Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable 32A 1 Phase 7kW

Yes. This cable is ideal for safely charging any vehicle with a Type 2 or CCS socket. The charging cable is UKCA and CE certified to ensure that the cable is compliant with the standards required for charging a Type 2 socket vehicle. The charging point and vehicle will also carry out checks before charging commences to confirm that the cable can be used safely and to ensure that the correct amount of current is provided to the vehicle. It is also recommended to refer to our Cable Care Guide for information to help keep the cable in good working order.

No – the charging point and the vehicle carry out checks to make sure that the current supplied the power supply will not exceed more than the cable can carry or more than the vehicle can safely handle. You can therefore use this cable to safely charge the vehicle.

The guide below displays the approximate range per hour that this cable is capable of providing for each of the most common AC charging rates – 1 Phase 16A (3.7kW), 1 Phase 32A (7.4kW), 3 Phase 16A (11kW) and 3 Phase 32A (22kW).

Please note… this table is illustrating the maximum charging speeds that this cable is capable of delivering to a vehicle.

The charging speeds that your vehicle will receive during charging is also influenced by the following factors:

The vehicle’s maximum charging capacity: Your vehicle’s onboard charger must support the cable’s maximum power to reach these speeds, or vice versa. For example, a vehicle that has a 3kW AC onboard charger will only receive a maximum 3kW from this cable. A vehicle that has an 11kW AC onboard charger will only receive a maximum 7.4kW from this cable (up to 30 miles of charge per hour).

The power supply: If you are using a 1 Phase 32A wall charger (commonly installed outside homes) the maximum charging rate this cable can provide is is 7.4kW. If you are using a 3 Phase 32A charging point (available as public charging points or some wall chargers outside commercial premises), the maximum rate is also 7,4kW. If the charging point is 3 Phase 16A (Installed at some commercial premises and public charging points, but now uncommon) then the maximum speed is 3.7kW.

Charging efficiency: Heavier or less efficient vehicles (SUVs for example) will gain fewer miles per hour, while smaller, more efficient cars will gain more. The health of the battery will also influence the charging speed.

Environmental Factors: Charging speeds and battery efficiency can decrease in cold weather, resulting in slightly fewer miles of range per hour. If the car is charging during a particularly hot day and the plugs become too hot, charging times may take longer if the cable, vehicle socket or charging point overheats.

Yes. If the vehicle has a CCS or Type 2 socket, this cable will safely charge the vehicle. The cable is therefore ideal for charging different electric or hybrid vehicles.

No. This cable will not work if it is used as an extension charging cable. The cable has to be plugged directly into the socket of a Type 2 charging station or wallbox. It cannot be attached to another Type 2 plug.

Cable: The cable is waterproof as long as there are no cuts or tears in the cable sheath.

Type 2 Plug: The Type 2 plugs are built with an outer shell that will withstand rain and snow when connected to the vehicle socket. So your cable is effectively waterproof when it is charging your vehicle.

A common way for water to enter the Type 2 plugs is when the plug caps are replaced after charging. The plug caps must always be replaced after charging your vehicle, but do ensure that the inside of both plug caps are dry. Avoid leaving the plugs lying around outside, do not drag or drop the Type 2 plugs on the ground and store the charging cable in a dry place when not in use.

No. The cable can only be used to plug into the Type 2 socket of an electric or Hybrid vehicle.

The charging station socket and vehicle socket both have locking pins that will insert into the Type 2 plugs when the cable is connected. The locking pins of the vehicle and charging station will therefore stop the plugs from being withdrawn whilst the charging cable is connected.
