{"product_id":"leapmotor-c10-charging-cable","title":"Leapmotor C10 Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you have researched the Leapmotor C10's charging speed you have probably seen two different numbers. Some specification databases list an 11 kW onboard charger. Leapmotor's own UK material, and every reviewer who has actually plugged one in, says \u003cstrong\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is worth settling before you spend money on a cable, so here is what the disagreement does and does not change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt does not change which cable you buy. The C10 has a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2\u003c\/strong\u003e socket and needs a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e cable, and the correct choice is the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A single-phase version\u003c\/a\u003e either way. If your car is a 6.6 kW car, the 32A cable lets it take all 6.6 kW. If it turns out to be an 11 kW car, that 11 kW rating is a three-phase figure, and on a single-phase British house it would draw 7.4 kW, which the same 32A cable delivers in full. One cable covers both outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it changes is the clock. At 6.6 kW the 69.9 kWh battery goes from empty to full in about twelve hours and gains roughly 25 miles of range an hour. At 7.4 kW it would be closer to ten and three quarter hours and 28 miles an hour. Useful to know, not worth a different purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable that does matter is the one to avoid. A 16A cable caps the car at 3.7 kW, which turns a twelve hour charge into more than twenty one hours and cuts you to fourteen miles an hour. On a battery this size that is the difference between a full car in the morning and a part-charged one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeapmotor C10 Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLeapmotor C10, 69.9 kWh, up to 263 miles WLTP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW per Leapmotor UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange Added Per Hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029574327\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029410487\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 14 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWill not finish overnight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029607095\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029443255\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW (car limited)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 25 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest Fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029639863\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029476023\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW (car limited)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 25 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo gain over the 32A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029705399\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable?variant=49094029672631\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 9 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop-ups only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimes use the full 69.9 kWh figure.

It is the same 6.6 kW for more money. That cable earns its keep on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-b10-charging-cable\"\u003eB10\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-b05-charging-cable\"\u003eB05\u003c\/a\u003e, which are genuinely three-phase 11 kW cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA household socket is a different proposition on a 69.9 kWh battery than it is on a small hatchback. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e gives about nine miles an hour, so an overnight stint adds around 115 miles. That is a genuinely useful top-up when you are staying somewhere without a wallbox, and it is IP67 sealed so it can live outside while it works. It is not a way to run a C10 day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe C10 also takes 84 kW DC rapid charging, which needs nothing from you because rapid units carry their own attached cable. Your cable is for the wallbox at home, the post at work, and the untethered Type 2 units that make up most on-street and car park charging in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe charge flap is on the rear left. Lengths run 5m to 20m, and 10m is what most C10 owners choose because the car is 4.7m long and the socket ends up a long way from a wall-mounted box if you park nose in. Cables ship CE and TUV certified, IP55 sealed on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin, rated -30C to 55C, with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable\"\u003eC10 Hybrid EV\u003c\/a\u003e if yours is the range extender version, or the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/leapmotor-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eLeapmotor charging cable range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeapmotor C10 Cable Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSo is the C10 a 6.6 kW car or an 11 kW car?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeapmotor UK's own press material states 6.6 kW, and owners report seeing about that on their wallboxes. The 11 kW figure appears mostly in aggregated specification databases and is documented as an upgrade in some other markets rather than Britain. If you want certainty for your own car, ask your Leapmotor dealer for the build specification sheet. Either way the 32A single-phase cable is the correct buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a C10 charge fully overnight?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom completely empty, no. Twelve hours is longer than most people leave a car plugged in, and longer than a cheap-rate window. In practice you are not charging from zero: going from 20 to 80 percent takes around seven hours on the 32A cable, which fits an overnight charge comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould I buy the three-phase cable in case I upgrade my supply?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for this car. Even with three phases at the wall, the C10's onboard charger only draws from one of them, so the cable makes no difference to the speed. Buy it when you buy a car that can use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 3-pin cable worth having for a C10?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a boot spare, yes. Nine miles an hour will not run the car, but it turns any relative's garage or holiday cottage socket into an overnight 115 mile top-up, and it is the difference between planning your route around chargers and not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is the charging socket on a C10?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind a flap on the rear left wing, roughly level with the rear wheel. It matters for cable length, because on a 4.7m car parked nose in that puts the socket about as far from a driveway wallbox as it can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the same cable fit the C10 Hybrid EV?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both use a Type 2 inlet and both take 6.6 kW, so one 32A cable serves either car. The Hybrid EV has a much smaller battery, so it simply finishes far sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094029410487,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-LEAP-C10","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029443255,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-LEAP-C10","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49094029476023,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-C10","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029508791,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-LEAP-C10","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029541559,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-LEAP-C10","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094029574327,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-LEAP-C10","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029607095,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-LEAP-C10","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49094029639863,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-C10","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":49094029672631,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-LEAP-C10-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":49094029705399,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-LEAP-C10-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_a443c33f-8c6b-4ead-bf19-c038bb7b9682.jpg?v=1788075079","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
