{"product_id":"renault-5-e-tech-charging-cable","title":"Renault 5 E-Tech Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Renault 5 E-Tech is one of the easier cars to buy a cable for, once you know one number. It takes \u003cstrong\u003e11 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that figure is the same whether you have the 40 kWh Urban Range or the 52 kWh Comfort Range. Battery size changes how long the charge takes, not how fast the car will accept it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Renault 5 E-Tech uses a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no Type 1 version, so the connector choice is settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kW figure is a three-phase rating. UK homes are single-phase, so on a home wallbox the car draws a maximum of 7.4 kW.

The 3-Phase 32A cable is rated to 22 kW and will work perfectly, but the car caps itself at 11 kW, so it only earns its money if you have a genuine three-phase supply at home or at work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable limits the car to 3.7 kW, which roughly doubles your charging time for a small saving.

That is 7.4 kW, the fastest a UK single-phase home supply can give the car. Pick the length that reaches your charge point comfortably and go one size longer if you are unsure. If you have no wallbox, the Type 2 to 3-Pin cable lets you charge from an ordinary socket instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 3-Phase 22kW cable worth it for a Renault 5?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if you have a three-phase supply. The Renault 5 accepts 11 kW maximum, so a 22kW cable cannot push more than 11 kW into the car. On three phase that 11 kW takes a 52 kWh Comfort Range from empty to full in about 5 hours instead of 8. On single phase, which is nearly every UK home, the 22kW cable behaves exactly like the 32A single-phase one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the 40 kWh Renault 5 charge slower than the 52 kWh?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both accept 11 kW on AC. The 40 kWh car simply finishes sooner because there is less battery to fill, roughly 6 hours on a 7.4 kW home wallbox against 8 hours for the 52 kWh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length cable do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from your charge point to where the charging flap sits when the car is parked, then allow slack so the cable hangs without strain. 5m suits a wallbox beside the parking space. 10m is the most popular choice and covers most driveways. 15m and 20m exist for detached garages, shared parking and charge points on the wrong side of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a third-party cable affect my Renault warranty?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A cable built to the IEC 62196 Type 2 standard and carrying CE and TUV certification does not affect your vehicle warranty. Ours carry a two-year manufacturer's warranty of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I leave the cable outside?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and our Type 2 to 3-Pin cables are IP67 rated. Both operate from -30C to 55C, so the cable can live in the boot or on the driveway all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ev Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091807445175,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091807477943,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091807510711,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091807543479,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091807576247,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49091807609015,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49091807641783,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49091807674551,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-RENAULT-5-E-TECH","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":49091807707319,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-RENAULT-5-E-TECH-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":49091807740087,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-RENAULT-5-E-TECH-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_0f942f5e-d02d-49d9-853c-ea95647bb5ed.jpg?v=1787952428","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/renault-5-e-tech-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
