A convenient 10m lead could make charging easier and suit cars you own in the future. If you have to buy less you potentially reduce waste.

Some EV/PHEVs have the charging port in the rear which means in some cases you’ll need to reverse up to the Type 2 (home or public un-tethered) charging station. This might not always be easy or practical. A 10m cable will allow you to charge your car parked in any direction.

If you want to upgrade your EV later, say you drive a leased vehicle for work, you’ll know a 10m cable will reach.

Simply select a lead with a Type 1 or Type 2 connection. Not sure what that is? Check out our handy Charging Guide to avoid ordering the wrong cable.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?

EV POWER TYPE 2 TO TYPE 2 LEADS

Will fit all ex-Uk or NZ-new EV/PHEV Type 2 EV/PHEV. These cars are known as Type 2 and have a charging port shaped a bit like a D on it’s side.

It’s up to you whether you use single-phase or a 3-phase supply.
