A Skoda Elroq charging cable is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead, and one specification covers the whole range: the Elroq 50, 60, 85 and vRS all carry the same 11 kW onboard AC charger, so every version takes 7.4 kW from a UK home wallbox. Skoda UK quotes the domestic figure for its compact electric SUV itself, 7.2 kW at 32 amps, and confirms 11 kW for the vRS on three phase. Battery size changes how many hours a charge takes; it never changes which cable the car wants, and the achievable charging power at home is 7.4 kW on every one of them. On sale in the UK since January 2025 in SE L, Edition, SportLine and vRS trim, with the Elroq 50 sold from launch until early 2026, the Elroq is the rare electric car where the buyer has nothing to look up before choosing an amperage. That leaves length as the one real decision on this page.

Home charging: which Skoda Elroq charging cable to buy

The cable that reaches the home ceiling: 32A single phase. Sold under the label 32amp (7.2kW), it moves the full 7.4 kW a single phase wallbox can push into an Elroq, and it is the same lead whether you drive the 52 kWh Elroq 50 or the 79 kWh vRS. Ohme, Zappi, Pod Point and the other socketed home chargers fitted in the UK all take the same Type 2 connector, so the cable needs no installation and outlives the wallbox. Scheduling, load balancing and off peak tariff timers are the charger's job; the cable is compatible with all of them and simply carries the power. The one that works but gains nothing on a driveway: 32A three phase. At home the Elroq cannot tell it apart from the single phase cable, because the house only feeds one of its three live cores. Where a real three phase supply exists, usually at work, the car takes its full 11 kW and an Elroq 85 comes down from 12 hours to 8. Buy it for that site, not for the number on the label. The one that leaves range behind: 16A. Labelled 16amp (3.6kW), it caps the Elroq at 3.7 kW, so a seven hour window of cheap rate electricity returns about 119 miles to an Elroq 85 instead of about 245, and a full charge stretches past 24 hours. Cheap in the basket, expensive on the tariff. Our own range says the same thing in a different way: the 15 metre and 20 metre Elroq cables are made in the 32A single phase rating only, because that is the one an Elroq owner should be buying.

Now the decision that actually varies from one Elroq owner to the next. The charge flap is on the right hand rear quarter and the car is 4.49 metres long. Back the Elroq onto the drive with the wallbox mounted on the driver's side and a 5 metre cable does it. Park nose first, or charge from a socket on the far wall of the house, and the lead has to run past a rear door, two wheels and the bonnet before it reaches the box, which is a 10 metre job. The 15 metre and 20 metre cables suit a shared bay, a wallbox on a garage set back from the drive, or a communal car park post two spaces away. Measure from the flap to the socket along the route the cable will lie, with the second car parked where it normally sits. Length does not change the charging power on any of these cables, so the choice is about reach and convenience alone.

There should already be a cable in the boot. Skoda UK states that a 6 metre Mode 3 Type 2 cable is supplied as standard with its electric cars, and Elroq owners confirm it arrives in the underfloor boot tray. Two things follow. First, a 5 metre cable from us is shorter than the one you have, so the upgrade case is 10 metres or more, or a second lead to leave at work. Skoda lists a fitted charging cable case among its Elroq charging accessories, and whether you buy one or not that tray is where both leads live. Second, nothing in it plugs into a wall socket. The Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable fills that gap for the Elroq as it does for any electric vehicle with a Type 2 inlet: 2.3 kW from a standard 230 volt 13 amp socket, about 11 miles of range an hour, a Type B RCD built into its control box and a dial that drops the current for an older ring main. On a 79 kWh battery it is a two night proposition from empty, which is why it belongs in the boot for holiday cottages and relatives' driveways rather than on the wall at home.

The larger car on the same platform is covered at Skoda Enyaq charging cable, and the full brand listing is Skoda charging cables. Warranty first, because it is the figure most cables get wrong: 2 years, manufacturer's, on both leads sold here. Free next working day delivery covers the whole of the UK, and a wrong guess on length can come back within 30 days at no cost. On build standards, the Type 2 to Type 2 meets IEC 62196-2 with CE certification, IP55 sealing that protects it from a winter on the driveway in any weather, and a working range of -30C to +50C, while the Type 2 to 3-Pin meets IEC 62752, is CE marked, IP67 sealed and rated from -30C to +60C.

Skoda Elroq Charging Times by Battery

Elroq 85 and Elroq vRS, 2026 model year on, 79 kWh usable, up to 370 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, 7.4 kW single phase

Elroq 60, 2026 model year on, 58 kWh usable, up to 279 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, 7.4 kW single phase

Elroq 50, sold 2025 to 2026, 52 kWh usable, up to 232 miles WLTP

Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, 7.4 kW single phase

Cars registered in 2025 carry the earlier packs: 77 kWh usable and up to 360 miles on the Elroq 85, 59 kWh and up to 265 miles on the Elroq 60, which takes 11 hours 45 minutes and 9 hours respectively on the 32A cable. The 2026 Elroq 60 moved to an LFP battery of 58 kWh and the Elroq 50 left the UK price list in the same update. The AC charger did not change on any of them. A cold battery and a long stretch of dual carriageway both eat into the hourly figure.
