Three 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 18.8 kWh, and the car still accepts 6.6 kW on AC, so the maths works out very much in your favour.
That 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.
The socket is a Type 2, so the cable is a Type 2 to Type 2. Our 32A single-phase cable 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.
Choose 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.
The 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. Save the money.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW, single phase
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Electric Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 5 hours 45 mins | approx. 10 miles | Adequate, not ideal |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 3 hours 15 mins | approx. 18 miles | Best Fit |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 3 hours 15 mins | approx. 18 miles | No benefit whatsoever |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 9 hours 15 mins | approx. 6 miles | Fine overnight |
Times use the 18.8 kWh capacity. Electric range added per hour is derived from the official electric range and will fall in cold weather and at motorway speeds.
The B10 Hybrid EV is listed as supplied with a Type 2 cable and a domestic 3-pin cable, so check what is in your boot before ordering. 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.
A household socket is a reasonable fallback on a battery this small. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin cable gives about six miles an hour, so nine and a quarter hours plugged in overnight is a complete charge. It is IP67 sealed, so it copes with sitting on a wet driveway. On the pure electric B10 the same cable takes 33 hours, which puts the difference in perspective.
Lengths run 5m to 20m, with 10m the common choice. 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.
If you want a bigger electric range from the same technology, the C10 Hybrid EV carries 28.4 kWh. Everything Leapmotor is on the Leapmotor cable page.
Yes. 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.
If 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.
It 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.
That 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.
No, 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.
Not 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.
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 pressure
Our cables are safe to use whatever the weather. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67 rated. All are IEC, TUV and CE compliant and operate from -30C to +60C.
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
| Model and years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leapmotor B10 Hybrid EV, 2026 on | 18.8 kWh | Type 2 | 6.6 kW, single phase | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A single phase |
One battery and one charge rate across the range, so nothing to check before ordering. The 32A single-phase cable lets the car take its full 6.6 kW, which is a complete charge in three hours fifteen minutes. A three-phase cable cannot beat that, because the onboard charger only draws from one phase.

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.
