Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase, 22 kW (5m / 10m)
The MG4 accepts up to 11 kW on AC. This cable carries the fastest version of the car at full speed and works on any three-phase charge point you meet.
Only charging at home? A British house is single phase, so the car draws 7.4 kW whatever cable is plugged into it. The 32A single-phase cable (5m / 10m / 15m / 20m) gives you all of that for less money.
MG has moved the three phase charger around the MG4 range, so the badge and year are worth checking. The 2022 to 2025 SE Long Range, Trophy Long Range and Trophy Extended Range accept 11 kW on three phases, while the 51 kWh SE, the XPower and the 2026 Premium cars are 7 kW single phase. All of them use a Type 2 inlet and draw about 7 kW from a UK home, where one phase stops at 7.4 kW. On that supply a 64 kWh Long Range fills from empty in about 10 hours.
UK owners report many new MG4s arriving with a three pin lead and no Type 2 cable at all, which leaves them without a lead for a socketed wallbox or an untethered public charger. The flap sits on the rear left corner, so reversing in usually needs 5 metres and driving in needs 10, while the 15m and 20m 32A cables cover a shared courtyard, a detached garage or a street frontage. If the granny lead is the one missing, our Type 2 to 3 Pin replaces it, RCD protected and with a lower current setting for an old ring main.
The estate that came before it is on the MG5 charging cable page, and the whole marque is gathered in MG EV charging cables.

The MG4 EV Urban, on sale since February 2026, is not tabled because its figures rest on fewer sources. EV Database gives 52.8 kWh usable and 258 miles WLTP for the 54 kWh Long Range, 41.9 kWh usable and 201 miles for the 43 kWh Standard Range, and 11 kW AC on both, which the RAC's road test repeats. At 7 kW the Long Range Urban takes about 8 hours 30 minutes from empty and the Standard Range 6 hours 45 minutes, gaining about 34 miles an hour; at 11 kW on a three phase post those fall to 5 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 15 minutes. The single phase figure of 7 kW is MG's own; EV Database lists 6.6 kW and owners read 6.6 to 6.9 kW on a wallbox display, so a full charge may run twenty minutes longer than shown. Battery capacities and WLTP miles are MG UK's published figures for each pack. A frozen windscreen in the morning and a fast run up the A1 will both knock miles off the range column.

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
The 2022 to 2025 MG4 SE Long Range, Trophy Long Range and Trophy Extended Range, and every version of the 2026 MG4 EV Urban, accept 11 kW on three phase AC. The 51 kWh SE Standard Range, the XPower and the 2026 MG4 Premium Long Range and Premium Extended Range carry a single phase charger of about 7 kW, whatever the model year. MG's brochures mostly quote the 7 kW home figure alone, which is why the 11 kW is so often missed, but owners of 64 kWh and 77 kWh Long Range cars measure 9.5 to 10.5 kW at three phase posts. If you are unsure, look inside the Type 2 inlet: an 11 kW MG4 has metal pins in the two lower L2 and L3 positions, a 7 kW car has empty holes there.
Yes. An 11 kW MG4 draws about 7 kW from a single phase, which is all most UK homes can supply, and the 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable carries 7.4 kW, so it hands the car everything the supply can give. A 64 kWh MG4 Trophy Long Range charges from empty in about 10 hours on it and a 77 kWh Trophy Extended Range in about 12. The 11 kW figure only comes into play at a three phase charge point, and there the three phase cable is the one to plug in.
None at all. An MG4 SE Standard Range, an MG4 XPower and any 2026 MG4 Premium have a single phase onboard charger, so the 32A three phase cable delivers about 7 kW into them on a driveway and the same 7 kW at a three phase post, exactly matching the cheaper single phase cable. The extra two live pins in the cable have nothing to feed on those cars. The three phase lead is only worth paying for on the 11 kW MG4s, and even then only where three phases reach the socket.
Roughly 224 miles on a 64 kWh MG4 Long Range across a seven hour off peak window at 7 kW, about 210 miles on a 77 kWh Extended Range or a 51 kWh SE, and about 238 miles on a 54 kWh MG4 EV Urban, all on the 32A single phase cable. Those seven hours put around 43 kWh into the battery, so an SE Standard Range is full from almost any starting point, a Long Range is full from about a quarter and an Extended Range from about 40 percent. On the 16A cable the same window returns 112 to 126 miles.
Usually not, going by UK owner reports, since MG UK publishes no statement on what comes with an MG4. Most new MG4s arrive with a 3 pin granny cable only, some dealers add a Type 2 to Type 2 cable as part of the deal, and for a few months in 2023 cars came with a Type 2 lead instead because granny cables were scarce. The MG Type 2 cable, where supplied, is single phase. A used MG4 may have neither, so check before the home charger is fitted.
A 5 metre cable suits an MG4 reversed onto a drive with the wallbox on the passenger side, near the rear left charge flap of a car 4.29 metres long. A 10 metre cable is the one for nose in parking, a wallbox on the driver's side, or a kerbside charge, because the lead then has to travel past the full length of the hatchback and round the back. The MG4 EV Urban's socket sits on the front left wing according to EV Database, which reverses that advice: nose in is the short run and reversing in is the long one.

This is the one MG4 fact worth reading properly, because most spec websites get it wrong and it costs owners money. The entry SE Standard Range has a 6.6 kW single-phase charger. Every other MG4, the SE Long Range, Trophy, Extended Range and XPOWER, has an 11 kW three-phase charger. EV Database lists 6.6 kW for all of them, which is incorrect, and owners on the MG forums have measured Long Range cars pulling around 10 kW on three phase. Why it matters: if you have a Long Range or Trophy and you plug a single-phase cable into a 22 kW three-phase public post, you get roughly a third of the power available to you. At home on a single-phase supply every MG4 charges at around 7 kW, so a standard 32A cable is right for the driveway.

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 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. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
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 reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. 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 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
