{"product_id":"levc-tx-electric-taxi-charging-cable","title":"LEVC TX Electric Taxi Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost LEVC TX drivers need one cable: a Type 2 to Type 2 32A lead. Your taxi has a 22 kW onboard charger, but UK homes and most domestic supplies run on a single phase, and that caps any cable at 7.4 kW. The 32A lead pulls every watt of it. A 16A cable fits the same socket, but it stops at 3.7 kW and roughly doubles the time the cab spends plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat 22 kW figure is only reachable at a three phase charge point, using the 32A three phase cable. If your depot or garage has three phase power, that cable is a genuine upgrade. It takes a full charge from roughly four and three quarter hours down to about an hour and a half, which matters when you are turning the cab round between shifts. On a house supply it charges no faster than the standard 32A lead, so do not pay for it unless you have the power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two taxi generations and the cable choice is the same for both. The 2018 to 2022 TX carries 31 kWh usable from a 33 kWh pack. The 2023 car onwards moved to 34.6 kWh, quoted at up to 78 miles of electric range. Both use Type 2 for AC and both have a CCS socket rated at 50 kW, and early cars could be specified with a CHAdeMO socket alongside it, which is rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth being plain about what the TX is. It is a range extender rather than a pure EV. The 1.5 litre petrol engine works only as a generator and never drives the wheels, so a flat battery never ends a shift. The cheap miles are still the charged ones, so plugging in overnight is what keeps the engine off during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn length, 5m suits a cab that noses straight into a wallbox. 10m is the safer buy for kerbside parking or a shared post. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, with same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLEVC TX Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTX range extender taxi, 2018 to 2022, 31 kWh usable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\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\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\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\u003e15h 15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandby use only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9h 30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorks, but slow for a working cab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4h 45m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit for home and rank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1h 30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnly at a three phase depot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTX with the upgraded battery, 2023 onwards, 34.6 kWh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\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\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\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\u003e17h 00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency top up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10h 30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong overnight charge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5h 15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1h 45m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree phase supply required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLEVC TX Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable does the LEVC TX need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TX uses a Type 2 socket for AC charging, so a Type 2 to Type 2 lead is the one to order. Buy the 32A version. On the single phase supply in a UK home it delivers 7.4 kW, the quickest AC charge the cab will see there. A 16A lead fits but limits you to 3.7 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the three phase cable worth it for a cab?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly where you plug into genuine three phase power. The TX has a 22 kW onboard charger, so at a three phase point the 32A three phase cable refills 31 kWh in around an hour and a half rather than four and three quarter hours. At a house it draws 7.4 kW, exactly the same as the standard 32A lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a full charge take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom flat, the 2018 to 2022 TX takes about 4 hours 45 minutes at 7.4 kW using a 32A cable, or roughly 9 hours 30 minutes at 3.7 kW on a 16A one. A three pin lead needs around 15 hours 15 minutes, which makes it a standby option rather than something you use between shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the 2023 TX charge any differently?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pack grew from 31 kWh usable to 34.6 kWh, with electric range quoted up to 78 miles. The charging hardware did not change: Type 2 for AC, 7.4 kW on a single phase supply, 22 kW on three phase, plus CCS at 50 kW. A full 32A charge runs to about 5 hours 15 minutes instead of 4 hours 45.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill this cable fit an LEVC VN5 van?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The VN5 shares the TX platform and the same Type 2 socket, with either the 31 kWh pack or the later 34.6 kWh one. The 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the correct buy. Higher trims carry the 22 kW charger, so a three phase lead only earns its keep at a three phase depot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShould I buy 5m or 10m?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e5m reaches when the cab noses straight into a wallbox on a driveway. Take 10m if you park on the street, reverse onto a rank, or share a charge post at a garage. Working cabs rarely stop in the same spot twice, so the extra five metres removes a daily irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427111051644,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-LEVC-TX-V2","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 10amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427111084412,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-LEVC-TX-V5","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427111117180,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-LEVC-TX","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427111149948,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-LEVC-TX-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111182716,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-LEVC-TX","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427111215484,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-LEVC-TX","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111248252,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-LEVC-TX","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427111281020,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-LEVC-TX","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111313788,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-LEVC-TX","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427111346556,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-LEVC-TX","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/2e7b2937a2dbceaa9dbebecc29825f80.jpg?v=1788990504","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/levc-tx-electric-taxi-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
