{"product_id":"leapmotor-b10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable","title":"Leapmotor B10 Hybrid EV Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree hours and fifteen minutes. That is empty to full on a Leapmotor B10 Hybrid EV using a 32A cable, and it is the fastest complete charge of anything Leapmotor sells in Britain. The battery is the smallest in the range at \u003cstrong\u003e18.8 kWh\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the car still accepts \u003cstrong\u003e6.6 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the maths works out very much in your favour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat number changes how you use the car. A 50 mile electric range is not enough to cover a week, so this is a plug-in-often car rather than a plug-in-overnight one. The point is that plugging in often is easy when a full charge fits inside an evening at home, a morning at the office, or a long afternoon in a supermarket car park. Owners who treat it that way run on electricity for most local driving and only wake the petrol generator up for longer trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the cable is a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A single-phase cable\u003c\/a\u003e is the one to buy, because it lets the car draw its full 6.6 kW and gain about 18 miles of electric range an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the 16A cable and the car is capped at 3.7 kW. Empty to full becomes five and three quarter hours and you gain ten miles an hour instead of eighteen. That is still an overnight charge, but it takes the car out of the useful territory where a top-up fits into a couple of hours between errands, which is exactly the behaviour that keeps this car cheap to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-Phase 32A cable has no role here at all. The B10 Hybrid EV's onboard charger is single phase, so a three-phase cable draws the same 6.6 kW at greater cost.

Leapmotor does not publish the rating of the AC cable, and it makes a real difference on this car, so look for 16A or 32A moulded into the plug. Length is the other reason people buy a second cable, since supplied cables are usually 5m and the B10's charge flap sits on the rear right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA household socket is a reasonable fallback on a battery this small. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e gives about six miles an hour, so nine and a quarter hours plugged in overnight is a complete charge.

Every cable ships CE and TUV certified, IP55 sealed on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin, rated from -30C to 55C, with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a bigger electric range from the same technology, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable\"\u003eC10 Hybrid EV\u003c\/a\u003e carries 28.4 kWh.

Small battery, decent charger. 18.8 kWh at 6.6 kW is a little over three hours once you allow for charging losses. It is the same reason a phone with a small battery fills faster than a tablet on the same plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould I be charging it every single day?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the cheapest miles, yes. With 50 miles of electric range the battery is doing its job when it is being emptied and refilled regularly. There is no benefit in saving the charge, because the petrol generator is always there as backup for anything longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 16A cable fine given the battery is so small?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will always finish overnight, so it is not a disaster. But at ten miles an hour a two hour evening top-up gets you twenty miles, where the 32A cable gets you thirty six. On a car you are plugging in most days, that gap adds up quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I top up at a supermarket or car park post?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is one of the better uses of this car. Untethered Type 2 posts are common in supermarket and town centre car parks, and an hour of shopping is worth around 18 miles of electric range with the 32A cable. Take the cable, plug in, come back to a fuller battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the petrol side of the car still need charging if I do long miles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the generator looks after itself, but a full battery still helps on a long trip. The car will draw from the pack first and start the generator when it runs low, so arriving at the motorway with a full battery buys you the first 50 miles on electricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill frequent charging wear the battery out?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot in any way you will notice. Batteries in plug-in hybrids and range extenders are designed for daily cycling, and the pack keeps a hidden buffer at each end so you never actually take it to a true zero or a true hundred percent. Charging every day is normal use, not abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094030426295,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094030459063,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49094030491831,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094030524599,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094030557367,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094030590135,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094030622903,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-LEAP-B10-HEV","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49094030655671,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-B10-HEV","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":49094030688439,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-LEAP-B10-HEV-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":49094030721207,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-LEAP-B10-HEV-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_46cc5c0f-8683-49d3-8bc8-4dbb24a6f162.jpg?v=1788075079","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/leapmotor-b10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
