15m EV Charging Cables
Quick recommendation
The 15m sits between our 10m and 20m cables, and it is the length most people reach for when a 10m almost works but not quite. Awkward driveways, a charge point behind the car rather than beside it, or public bays where you cannot choose which way you park.
We offer the 15m in two forms, and they do different jobs:
- Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: up to 7.4 kW, for home wallboxes and public charge points. This is the one most drivers want.
- Type 2 to 3 Pin, 6 to 12A adjustable: up to 2.3 kW from an ordinary UK 13A socket, with no wallbox needed. Slower, but it plugs in anywhere. More on charging from a domestic socket.
Does 15m charge more slowly than 5m? No. Voltage drop over a correctly rated 15m cable is negligible, and your charge rate is set by the car's onboard charger and the charge point, not by cable length. The full explanation is here: do longer EV cables take longer to charge?
The trade off is weight and storage rather than speed. A 15m 32A cable is heavier to coil than a 5m, so it is worth being honest about whether you need the reach before paying for it. Coiled, it takes up a fair share of a boot cubby, which is why many owners pair one with a cable bag to keep the connectors clean.
Need a different length? We stock 5m and 10m cables, or you can step up to our 20m extra long EV charging cable, the longest length we sell.
Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and our Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67 rated. What the IP rating means. Our cables are built to the IEC 62196 Type 2 standard and hold CE safety certification, backed by a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.
15m Charging Cable Speeds
These are the two specifications we supply in 15m, and what each delivers. Your car will charge at whichever is lower, its own onboard limit or the figure below.
| Specification | Max Charge Rate | Range Added Per Hour | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to Type 2, 1 Phase, 32A (15m) | 7.4 kW | Around 25 miles | Home wallbox and public Type 2 charge points |
| Type 2 to 3 Pin, 6 to 12A adjustable (15m) | 2.3 kW | Around 8 miles | Standard UK 13A socket, no wallbox required |
We do not offer the 15m in a 16A or a three phase 22 kW specification. If you need three phase charging, our 10m cable is available in 32A three phase.
15m EV Charging Cable FAQs
Who actually needs a 15m cable?
Drivers whose charge point and charging port refuse to line up. Long or angled driveways, a wallbox fitted round the side of the house, a shared parking court, or a car that has to reverse in. If a 10m reaches with room to spare, save the money and the bulk and stay at 10m.
Do I lose any power over 15 metres?
Nothing you would notice. The conductors are sized for 32 amps, so voltage drop across 15m is tiny and the cable still delivers its full 7.4 kW. Speed is decided by the lowest limit in the chain instead: your vehicle's onboard charger, the supply feeding the charge point, and the cable's own amp rating.
How do I check 15m is enough before ordering?
Park exactly as you normally would, then run a tape measure from the charge point socket along the floor and round the bodywork to the car's charging port. Never measure the straight line across the bonnet. Add a metre or two of slack so the cable hangs in a gentle loop rather than pulling tight on the connector.
Why is there no 16A or three phase version in 15m?
Demand at this length is almost entirely for the 32A single phase cable, so that is what we stock. UK homes are single phase and cap out at 7.4 kW anyway, which is exactly what the 32A version delivers. If you specifically need 22 kW three phase, our 10m is offered in that specification.
Can I leave 15m of cable on a wet driveway?
Yes while charging. The Type 2 to Type 2 version is IP55 rated and the Type 2 to 3 Pin version is IP67 rated, so rain and grit are not an issue. Do not drive over the run or trap it under a wheel, since crushing damages the conductors, and coil it away dry when you finish.
Should I take the 20m instead?
Only if 15m genuinely will not stretch. 20m is our longest cable and it is noticeably heavier and bulkier to coil and store, with no gain in charging speed. Buy the shortest cable that comfortably reaches, then add a metre of slack. Anything beyond that is weight you carry for nothing.
