Use our car reg compatibility checker to make sure your getting the right charger for you vehicle.
For a Grandland X Hybrid the right product is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and the amperage depends on which onboard charger your car left the factory with. 3.7 kW was standard and 7.4 kW was an option. A 16A cable covers the standard charger fully. A 32A cable covers both, so if you do not know which one you have, 32A is the safe choice.
The plug-in Grandland X, sold as Hybrid4 300 with four wheel drive or Hybrid 225 with front wheel drive from 2020 to 2021, carries a 13.2 kWh battery. On the standard 3.7 kW charger a full charge takes about 4 hours. With the optional 7.4 kW charger and a 32A cable that halves to roughly 2 hours. Neither version has any rapid charging, so the cable in the boot is the only way to fill it.
Vauxhall dropped the X from the name in 2021, but the plug-in hybrid carried on unchanged until 2024, so the same advice applies to those cars.
Now the trap. The Grandland Hybrid launched in early 2024 is a 48V mild hybrid with a 0.9 kWh battery and no charging port whatsoever. It shares almost the same name as the plug-in and it cannot be charged. If your car is a 2024 or later and the badge simply reads Hybrid, walk round it and look for a charging flap before buying anything.
From 2025 there is a proper plug-in again, the Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 225, with a much larger 21 kWh pack and 17.9 kWh usable. Same 3.7 kW charger as standard and the same 7.4 kW option, so a full charge is about 5 hours 30 minutes or 2 hours 45 minutes respectively.
The Grandland Electric from late 2024 is the full battery car, with 73 kWh usable. Vauxhall does not publish an AC rating in its own material and we believe it to be 11 kW, so we would rather flag that than promise it. A 32A cable gives you 7.4 kW at home and around 11 hours 15 minutes from empty.
Every Type 2 to Type 2 cable we sell is IP55 rated and our 3 pin cables are IP67, all 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
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The plug-in Grandland X of 2020 and 2021, in both Hybrid4 300 and Hybrid 225 form, has a Type 2 socket and a 13.2 kWh battery. Pick 32A if you want the cable to suit the optional 7.4 kW charger as well as the 3.7 kW standard one.
16A delivers 3.7 kW, which matches the standard onboard charger exactly and fills the 13.2 kWh battery in about 4 hours. 32A delivers 7.4 kW and halves that to roughly 2 hours, but only on cars fitted with the optional charger. If you are unsure which yours has, buy 32A and you are covered.
About 4 hours from empty with the standard 3.7 kW charger, or roughly 2 hours if your car has the optional 7.4 kW unit. A 3 pin lead needs around 6 hours 30 minutes. The 2025 Plug-in Hybrid 225 has a larger 17.9 kWh usable pack, so allow 5 hours 30 minutes or 2 hours 45 minutes.
No. The Grandland Hybrid introduced in early 2024 is a 48V mild hybrid with a 0.9 kWh battery topped up by the engine and the brakes, and it has no charging port. Only the plug-in hybrids and the Grandland Electric accept a cable, so check for a charging flap before ordering.
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A. The Grandland Electric arrived in late 2024 with 73 kWh usable and a CCS socket alongside the Type 2 inlet. At home you get 7.4 kW and about 11 hours 15 minutes from empty. Vauxhall does not state the car's AC rating in its own material.
Not on the plug-in hybrids. Their onboard charger caps at 3.7 kW or 7.4 kW, so a three phase cable delivers exactly what a single phase 32A one does. It would only matter on the Grandland Electric, and even then only at a three phase post, since UK homes are single phase and limited to 7.4 kW.

Grandland is the name that catches people out most often in the Vauxhall range, because four versions share it and one of them cannot be charged at all. The Grandland X Hybrid4 300 and Hybrid 225 of 2020 and 2021 are plug-in hybrids with a Type 2 socket. The Grandland Hybrid launched in early 2024 is a 48V mild hybrid with a 0.9 kWh battery and no charging port, so no cable will do anything for it. The Grandland Electric from late 2024 is the full electric car. And the Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 225 from 2025 is a genuine plug-in again, with a much larger 21 kWh battery. If your car simply says Hybrid and it is a 2024 or later, check for a charging flap before you buy anything.

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.
