The Seat Mii electric wants a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Its onboard charger accepts 7.2 kW, and a 16A cable can only hand it 3.7 kW, so the cheaper lead would leave half the car's ability unused every night.
There is only one electric Mii and it ran from 2020 to 2021, so there is no generation puzzle to solve here. The pack is 36.8 kWh gross with 32.3 kWh usable, and on a 32A cable a full charge takes about five hours. Seat quoted roughly four hours to 80 per cent, which is the figure most owners actually plan around, since few people run a battery flat before plugging in.
What does confuse buyers is that this car was built three times over. The Volkswagen e-up! and the Skoda Citigo-e iV came off the same line with the same 32.3 kWh usable battery and the same 7.2 kW charger. If you own any of the three, this cable is the one you need. One detail differs between them, though it has no bearing on your purchase: CCS rapid charging was standard on the Mii electric and the e-up!, but not fitted to every Citigo-e iV, so some Skodas have none at all. Rapid charging happens on DC through a separate part of the inlet, using a lead attached to the charge point.
We also stock a three phase 22 kW version of the cable. On this car it does nothing. The Mii is quoted at 7.2 kW and will not ask for more, and a UK domestic supply is single phase anyway, which puts a hard 7.4 kW ceiling on home charging. Save the money and take the 32A single phase cable.
A 3 pin cable is worth keeping in the boot for nights away from a charge point. At 2.3 kW it needs somewhere near sixteen hours to fill the battery from empty, so it is a supplement rather than a substitute for a proper wallbox lead.
The petrol Mii, the 1.0 MPI sold from 2011 to 2019, has no charging port and takes no cable at all. If your Mii has an exhaust pipe, nothing on this page applies to it.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin: 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 15h45m | Keep as a spare, not a daily method |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A: 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 10h00m | Holds the car to half its charging speed |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: 5m or 10m | 7.2 kW, the car's own limit | 5h00m. About 4 hours to 80 per cent | Best fit |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase: 5m or 10m | 22 kW cable, car still takes 7.2 kW | 5h00m, no quicker | No benefit on the Mii |
Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67. The 32A single phase cable is also stocked in 15m and 20m. All are CE certified and come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
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.

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in the 32A version. The Mii electric takes 7.2 kW on AC and holds 32.3 kWh usable, so a 32A lead fills it from empty in about five hours. Seat also quoted around four hours to 80 per cent, which covers most overnight charges comfortably.
Yes, clearly. A 16A cable supplies 3.7 kW, roughly half of the 7.2 kW the Mii will accept, so a full charge stretches from about five hours to ten. The price difference is small next to five hours a night. Only pick 16A if your charge point cannot supply more.
No. The Mii electric is limited to 7.2 kW by its own onboard charger, so a three phase cable gives it nothing extra even at a three phase post. Homes in Britain are single phase and cap charging at 7.4 kW regardless. The 32A single phase cable already reaches the car's limit.
Yes. The Volkswagen e-up! and Skoda Citigo-e iV are the same car as the Mii electric, sharing the 32.3 kWh usable pack, the Type 2 socket and the 7.2 kW charger. One cable serves all three. Only the fitment of CCS rapid charging differs, and that does not affect your AC cable.
No. The 1.0 MPI petrol Mii built between 2011 and 2019 has no battery pack and no charging port, so no cable will connect to it. Seat only made the Mii electric from 2020. If your car has a fuel filler and no charge flap, it needs nothing from this page.
Usually. The Mii is a short car, so 5m reaches most home wallboxes when it parks alongside. Choose 10m if you charge on the street, back into a space, or use a shared post several bays away. Longer 15m and 20m versions of the 32A cable are stocked too.

The Mii electric is one of three identical cars: it is the same vehicle as the Volkswagen e-up! and the Skoda Citigo-e iV, built on the same line with the same 36.8 kWh pack and the same 7.2 kW onboard charger. If you own any of the three, the cable is the same. One difference worth knowing, though it does not affect your cable: CCS rapid charging was standard on the Mii electric and the e-up!, but only fitted to some Citigo-e iV cars, so a Citigo may have no rapid charging at all. For AC charging, a 32A Type 2 cable is the right buy. The car will draw 7.2 kW, so a 16A cable would hold it back.

Cable Type:
How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
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.
