For nearly every Nissan Ariya owner the answer is the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Every UK Ariya, from the entry 63 kWh Engage to the NISMO, uses a Type 2 socket, so fit is never in question. What the 32A cable does is let the car pull the full 7.4 kW that a British home supply can deliver, and that is the fastest any Ariya will charge on a driveway.
Trim badges are a red herring here. What matters is the battery and whether the first owner ticked one box. The 63 kWh cars come with a 7.4 kW onboard charger as standard, though Nissan sold a 22 kW upgrade for £895 on the Advance, Shiro and Evolve versions. Every 87 kWh car, including the e-4ORCE four wheel drive models and the NISMO, has that 22 kW charger fitted from the factory.
The 22 kW figure needs putting in context, because it is easy to overpay for it. It is a three phase rating. Homes in Britain are wired single phase, which stops the supply at 7.4 kW no matter how capable the car is, so a 22 kW Ariya and a 7.4 kW Ariya charge at exactly the same speed on your own charge point. The 22 kW only appears on a three phase post, which in practice means a workplace or a commercial site.
Battery size is what changes the clock. On a 32A cable, a 63 kWh Ariya takes about 9 hours 45 minutes from empty and an 87 kWh car about 13 hours 15 minutes. If you have the larger battery and access to three phase power at work, the 32A three phase cable is a genuine upgrade, cutting that to around 4 hours 30 minutes. It also drops back to 7.4 kW at home, so it is not a wasted purchase either way.
The 16A cable is a poor match for this car. Holding an 87 kWh pack to 3.7 kW turns a full charge into more than a day. Treat the Type 2 to 3 Pin cable the same way: at 2.3 kW it is for holiday cottages, family visits and the odd emergency, never as your main lead.
Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, our Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, and both come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
Ariya 63 kWh, Engage, Advance, Shiro and Evolve
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 31 hours | Emergency use only |
| Type 2 to Type 2 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 19 hours 15 minutes | Too slow for daily use |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 9 hours 45 minutes | Buy this one |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A three phase (5m / 10m) | 22 kW only with the optional charger, 7.4 kW at home | 3 hours 15 minutes on three phase | Only if the £895 upgrade was fitted |
Ariya 87 kWh, including e-4ORCE and NISMO
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 42 hours 45 minutes | Emergency use only |
| Type 2 to Type 2 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 26 hours 30 minutes | Not practical on this battery |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 13 hours 15 minutes | Buy this one for home |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A three phase (5m / 10m) | 22 kW on three phase, 7.4 kW at home | 4 hours 30 minutes on three phase | Worth it if you use three phase posts |
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, CE marked, and work from -30°C to +50°C. Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67 rated, CE marked and work from -30°C to +60°C.
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
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in 32A. Every UK Ariya has a Type 2 inlet and every one of them will accept 7.4 kW, which is the most a single phase home supply can give. The 32A cable carries exactly that, so it is the right choice on the 63 kWh car and the 87 kWh car alike.
From empty on a 32A cable, roughly 9 hours 45 minutes for the 63 kWh battery and roughly 13 hours 15 minutes for the 87 kWh battery. The larger car therefore needs more than one night from flat, although most owners plug in well before empty and only add what the day used.
If it has the 87 kWh battery, yes, it is standard on every one including e-4ORCE and NISMO. On a 63 kWh car it was a £895 option, fitted only to Advance, Shiro and Evolve trims, so check the original order or ask a Nissan dealer with your registration before buying a three phase cable.
It depends entirely on where you charge. On three phase power an 87 kWh Ariya goes from empty in about 4 hours 30 minutes rather than 13 hours 15 minutes, which is a real difference at a workplace. At home it gives you nothing, because your supply cannot exceed 7.4 kW whatever cable is attached.
We would not recommend it. A 16A cable limits the car to 3.7 kW, which stretches a full charge on the 87 kWh battery to about 26 hours 30 minutes. Even on the 63 kWh car it means roughly 19 hours 15 minutes. Only choose 16A if the socket you use genuinely cannot supply more.
Five metres is enough where the charge point faces the Ariya's socket directly. Ten metres covers awkward parking, kerbside units and shared bays. We also list 15m and 20m in 32A for long driveways, detached garages and farm buildings. Length has no effect on the 7.4 kW the car receives.

Trim level does not decide your cable, the battery does. Every UK Ariya has a Type 2 socket, so any Type 2 to Type 2 cable will fit. What changes is how fast the car will accept power. The 63 kWh cars have a 7.4 kW onboard charger unless the first owner paid the £895 for the 22 kW upgrade, which Nissan offered on any 63 kWh trim. Every 87 kWh car has the 22 kW charger as standard. Worth knowing before you spend more than you need to: a UK home supply is single phase, so even a 22 kW Ariya charges at 7.4 kW at home. The 22 kW only appears on a three-phase public post.

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.
