{"product_id":"volkswagen-id7-charging-cable","title":"Volkswagen ID7 Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolkswagen publishes two different AC charging figures for the ID.7 and both of them are correct, which is why owners get conflicting answers. \u003cstrong\u003eEvery UK ID.7 has an 11 kW three phase onboard charger as standard\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the Pro, the Pro S and the GTX, in saloon and Tourer form, in every model year. VW's own Tourer press pack also prints 7.2 kW single phase, and that is not a second, slower charger. It is the same unit measured on one phase, which is what a British house provides. So the car is an 11 kW car that behaves as a 7.2 kW car on your driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ID.7 takes a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it has a combined CCS socket where the Type 2 section sits on top and the two DC pins sit below, so a Type 2 cable engages only the upper part. That is normal and it is why the aperture looks larger than the plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrder the \u003cstrong\u003e32A single phase\u003c\/strong\u003e lead for home. One phase is what a domestic supply carries, and it delivers around 7.4 kW, which is everything the ID.7 can take there. The \u003cstrong\u003e32A three phase\u003c\/strong\u003e cable is the one that unlocks the full 11 kW, and it only does so at a workplace or a 22 kW public AC post with three genuine phases, where a 77 kWh Pro drops from 11 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid the 16A cable on this car. It holds the ID.7 to 3.7 kW, so an 86 kWh Pro S needs 26 hours 15 minutes instead of 13 hours 15 minutes, and the miles recovered each hour halve from 37 to 19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth keeping a domestic socket lead in the boot as well. Our \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e works at 2.3 kW from an ordinary 13 amp outlet, around 11 miles an hour, which will never fill a battery this size but does turn an unplanned overnight stop into eighty or ninety miles. Our guide sets out what a household socket returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the ID range has its own figures and its own pages, including the Volkswagen ID.4 charging cable, the Volkswagen ID.3 charging cable and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz charging cable. Do not assume they match, because the smaller ID.3 and ID.4 batteries are where VW's genuinely single phase 7.2 kW charger lives. Everything is listed in Volkswagen EV charging cables. For what the sealing figures below keep out, read our guide to IP ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery lead here is manufactured to IEC 62196 Type 2 with CE certification and works from -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are sealed to IP55 and the Type 2 to 3-Pin to IP67. A 2 year manufacturer's warranty applies throughout, and UK orders qualify for same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVolkswagen ID.7 Charging Times by Battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eID.7 Pro, 77 kWh usable, up to 380 miles WLTP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW, three phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\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\u003eRange Added Per Hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 -

The 86 kWh above is the correct one. Note also that the 32A single phase row uses 7.4 kW, the figure a British supply delivers, while VW quotes 7.2 kW from the car's side, a difference of about fifteen minutes on a full charge. A cold week or a run of motorway miles will cost more than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVolkswagen ID.7 Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat charging cable does a Volkswagen ID.7 need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor charging at home, the 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable is the one to order. A Volkswagen ID.7 carries an 11 kW three phase charger, but a British house supplies one phase, so the car draws about 7.4 kW on a domestic wallbox and this lead carries all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the ID.7 7.2kW or 11kW?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth, and they describe the same car. Volkswagen fits an 11 kW three phase onboard charger to every UK ID.7, and its own literature also quotes 7.2 kW because that is what the charger delivers on a single phase. Since almost every British home is single phase, 7.2 kW is the figure you will actually see on a driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes any Volkswagen ID.7 have a slower charger?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Every ID.7 trim and both bodystyles have the same 11 kW unit, and it was never an option to be ticked. The genuinely single phase 7.2 kW charger that some people remember belongs to smaller-battery versions of the ID.3 and ID.4, not to the ID.7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a Volkswagen ID.7 take to charge at home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 11 hours 45 minutes from empty for the 77 kWh Pro on a 32A cable, and 13 hours 15 minutes for the 86 kWh Pro S and GTX. These are big batteries, so most owners top up overnight rather than fill, and seven hours on a night tariff is worth roughly 260 miles on the Pro S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length of cable does a Volkswagen ID.7 need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charging flap is on the offside rear quarter and the car is 4.96 metres long, saloon and Tourer alike, which is the least convenient combination there is. A 5m lead only works if you reverse onto the drive with the wallbox behind the car on the driver's side. For nose-in parking, a kerbside post, or a unit mounted near the house, order the 10m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a Type 2 cable fit the ID.7's large socket?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Volkswagen ID.7 uses a combined CCS inlet, where the round Type 2 section sits above two larger DC pins. A Type 2 to Type 2 cable plugs into the upper section only, and the lower pins are used solely by rapid chargers, which bring their own cable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427076579708,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427076612476,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427076645244,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427076678012,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427076710780,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427076743548,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427076776316,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":57427076809084,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","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":57427076841852,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","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":57427076874620,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7-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":57427076907388,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-VOLKSWAGON-ID-7","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/VolkswagenID.7ChargingCable.jpg?v=1788990408","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/volkswagen-id7-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
