If you are on this page for a European electric Explorer, everything below applies. The surprise for most owners is the size: at 4.468 metres it is one of the shortest electric SUVs on sale, which makes cable length easier here than on almost any rival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe electric Explorer takes a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the flap on the offside rear quarter, behind the driver's door. Every UK version is fully electric, so there is no trim in the range without a socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGet the \u003cstrong\u003e32A single phase\u003c\/strong\u003e cable for home charging. The 11 kW figure is a three phase rating, and a British house is fed by a single phase carrying up to 7.4 kW, which is what the Explorer will draw on a domestic wallbox. Add the \u003cstrong\u003e32A three phase\u003c\/strong\u003e lead only if you have access to three genuine phases at a workplace or commercial unit, where an Extended Range car falls from 11 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16A cable costs more than it saves here. On the Standard Range battery nine hours of charging turns into eighteen for the sake of thirteen pounds, and on Extended Range it goes past twenty three hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-pin cable belongs in the boot, not on the driveway. Our \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e manages 2.3 kW from a 13 amp house socket, about 11 miles an hour, which is a long way from a full charge but enough to add eighty or ninety miles over a night away from home. Our guide explains what to expect from a household socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts sister car under the skin is covered on the Ford Capri charging cable page, and the smaller electric Ford on the Ford Puma Gen-E charging cable page. Everything for the marque is in Ford EV charging cables, and our guide to IP ratings covers the sealing figures used below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUK orders qualify for same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm, and a 2 year manufacturer's warranty applies to every lead. Each is built to IEC 62196 Type 2 and carries CE certification, works between -30C and +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin, and is sealed to IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 cables and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFord Explorer Charging Times by Battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Range, 58 kWh usable, up to 273 miles WLTP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW, three phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange Added Per Hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 17 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToo slow for this battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 35 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest Fit at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 kW (car limited)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 52 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor 22kW posts and workplaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 11 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIdeal backup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the lithium iron phosphate battery fitted from early 2026.

The electric Ford Explorer is rated at 11 kW three phase, which a British house converts to 7.4 kW, and that cable hands over every watt the car can take at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this the same Explorer as the American one?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The electric Ford Explorer is built in Cologne on a European platform and went on sale in 2024. The North American Ford Explorer is a large petrol SUV with no charging socket at all. They share a name and nothing else, so no cable on this site fits the American car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the 22kW cable for a Ford Explorer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if you charge somewhere with three genuine phases, such as a workplace or an industrial unit, where an Extended Range Explorer drops from 11 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours. On a house the three phase cable delivers precisely the same 7.4 kW as the cheaper 32A single phase one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a Ford Explorer take to charge at home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a 32A cable, reckon on 8 hours 45 minutes to fill the 58 kWh Standard Range from flat, 11 hours 45 minutes for the Extended Range rear wheel drive, and 12 hours for the all wheel drive. Seven hours on a cheap overnight tariff puts back roughly 250 miles on the Extended Range cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length of cable suits a Ford Explorer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4.468 metres this is a short SUV, and the flap is on the offside rear quarter, so 5m reaches on most driveways where you reverse in with the wallbox on the driver's side. The 10m is for kerbside charging, a shared drive, or a unit mounted up by the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use my own cable at a public charger?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and on AC you have little choice. Untethered posts dominate British streets and car parks, so the socket is bare and the driver brings the lead. Rapid CCS charging is different, because the charger has its own cable permanently attached.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427111379324,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111412092,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427111444860,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-FORD-EXPLORER","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111477628,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111510396,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427111543164,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111575932,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-FORD-EXPLORER","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427111608700,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-FORD-EXPLORER","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":57427111641468,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-FORD-EXPLORER","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 10amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427111674236,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-FORD-EXPLORER-V5","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427111707004,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-FORD-EXPLORER","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/Ford_Explorer_Charging_Cable.jpg?v=1788990506","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/ford-explorer-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
