This is our 5m Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable in 32A three phase form, rated at 22 kW. It is a portable lead with a plug on both ends, one for the charge point socket and one for the car, and it is supplied in all black, black cable and black connectors.
The important thing to understand before ordering is where the 22 kW figure applies. British homes are supplied with a single phase, and a single phase caps out at 7.4 kW. Plug this cable into a home wallbox and it will deliver 7.4 kW, precisely the same as an ordinary 32A single phase lead. Nothing about the three phase construction makes it faster on a driveway.
Three genuine phases exist in other places. A workplace supply, an industrial unit, or a 22 kW AC post in a public car park can all provide them. At one of those, and only if your car's onboard charger is built to accept more than 7.4 kW, this cable lets the car take everything on offer. A car limited to 7.4 kW gains nothing anywhere, because charging always runs at the lowest of three limits: the car, the supply and the cable.
So the decision is simple enough. Buy this if you regularly charge somewhere with a real three phase supply and your car can use it. If you charge at home and at ordinary destination points, our single phase Type 2 to Type 2 cables do the same job at home for less money.
Five metres suits a charge point mounted close to where the car parks. If the post is further away, or you park across a bay from it, choose a longer lead instead.
Built to IEC 62196 Type 2 and sealed to IP55, 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
No. A UK house is fed by a single phase, and 7.4 kW is the ceiling on a single phase supply. This cable delivers 7.4 kW on a home wallbox, exactly like a 32A single phase lead. The 22 kW rating is only reachable where three separate phases are actually present.
At a site with a genuine three phase supply, such as a workplace car park, an industrial unit, or a public 22 kW AC post. Your car also has to be able to use it. If its onboard charger tops out at 7.4 kW, the extra capacity in the cable and the supply goes unused.
Choose the single phase version if you charge at home and at ordinary destination points, because it costs less and performs identically there. Choose this one if you have regular access to a three phase supply and a car whose onboard charger accepts more than 7.4 kW. Otherwise you are paying for capacity you will not reach.
It is if the charge point is close to where you park. Measure from the socket to the charging flap with the car parked as you normally leave it, then allow a spare metre so the lead is not pulled tight. If that comes to more than five metres, take a longer cable rather than stretching this one.
All black, meaning black cable and black connectors at both ends. This is the only finish this cable is made in, so there is no colour option to select at checkout. Other lengths and specifications in our Type 2 range are offered in different colours if that matters to you.
Either one. A Type 2 to Type 2 lead has a matching connector at both ends, so you can plug in whichever way round is convenient. One goes into the socket on the charge point and the other into the car's inlet. Both ends lock in place once charging starts.
| Connector type | Type 2 to Type 2 (IEC 62196-2:2016 2-IIb, Mennekes) |
| Rated current | 16A or 32A single phase, or 32A three phase |
| Max power | 3.7 kW at 16A, 7.4 kW at 32A, 22 kW on three phase |
| Speed at home | 7.4 kW. UK homes are single phase, so an 11 kW or 22 kW car still draws 7.4 kW |
| Range per hour | About 12 miles at 3.7 kW, 25 miles at 7.4 kW |
| Slower supplies | Fine. Charging runs at the lowest limit of the car, the charge point and the cable, so a 32A cable works normally on a 16A supply |
| Voltage | AC 250V single phase, AC 400V three phase, 50Hz |
| Signal current | 2A at 30V |
| Full range | All Type 2 to Type 2 cables |

Title
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.
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.
