A Type 2 to 3 pin charging cable turns any ordinary household socket into a charge point. It is the lead to buy if your wall box has not been installed yet, if you park somewhere a fixed charger cannot reach, or if you simply want something in the boot for the nights you end up staying away. One end is a standard UK 3 pin plug, the other is a Type 2 connector built to IEC 62196, the Mennekes standard.
Delivered power is around 2.4 kW, so the sensible way to choose is by the size of your battery. On a plug-in hybrid holding 8 to 15 kWh usable this is a genuine primary charger: four to seven hours from empty, which sits comfortably inside a normal night with hours to spare. A small electric car with 20 to 40 kWh takes nine to nineteen hours from flat, so treat it as an overnight top up in the week and a full charge across a weekend. A mid size car with 50 to 65 kWh needs twenty four to thirty one hours from empty, and a large SUV or saloon with 70 to 100 kWh needs thirty three to forty seven hours. On the bigger cars a twelve hour night adds around one hundred miles, which is why they are better served by daily top ups than by charging from flat.
The current setting is adjustable, and that matters more than it first sounds. Older house wiring and outbuilding sockets do not all enjoy holding the same load for hours on end, so being able to dial the draw down keeps everything comfortable. Turn it down for a socket you are unsure about, and back up when you are on a circuit you trust.
The cable is rated IP67, which is the highest weatherproof rating we fit, so a wet driveway overnight is no trouble at all. It runs from minus thirty to plus sixty five degrees and stores down to minus forty. Every lead is CE certified and comes 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.
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
Around 2.4 kW from a standard household socket. On a plug-in hybrid carrying 8 to 15 kWh usable that means a full charge in four to seven hours. A mid size electric car with 50 to 65 kWh would need twenty four to thirty one hours from completely flat, so on larger batteries it is used for top ups.
Any vehicle with a Type 2 inlet, which covers nearly every electric car and plug-in hybrid sold in Britain. The car end is a Type 2 connector made to IEC 62196, the Mennekes standard, so if the socket behind your charging flap matches that shape the cable fits. Older cars with a Type 1 inlet need a different lead.
Yes. This lead carries an IP67 weatherproof rating, the highest we fit to any cable, so rain and a wet driveway overnight are not a concern. It also operates from minus thirty to plus sixty five degrees and stores down to minus forty, so leaving it in the boot through a cold snap does it no harm.
It lets you raise or lower the draw to suit whatever socket you are plugged into. An older house circuit or an outbuilding supply is happier with a lower setting held for several hours, while a modern, well protected socket will take more. A lower setting charges more slowly but asks less of the wiring.
Alongside one, unless you drive a plug-in hybrid. A hybrid pack of 8 to 15 kWh fills overnight with time in hand, so many owners never need anything else. A 70 to 100 kWh SUV needs thirty three to forty seven hours from empty and picks up about a hundred miles in a twelve hour night, which is a top up rather than a charge.
Five metres suits a socket in a garage or on an outside wall close to where you park. Ten metres is the usual pick when the socket is indoors and the lead has to run out through a doorway or around the car. Fifteen metres covers long driveways, shared yards and awkward parking angles.

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.
