If 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 6.6 kW. It is worth settling before you spend money on a cable, so here is what the disagreement does and does not change.
It does not change which cable you buy. The C10 has a Type 2 socket and needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and the correct choice is the 32A single-phase version 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.
What 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.
The 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.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW per Leapmotor UK
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 21 hours 15 mins | approx. 14 miles | Will not finish overnight |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 12 hours | approx. 25 miles | Best Fit |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 6.6 kW (car limited) | 12 hours | approx. 25 miles | No gain over the 32A |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 34 hours 15 mins | approx. 9 miles | Top-ups only |
Times use the full 69.9 kWh figure. Range added per hour is derived from the car's WLTP efficiency and will fall in cold weather and at motorway speeds.
Because the C10's charger is single phase, the 3-Phase 32A cable gains you nothing here. It is the same 6.6 kW for more money. That cable earns its keep on the B10 and B05, which are genuinely three-phase 11 kW cars.
A household socket is a different proposition on a 69.9 kWh battery than it is on a small hatchback. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin cable 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.
The 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.
The 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.
See the C10 Hybrid EV if yours is the range extender version, or the full Leapmotor charging cable range.
Leapmotor 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.
From 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.
Not 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.
As 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.
Behind 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.
Yes. 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.
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 C10 Style, 2024 on | 69.9 kWh | Type 2 | 6.6 kW, single phase | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A single phase |
| Leapmotor C10 Design, 2024 on | 69.9 kWh | Type 2 | 6.6 kW, single phase | Type 2 to Type 2, 32A single phase |
Both C10 trims share one battery and one charge rate, so there is no specification to check before ordering. Note that some third-party databases list this car at 11 kW. Leapmotor UK states 6.6 kW. The 32A single-phase cable is the right choice on either figure, because 11 kW is a three-phase rating and a British house supplies 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.
