{"product_id":"leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable","title":"Leapmotor C10 Hybrid EV Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe C10 Hybrid EV is not a normal hybrid, and the difference matters when you are choosing a charging cable. The petrol engine never turns the wheels. It is a generator that makes electricity for the electric motor, which is the only thing driving the car. That means a C10 Hybrid EV is always an electric car. The question is only whether the electricity comes from your wallbox or from a tank of petrol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectricity from a cable is far cheaper than electricity made by burning petrol in your own engine. So on this car the charging cable is not an accessory, it is the thing that determines what the car costs to run. An owner who plugs in nightly does almost all their driving on the 94 mile electric range. An owner who never plugs in is running a petrol generator to power an electric motor, which is the most expensive way this car can possibly be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news is that the battery is small enough to make nightly charging easy. It holds \u003cstrong\u003e28.4 kWh\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the car accepts \u003cstrong\u003e6.6 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e through a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2\u003c\/strong\u003e socket. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e lets it take all 6.6 kW, which is empty to full in about five hours and roughly 22 miles of electric range added every hour. Home from work at six, finished before bed, every night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrop to a 16A cable and the car is held at 3.7 kW. Five hours becomes nearly nine, and you gain twelve miles an hour instead of 22. On a car whose whole economic case rests on getting the battery full before you next drive, spending less on the cable is a false saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkip the 3-Phase 32A cable. The C10 Hybrid EV's onboard charger is single phase, so a three-phase cable draws exactly the same 6.6 kW for more money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeapmotor C10 Hybrid EV Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLeapmotor C10 Hybrid EV, 28.4 kWh usable, up to 94 miles on electricity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum onboard AC charging speed: 6.6 kW, single phase\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\u003eElectric Range 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-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029902007\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029738167\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 12 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOvernight only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029934775\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029770935\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW (car limited)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 22 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-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029967543\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094029803703\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW (car limited)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 22 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo gain, spend less\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094030033079\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=49094030000311\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsable but slow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimes use the 28.4 kWh usable capacity.

Because a full charge takes less than a working day, a C10 Hybrid EV can realistically be charged twice in twenty four hours, once at home overnight and once at work or a supermarket post during the day. Two 94 mile electric stints in a day means a high mileage driver can keep the petrol generator switched off far more of the time than a plug-in hybrid with a smaller battery ever manages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e is the sensible boot companion. At 2.3 kW it adds about eight miles an hour, so a full night on a household socket puts back around 100 miles, which on this car is a complete electric range. It is IP67 sealed for outdoor use, so it can sit on a driveway in the rain while it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe charge flap is on the rear left. Lengths run from 5m to 20m, with 10m the usual choice on a 4.7m car. Every cable is 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, and comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-b10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable\"\u003eB10 Hybrid EV\u003c\/a\u003e uses the same technology in a smaller package, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leapmotor-c10-charging-cable\"\u003epure electric C10\u003c\/a\u003e is the same car without the generator.

In a range extender it cannot. The C10 Hybrid EV's engine only ever spins a generator, so the driving experience stays electric whether the battery is full or empty. It also means the car is genuinely dependent on being charged to be economical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I actually have to plug it in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car will drive perfectly well without ever seeing a cable, using petrol to generate its electricity. It will also cost you considerably more per mile than charging it, and you lose the point of buying it. If your circumstances mean you cannot charge at home or at work, a conventional hybrid is a better fit than this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs 6.6 kW fast enough for a battery this size?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, comfortably. 28.4 kWh at 6.6 kW is a five hour job, so the whole battery fits inside an evening, an overnight cheap-rate window, or a working day in a car park. The 6.6 kW ceiling is a real limitation on the 69.9 kWh pure electric C10. Here it barely registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I get by charging on a household socket every night?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMostly, yes. Fourteen hours from empty is more than one night, but you will rarely arrive home empty. A typical evening plugged in at 2.3 kW recovers 80 to 100 miles of electric range, which covers most days. Fit a wallbox and use a 32A cable if you want the battery full in five hours instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the petrol engine refill the battery to full?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is not meant to. The generator maintains a working buffer so the motor always has power, but it does not recharge the pack to 100 percent, because making electricity from petrol is expensive. Getting a full battery is what the cable is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan it rapid charge on a motorway?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt accepts DC rapid charging, but on a range extender there is rarely much reason to use it. A long journey is exactly the situation the generator exists for, so most owners fill the tank and keep moving, then charge on AC at the other end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094029738167,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-LEAP-C10-HEV","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029770935,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-LEAP-C10-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":49094029803703,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-C10-HEV","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029836471,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-LEAP-C10-HEV","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029869239,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-LEAP-C10-HEV","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49094029902007,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-LEAP-C10-HEV","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49094029934775,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-LEAP-C10-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":49094029967543,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-LEAP-C10-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":49094030000311,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-LEAP-C10-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":49094030033079,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-LEAP-C10-HEV-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_d1fa49fb-47d8-4ec6-b417-d673de228530.jpg?v=1788075079","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/leapmotor-c10-hybrid-ev-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
