{"product_id":"mazda-mx-30-charging-cable","title":"Mazda MX-30 Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMazda MX-30 takes 6.6 kW AC\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lowest onboard charging rate of any electric car we write about. Mazda withdrew the MX-30 from the UK range during 2025, so almost everyone buying a cable for one now is a second or third owner, often working out what the original supplying dealer did or did not hand over with the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MX-30 uses a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. The inlet is a CCS Combo 2 on the rear right wing, and the round Type 2 portion at the top is where an AC cable connects. There is no Type 1 version of this car, so if a private seller hands you a Type 1 lead it did not come with the MX-30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the car's own charger caps at 6.6 kW, the MX-30 is the rare case where \u003cstrong\u003ethe limit sits in the vehicle rather than in your house\u003c\/strong\u003e. Most electric cars accept 11 kW and are held to 7.4 kW by a single phase domestic supply. The MX-30 cannot reach even 7.4. A 32A single phase cable will feed it 6.6 kW, which is everything it can take, and a 22 kW three phase cable would deliver exactly the same 6.6 kW for more money. Three phase is genuinely pointless on this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e32A single phase lead is still the one to buy\u003c\/strong\u003e. It fills the 35.5 kWh battery in about 6 hours and returns roughly 23 miles of range an hour. Step down to a 16A cable and the rate falls to 3.7 kW, stretching a full charge to 10 hours 45 minutes and halving the miles per hour to about 13. Given the MX-30's modest 124 mile range, losing half your charging speed hurts more here than it would on a long range car, because there is less buffer to absorb a night when charging did not finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e works genuinely well on this car. At 2.3 kW it fills the MX-30 in about 17 hours 30 minutes, and because the battery is small, an ordinary overnight stint on a household socket returns a useful 60 to 70 miles. For a used MX-30 owner without a wallbox yet, a three pin lead is a real interim charging solution rather than a token gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMazda also sold the MX-30 R-EV, which pairs a much smaller 17.8 kWh battery with a rotary petrol generator and gives around 53 electric miles. If your car has a fuel filler as well as a charging flap, it is the R-EV and its charging times are far shorter than the ones below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mazda CX-60 charging cable page covers Mazda's plug-in hybrid SUV, and the Mazda EV charging cables collection lists everything we stock for the marque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e2 year manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with every cable here, alongside same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.

Note also that Mazda's own UK charging table implies a slightly higher rate than the 6.6 kW quoted at launch, so treat 6.6 kW as the conservative figure. Expect lower figures in winter and on long fast runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMazda MX-30 Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat cable does a Mazda MX-30 need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable, and the 32A single phase version is the right pick. The Mazda MX-30 accepts 6.6 kW, the 32A cable carries that comfortably, and a full charge takes about 6 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eMy used MX-30 came without a cable. What am I missing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Mazda MX-30s were supplied with a Type 2 to Type 2 Mode 3 cable for wallbox and public post charging. A three pin Mode 2 cable was not always included. Since the MX-30 left the UK price list in 2025, replacements are no longer a dealer item for many owners, and buying a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 lead restores the car to how it was sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the three phase cable a waste of money on an MX-30?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Mazda MX-30 is limited to 6.6 kW by its own onboard charger, which is below what a single phase supply already provides. A 22 kW three phase cable therefore charges an MX-30 at precisely the same speed as a 32A single phase one. There is no scenario, at home or at a public post, where the extra phases help this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is the MX-30 R-EV different for charging?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mazda MX-30 R-EV carries a 17.8 kWh battery instead of 35.5 kWh, roughly half the size, plus a rotary petrol generator to extend its range. It gives about 53 miles on electricity and refills far more quickly than the battery electric MX-30. Both cars use the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length of cable suits an MX-30?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mazda MX-30 is a compact crossover at just over 4.4 metres, and its charging flap is on the rear right wing. Owners who reverse onto a driveway with the wallbox on the right will manage on 5m. Drive in forwards and that flap sits at the far end of the car from the wall, where 10m removes the problem. The rear hinged back doors do not affect cable routing, but leave room to open them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much range does an MX-30 gain in one cheap rate window?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seven hour off peak period on a 32A single phase cable puts about 160 miles into a Mazda MX-30, which is more than the car can hold, so the battery fills and stops. That is the useful thing about a small battery: one cheap rate window always covers a full charge, provided the cable is not holding the car back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427103351164,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427103383932,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427103416700,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-MAZDA-MX30","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427103449468,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427103482236,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427103515004,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427103547772,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-MAZDA-MX30","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427103580540,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-MAZDA-MX30","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":57427103613308,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-MAZDA-MX30-V2","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":57427103646076,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-MAZDA-MX30-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":57427103678844,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-MAZDA-MX30-V2","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/67640203d7866c770bf194a05559c1e0.jpg?v=1788990498","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/mazda-mx-30-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
