{"product_id":"seat-leon-charging-cable","title":"Seat Leon Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one Leon takes a charging cable, and the year it was built decides how much cable you need. The plug-in is the e-HYBRID. Nothing else in the range has a socket. The eTSI is a 48 volt mild hybrid that refills itself from the engine, and TSI petrol and TDI diesel cars have no charging port at all. If the tailgate does not read e-HYBRID, no cable on this page will fit your car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeon e-HYBRID models built from 2020 to 2024 use the 1.4 TSI 204PS drivetrain, a 12.8 kWh pack holding around 10.6 kWh usable, and a 3.6 kW onboard charger. That charger is slow by any measure, which means a 16A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is everything the car is able to draw. A 32A lead plugs into the same socket and works perfectly, but the car simply ignores the extra headroom. Save the difference unless a quicker car is joining the household. These early cars have no rapid charging either, so AC is your only option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 facelift is a different machine. The 1.5 TSI e-HYBRID holds 19.7 kWh usable from a 25.8 kWh pack and charges at 11 kW, which is unusual on a plug-in hybrid of any make. It also gained CCS rapid charging at 50 kW. British homes are wired single phase, so that 11 kW charger draws 7.4 kW on a domestic wallbox, and the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the one to buy. The full 11 kW only appears at a three phase charge point, where the 32A three phase lead is what unlocks it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength comes down to where the car sits. A 5m cable suits a wallbox within a car length of the charging flap. 10m gives you slack for kerbside parking, a garage where the unit is behind you, or a post shared across two bays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Type 2 to Type 2 leads are IP55 rated and the Type 2 to 3 Pin lead is IP67. Both carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeat Leon Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeon e-HYBRID 1.4 TSI 204PS, 2020 to 2024, 10.6 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\u003e5h 15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency use\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\u003e3.6 kW car limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit, all this car can use\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\u003e3.6 kW car limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\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 \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW car limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo benefit on this generation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeon e-HYBRID 1.5 TSI facelift, 2024 onwards, 19.7 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\u003e9h 45m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOvernight backup\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\u003e6h 00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWastes the bigger charger\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\u003e3h 00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 kW car limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2h 30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree phase supply only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeat Leon Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes my Seat Leon need a charging cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly if it is badged e-HYBRID. That is the sole Leon with a Type 2 socket. Petrol TSI, diesel TDI and the 48 volt eTSI all lack a charging port, so no cable will connect to them. Check the badge on the tailgate before ordering, since the eTSI is regularly mistaken for a plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable suits a 2020 to 2024 e-HYBRID?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 16A Type 2 to Type 2 lead. That generation has a 3.6 kW onboard charger, so it fills its 10.6 kWh usable battery in about 3 hours 33 minutes and cannot go faster whatever you plug in. A 32A cable is safe and fits the same socket, but it buys you no extra speed on this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat changed on the 2024 Leon e-HYBRID?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost everything about charging. The battery grew to 19.7 kWh usable from 25.8 kWh gross, the onboard charger tripled to 11 kW, and CCS rapid charging at 50 kW was added. That makes the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable the right buy, since 7.4 kW is what a UK home supply can deliver into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the Leon take to charge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 2020 to 2024 car takes roughly 3 hours 33 minutes from flat, and a three pin lead stretches that to around 5 hours 15 minutes. The 2024 facelift needs about 3 hours on a 32A cable at 7.4 kW, or 2 hours 30 minutes at a three phase point where it draws the full 11 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the Leon eTSI a plug-in hybrid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The eTSI is a 48 volt mild hybrid, on sale since 2020, and its small battery is charged by the engine as you drive. There is no socket and no way to plug it in. It is the version most often confused with the e-HYBRID, so it is worth a look at the badge before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShould I choose a 5m or 10m cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick 5m if your wallbox is mounted within a car length of the Leon charging flap and you always park the same way. Go for 10m if you charge at the kerb, reverse into a garage, or share a public post between bays. The longer lead removes the guesswork for a small extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427071336828,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071369596,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427071402364,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-SEAT-LEON","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071435132,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071467900,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427071500668,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427071533436,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-SEAT-LEON","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427071566204,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-SEAT-LEON","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":57427071598972,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-SEAT-LEON-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":57427071631740,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-SEAT-LEON-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":57427071664508,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-SEAT-LEON-V2","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/c17c5ca796b90d0e16689657472144a3.jpg?v=1788990400","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/seat-leon-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
