{"product_id":"volkswagen-tiguan-ehybrid-charging-cable","title":"Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid charging cable is a Type 2 to Type 2, but which one to buy turns entirely on the year, because Volkswagen tripled the AC rate in 2024. The 2021 to 2024 car takes \u003cstrong\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 2024 on car takes \u003cstrong\u003e11 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. Work out which is on your driveway before spending anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth generations use a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and neither shares that inlet with the petrol, diesel or eTSI mild-hybrid Tiguans, which have no charging socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst job: work out which Tiguan eHybrid you have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe registration year settles it. A Tiguan eHybrid registered up to 2024 is the older car: 245PS only, 10.4 kWh per Volkswagen UK, and around 30 miles of electric range. From late 2024 the current car arrived with 25.7 kWh, a choice of 204PS or 272PS, and up to 77 miles. The dashboard gives it away too. A full battery showing a range figure in the seventies is the new one. Thirty means the old one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have the newer car, buy the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A single-phase Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e. Volkswagen quotes 11 kW for it, and states plainly that this is an increase from 3.6 kW, but 11 kW is a three-phase number. British houses are wired with a single phase, so the car draws 7.4 kW at home and the 32A single-phase cable delivers all of it. That is about 3 hours from empty, against 6 hours on a 16A cable. The 32A three-phase version is only worth the money behind a real three-phase supply, where the car takes its full 11 kW and finishes in roughly 2 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have the older car, spend less. At 3.6 kW the 2021 to 2024 Tiguan eHybrid cannot draw more current than a 16A cable already provides, so a 32A cable fills it in exactly the same 3 hours 15 minutes and the extra outlay buys nothing whatsoever. Buy the 16A. We would rather say that than sell you capacity your car is incapable of using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e makes sense as a second cable on either generation. It runs at 2.3 kW, filling the older Tiguan eHybrid in about 5 hours and the newer one in about 9 hours 45 minutes, so both recover during a normal night from a household socket. It is IP67 sealed, so trailing it out of a garage door in the wet is fine, and it is what turns a weekend at a cottage with no charge point into a non-event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth generations put the charging socket in the \u003cstrong\u003efront nearside wing\u003c\/strong\u003e, ahead of the door and behind the front wheel arch, not behind the badge on the grille as several rivals do. That matters for length. Nose into a driveway with the wallbox on the house wall and the flap ends up close to it, so 5m does the job. Reverse in, or take the far side of a shared bay, and the socket is suddenly at the far end of a 4.5m SUV, which is 10m territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe other Volkswagen plug-in hybrids run to their own figures.

The 2024 on car should have the 32A single-phase cable, because it accepts 7.4 kW at home. The 2021 to 2024 car is limited to 3.6 kW and only needs the cheaper 16A version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does my older Tiguan eHybrid charge so much slower?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the 2021 to 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid has a 3.6 kW onboard charger, less than a third of the 11 kW fitted to the 2024 on car. Volkswagen describes the new model as an increase from 3.6 kW for exactly that reason. Nothing you plug into the older car gets past its 3.6 kW limit: not a thicker cable, not a more powerful wallbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 32A cable worth buying for a 2022 Tiguan eHybrid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid charges at 3.6 kW, which a 16A cable already supplies in full, so the 32A cable finishes at the same 3 hours 15 minutes and the extra spend achieves precisely nothing. Buy the 16A cable and put the difference towards a Type 2 to 3-Pin cable for trips away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWould a three-phase cable speed up a new Tiguan eHybrid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly on a three-phase supply. The 2024 on Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid is rated at 11 kW across three phases, and a UK house is fed by one phase, so at home it charges at 7.4 kW whichever 32A cable is plugged in. Where three phases genuinely exist, usually a workplace, the car takes the full 11 kW and fills in about 2 hours instead of 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a Tiguan eHybrid take on a household socket?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid takes roughly 5 hours on a three-pin socket if it is the 10.4 kWh 2021 to 2024 car, and about 9 hours 45 minutes if it is the 19.7 kWh usable 2024 on car. The Type 2 to 3-Pin cable draws 2.3 kW, giving around 7 miles an hour on the older model and 9 on the newer one, so either refills across a normal night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length cable does a Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the wallbox to the front nearside wing of the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid, where the charging flap sits, in the position you genuinely park in. Nose-in parking alongside a wall-mounted box usually suits 5m. Reversing in puts the socket at the far end of a 4.5m SUV, so 10m is the safer pick, with 15m and 20m there for detached garages and long driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49105599463607,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49105599496375,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49105599529143,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49105599561911,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49105599594679,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49105599627447,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49105599660215,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49105599692983,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49105599725751,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49105599758519,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-VW-TIGUAN-EHYBRID-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_8b6a10aa-bfa8-46e4-a429-2798f93ed26c.jpg?v=1788366688","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/volkswagen-tiguan-ehybrid-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
