDeliver 9 replaced the EV80 when LDV became Maxus in April 2020, and it comes with 51, 72 or 88.5 kWh depending on version. AC rates vary between them, so check your handbook, but the 32A cable remains the right choice.
No. The V80 is a diesel panel van with no battery and no charging port, so nothing here will plug into it. Only the EV80 and the later Maxus electric vans charge. If your van has a fuel filler and no charge flap on the bodywork, you do not need a cable at all.

The EV80 was sold in the UK from around 2017 to 2020, and it was the last electric van to wear the LDV badge: the brand became Maxus in the UK and Ireland in April 2020, and the EV80's place in the range was taken by the eDeliver 9. For charging it is a Type 2 van with a CCS inlet for rapid charging, and the onboard charger is about 7 kW, which means roughly seven hours for a full charge from a 7.4 kW wallbox. A 32A Type 2 cable is the right product. Some listings quote 6.6 kW rather than 7 kW; either way a 32A cable covers it and a 16A one would slow you down.
| Badge | Years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LDV EV80 panel van and chassis cab | 2017 to 2020 | 56 kWh | Type 2 for AC, plus CCS rapid at around 30 kW | Around 7 kW. Some sources quote 6.6 kW | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A |
| Maxus eDeliver 9, the successor | 2020 onwards | 51, 72 or 88.5 kWh depending on version | Type 2, plus CCS rapid | Varies by version, check your handbook | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A |

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.
