The 32A single phase cable passes all of it, so it gives the fastest charge any driveway in the country can deliver, and it stays correct when you change car. 10m costs £22 more than 5m and covers a car parked the wrong way round, a wallbox on the far wall, or a second car on the drive. That is the £22 people most often wish they had spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo exceptions. Buy \u003cstrong\u003e16A\u003c\/strong\u003e if your car's own AC limit is 3.6 or 3.7 kW, which is common on plug-in hybrids like the Ford Kuga and Outlander, because a 32A cable will not charge those cars any faster. Buy \u003cstrong\u003e32A three phase\u003c\/strong\u003e only if three live phases reach the socket you use, which at a house they do not. Check your car in the Compatibility tab before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorried about buying too much cable? Do not be. Charging settles at the lowest of three limits, the car, the charge point and the cable, so a 32A lead on a 16A post simply runs at 16A. Nothing to switch, nothing at risk, and the cable is not the bottleneck the day anything else improves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5m, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£124.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlug-in hybrids capped at 3.6 kW, wallbox close by\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5m, 32A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£137.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWallbox on the same side as the charging flap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5m, 32A three phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£162.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree phase supplies only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£156.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlug-in hybrids that need more reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m, 32A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£178.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe one most people should buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m, 32A three phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£202.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree phase supplies, longer reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m, 32A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£275.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetached garages and long drives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20m, 32A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£349.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShared bays and posts well away from the car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to IEC 62196-2 Type 2, CE certified, IP55 sealed and rated from -30C to +50C, so it lives outdoors all year.

It carries the full 7.4 kW a British home supply can deliver, and 10m reaches where 5m does not. Drop to 16A only if your car's own AC limit is 3.6 or 3.7 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between a 16A and a 32A Type 2 cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed. A 16A Type 2 cable passes up to 3.7 kW and a 32A one up to 7.4 kW, so on a car that can use it the 32A halves the charge time. The conductor is thicker too, 6mm squared against 2.5mm squared. If your car caps out at 3.7 kW both cables charge it at the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use a 32A Type 2 cable on a lower rated charge point?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Charging settles at the lowest of the three limits in play, so a 32A Type 2 cable on a 16A post delivers 16A and on a 7.4 kW wallbox delivers 7.4 kW. Nothing needs switching and nothing is at risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the 22kW three-phase Type 2 cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly where three phase power actually reaches the socket, which at a British house it does not. On a single phase supply a 22kW Type 2 cable delivers the same 7.4 kW as the cheaper 32A single phase lead. It earns its price at a workplace or an untethered 22 kW post, and only if your car accepts more than 7.4 kW on AC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length Type 2 charging cable do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the charge point to your car's charging flap with the car parked where it genuinely ends up, following the route the cable takes around the vehicle. 5m works when the wallbox and the flap are on the same side, 10m is the safer choice for most homes, and 15m or 20m suit detached garages and distant posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this cable fit my car?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your car has a Type 2 socket, yes. Type 2 is a standard, so any Type 2 cable physically fits any Type 2 car, and every UK electric and plug-in hybrid sold since about 2018 uses it. The Compatibility tab lists the common models with the charge speed each one accepts and the cable we recommend for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427076940156,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-1","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427076972924,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-1","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427077005692,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-1","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427077038460,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-1","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427077071228,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-1","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427077103996,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-1","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427077136764,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-1","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427077169532,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-1","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/51bc9dc279263abcf04dca9faab2c980_9ceac4ee-5532-471c-a14f-2ae51b4798a6.jpg?v=1788990408","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
