A Nissan Micra charging cable is a new shopping item for a nameplate that ran on petrol for four decades. The Micra sold from 2026 is battery electric, nothing else, and it takes 11 kW on AC on every grade from the entry car upwards. Nissan badges it simply Micra with no EV suffix, which catches people out, but the petrol version was withdrawn in 2023 and there is no fuel filler on this one.
Underneath, this Micra is a Renault 5 E-Tech. Same platform, same battery sizes, and the same front nearside charge port, which is an unusual place to put one. Owners moving across from an older petrol Micra have nothing to carry over, so the cable choice starts from scratch.
Every Nissan Micra takes a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. Type 2 is the AC inlet on both batteries and CCS handles DC through the lower half of the same socket, so the connector end of the decision is closed before you start.
What is genuinely unusual here is that the 11 kW three-phase onboard charger is standard on Engage, Advance and Evolve alike. Plenty of cars at this money give the cheapest grade a slower charger and reserve the quick one for the top of the range. Nissan does not, so a £21,495 Engage charges exactly as fast as an Evolve.
That 11 kW is a three-phase rating, and British houses are wired with one phase. The practical ceiling at home is therefore 7.4 kW, delivered in full by our 1-Phase, 32A cable: about 6 hours from empty on the 40 kWh battery and about 8 on the 52 kWh. A 32A three-phase cable buys nothing on a driveway, because the extra two phases have no supply behind them. Where it does pay is an untethered 22 kW post at work or in a car park, where the Micra pulls its full 11 kW and the 52 kWh battery is done in 5 hours 15 mins.
Skip the 16A cable on this car. It caps the Micra at 3.7 kW, turning that 8 hour charge into 15 hours 45 mins and the 6 hour one into 12 hours 15 mins. In money terms it halves what a cheap overnight tariff is worth to you, from roughly 37 miles of range an hour down to 18 or 19.
A Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable is the one to keep for everywhere else. It draws 2.3 kW from a standard 13A socket, about eleven miles of range an hour, so a night parked at a friend's house is worth roughly 130 miles on the 40 kWh Micra. It is IP67 sealed so it can live outside, and it is worth owning even once a wallbox is fitted at home.
Because the port is on the left front wing, a wallbox mounted beside a house door often ends up behind the car rather than next to the socket. Work out that distance with the Micra parked the way you leave it every night. 5m is fine when the unit sits ahead of the car on the nearside, 10m is the safer answer for nose-in parking or a box on the opposite wall, and 15m and 20m cover long drives and on-street posts.
Range is 198 miles WLTP on the 40 kWh Micra and 260 miles on the 52 kWh, with order books opened in September 2025 and first UK deliveries in January 2026. Elsewhere in the range the Nissan Leaf and the larger Nissan Ariya have their own pages, and the Nissan charging cable range lists the lot. The Renault 5 E-Tech page covers the car this one shares its platform with.
All of it is built to IEC 62196 Type 2, CE certified, rated -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin, IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin. Two year manufacturer's warranty, with free next working day UK delivery.

Both winter temperatures and motorway speeds pull this down.
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
Yes. The Nissan Micra sold from 2026 is battery electric only, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging. The petrol Micra it replaces left production in 2023, and no version of the current car burns fuel, which is why Nissan dropped any EV suffix from the name.
The 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2. It carries 7.4 kW, which is all a single-phase British supply can give a Nissan Micra, and fills the 40 kWh battery in about 6 hours or the 52 kWh in about 8. Buy a Type 2 to 3-Pin cable alongside it for places with no charge point at all.
No. Engage, Advance and Evolve all have the same 11 kW three-phase onboard charger as standard, which is uncommon on a Nissan Micra starting at £21,495. The 52 kWh battery simply takes longer to fill than the 40 kWh one because there is more of it to fill.
Not at a house. A Nissan Micra tops out at 11 kW on AC, so it never draws 22 kW, and behind a single-phase domestic supply a 22kW cable performs identically to the 32A single-phase one at 7.4 kW. Given real three-phase power, such as an untethered workplace post, the car takes its 11 kW and the 52 kWh battery is full in about 5 hours 15 mins.
Yes, using a Type 2 to 3-Pin cable, which pulls 2.3 kW and adds roughly eleven miles of range an hour to a Nissan Micra. Left overnight that is about 130 miles back into the 40 kWh car. Treat it as the answer for a night away rather than a replacement for a wallbox.
At the front of the Nissan Micra on the nearside, in the left front wing, the same unusual arrangement as the Renault 5 E-Tech it shares a platform with. It means a wallbox fitted by a house door frequently sits behind the car instead of alongside the socket, so measure the actual run before choosing between 5m and 10m.

The Nissan Micra is battery electric only, so there is no petrol version to check against. Engage, Advance and Evolve all get the same 11 kW onboard charger, meaning the battery you order changes how long a charge takes and not how fast it goes. A single-phase British home supply holds the car at 7.4 kW, and the 32A single-phase cable passes all of it. Save the 32A three-phase cable for a genuine three-phase supply such as an untethered workplace 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.
