Range Rover Vogue Charging Cable
Quick recommendation
If you have just collected a used Range Rover and the seller kept the charging lead, this is the one to order: a Type 2 to Type 2 32A cable. Every plug-in Range Rover charges on AC at 7 kW, and a 32A cable carries more than that, so it never becomes the limit. The 5m and 10m versions both do the job.
First, check that your car plugs in at all. Vogue is a trim level, not a model, so the badge on the tailgate is what counts. Land Rover uses a lower case e to mark a plug-in hybrid. A P400e, P440e, P460e, P510e or P550e charges. A P530, P615, D300 or D350 does not, because those are either mild hybrid or straight combustion with no charging port anywhere on the car.
Beyond that, there are two very different plug-in Range Rovers and the difference is enormous. The L405 P400e, built from 2018 to 2021, carries 13.1 kWh gross. Land Rover never published a usable figure for it, and it has no rapid charging at all, so the Type 2 socket is the only way in. On a 32A cable it fills in roughly two hours, which is one of the quickest full charges you will find on any plug-in.
The L460, from 2022 onwards, is a far more serious machine. Its battery holds 31.8 kWh usable from 38.2 kWh gross, nearly three times the older car, and it takes about five hours to fill on a 7 kW supply. It also has CCS rapid charging at 50 kW, quoted at 40 minutes to 80 per cent, which is rare on a plug-in hybrid. Rapid units carry their own tethered lead, so that has no bearing on what you buy here.
Skip the three phase cable. Both cars cap AC charging at 7 kW, so the extra conductors sit idle, and a UK home supply is single phase anyway. The 16A cable is a step backwards too, turning the L460's five hour charge into nearly ten.
A Type 2 to 3 Pin lead is worth keeping in the boot for hotels and family driveways. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55, Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, and all carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty with same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.

Range Rover Vogue Charging Cable FAQs
Which cable does a Range Rover P400e need?
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, ideally 32A. Every plug-in Range Rover accepts 7 kW on AC, and a 32A lead carries that comfortably, so the car reaches its own ceiling. The same cable fits the older L405 P400e and every L460 from 2022 onwards without any adapter.
Does my Range Rover Vogue actually plug in?
Vogue is a trim level, so look at the engine badge instead. A lower case e means a plug-in hybrid: P400e, P440e, P460e, P510e and P550e all charge. A P530, P615, D300 or D350 has no charging port and cannot use a cable, since those are mild hybrid or conventional engines.
How long does a Range Rover P550e take to charge?
About 5 hours from empty on a 7 kW supply, since the L460 holds 31.8 kWh usable. A 16A cable stretches that to roughly 9 hours 45 minutes and a three pin lead to about 15 hours 30 minutes. The older 13.1 kWh L405 P400e is far quicker at around 2 hours.
Is a 32A cable worth it over a 16A one?
Yes on these cars. The 7 kW onboard charger needs a 32A cable to work at full speed, and a 16A lead caps you at 3.7 kW. That turns the L460's five hour charge into nearly ten hours, and the L405's two hour charge into four. The price difference is small.
Can my Range Rover use a rapid charger?
Only the L460 from 2022 onwards, which has a CCS socket rated at 50 kW and quoted at 40 minutes to 80 per cent. The earlier L405 P400e has no rapid charging at all. Either way, rapid units come with their own attached lead, so it does not change which cable you buy.
What length cable suits a Range Rover?
Ten metres is the safer choice on a car this long, especially if you park nose in on a driveway or use bays where the post sits behind you. Five metres works when the wallbox is mounted close to the parking space. We also stock 15 metre and 20 metre 32A cables.
