{"product_id":"porsche-918-spyder-charging-cable","title":"Porsche 918 Spyder  Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the correct choice for the 918 Spyder. The onboard charger is rated at 3.6 kW and the battery holds 6.8 kWh, so a 16A lead already matches what the car can accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 32A cable fits the same socket and is perfectly safe to use, but it will not shorten a charge by a single minute. The car, not the cable, sets the rate. Buy it only if you want one lead that also serves a newer, faster car in the same household.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePorsche built 918 cars between 2013 and 2015. UK and European examples use a Type 2 inlet, which was already the European standard when the car was launched, so a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right shape. North American cars were fitted with Type 1 instead. If you have imported one, this cable will not connect to it and you need a Type 1 lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Weissach Package changes nothing electrical. Battery, charger and connector are identical, so the same 16A cable applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom empty, a 16A cable fills the pack in roughly two and a quarter hours. A Type 2 to 3 Pin lead pulls 2.3 kW from an ordinary domestic socket and takes a little over three hours, which is a practical option given how small the battery is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22 kW three phase cable has no use here. Homes in Britain are supplied with a single phase, so a domestic charge point cannot go beyond 7.4 kW, and the 918 stops at 3.6 kW in any case. The charge rate is always the lowest of three figures: the car, the supply and the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePorsche also offered a bespoke Speed Charging Station with the car. That was a DC unit built for the 918 rather than anything on the public network, and it has no bearing on which AC cable you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, both come in 5m and 10m lengths, and every order includes a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePorsche 918 Spyder Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e918 Spyder, 2013 to 2015, 6.8 kWh\u003c\/h4\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 or 10m\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorkable on a small battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2 16A, 5m or 10m\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2h15m\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, 5m or 10m\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2h15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits, but no quicker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2 32A three phase, 5m or 10m\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2h15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo reason to buy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Panamera S E-Hybrid of 2013 to 2016 also takes a Type 2 inlet and about 3.6 kW into a 9.4 kWh battery, so a 16A cable suits that car too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePorsche 918 Spyder Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable does a Porsche 918 Spyder need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 16A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. UK and European cars have a Type 2 inlet and a 3.6 kW onboard charger, and 16A delivers 3.7 kW, which is more than the car will draw. With only 6.8 kWh to fill, that is a complete charge in about two and a quarter hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a 32A cable any faster on a 918 Spyder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The 918 accepts 3.6 kW and nothing above it, so a 32A cable delivers exactly the same charge in exactly the same two and a quarter hours. It is a sensible purchase only if the same cable will also be used on a newer car that can draw 7.4 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a 918 Spyder take to charge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout two hours fifteen minutes from empty on a home charge point, since the 6.8 kWh battery fills at 3.6 kW. A Type 2 to 3 Pin lead from a standard 13A socket runs at 2.3 kW and needs roughly three hours fifteen minutes, which is still an overnight job at worst.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Weissach Package change the charging?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Weissach cars carry the same 6.8 kWh battery, the same Type 2 socket and the same 3.6 kW onboard charger as a standard 918 Spyder. The package alters weight and trim rather than the electrical system, so the 16A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is again the one to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy does an imported 918 have a different plug?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCars built for North America were fitted with a Type 1 inlet, which has five pins and a different shape. A Type 2 cable will not physically connect to one. If your 918 came from the United States or Canada, order a Type 1 lead rather than anything listed on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat cable length suits a Porsche 918 Spyder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive metres is usually ample for a car kept in a garage with a wall box on the same wall. Ten metres is worth having if the charge point is at the far end of a workshop, or the car shares space with others and cannot always take the same bay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427071697276,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071730044,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427071762812,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071795580,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071828348,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427071861116,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071893884,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427071926652,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER","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":57427071959420,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER-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":57427071992188,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER-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":57427072024956,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-PORSCHE-918-SPYDER-V2","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/1688d49e22123ed3d1f60a7d75d7925e.jpg?v=1788990400","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/porsche-918-spyder-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
