They allow you to charge your car from any public or home EV charging point and come in 5 or 10 meters to suit all your needs. This is the 3 Phase version. Disclaimer: The look might slightly differ to the pictured cable. All function and specifications are the same. Popular networks include BP Pulse, Charge Your Car, GeniePoint, the Gridserve Electric Highway and Shell Recharge.
Getting to know how your EV charges is important, so you don’t get caught out when on a journey. Once you have determined which electric car charger type you have, you can use this information to your advantage to find faster and more convenient ways to ‘refuel’. Even if your car comes with both types of cable, you may also want to buy an extra one so you can have one at home and one at the office, or have a spare to leave at a relative’s house for occasional use. When will you need an extra EV charging cable? It’s also possible to buy EV charging cables with brightly coloured leads, which could be useful if you’re using it across a walkway or in a dimly lit location. Which EV charging cable do I need? The same connector as above, but this time capable of up to 22kW AC. The vast majority of modern EVs have a Type 2 connector. While you don’t need your own electric car charging cable to use the vast majority of public electric vehicle (EV) charge points, you will need it at some, and you’ll also use your own cable with a wallbox EV charger or a domestic power source.Up to 50kW DC. This connection is favoured by Japanese and Korean car makers. Popular models that use it include the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Nissan Leaf. This cable will only work on cars manufactured 2020 or prior. For cars after this date please see our GEN2 mode 2 cable. It’s important to note that while Type 2 charger leads can be used with both 7.4kW and 22kW chargers, Type 1 cables can only be used with the slower 7.4kW units. What EV charging cable is best? Rated at up to 150kW, and – at the moment– exclusively for Tesla drivers, a Supercharger can refill a Tesla’s battery to 80% capacity in around 30 minutes. Superchargers use the following connectors:
A slow charger is rated at speeds of up to 6kW AC. Slow chargers include the three-pin 3kW charge points found in lamp posts in residential streets. Almost every new EV comes with one or both of the cables you will need for charging, usually stored in the boot or under the bonnet. These will be the cables you need for either home charge points or home domestic three-pin charging:One of the fastest ways to charge an electric car, direct current (DC) rapid chargers are rated at 50kW. They will typically refill an EV battery to 80% in around 40 minutes and are found most commonly at roadside and motorway service stations. At the time of writing (August 2021), interactive charging map Zap Map reports that there are 3,691 rapid charging points in the UK. Rapid charging speeds vary from model to model, but the fastest-charging EVs can reach 230-270kW, while the fastest charging points in the UK can supply up to 360kW. You needn’t worry about lugging around a separate charging cable just for using a rapid or ultra-rapid charger, as they all have a CCS cable built-in. Ultra-rapid DC chargers can charge an EV battery even faster. Typically rated at 100kW upwards, 350kW chargers are starting to appear in the UK. Ultra-rapid chargers can refill an EV battery to 80% in around 20 minutes.
An ever-growing number of our patrol vans have built-in emergency mobile charging systems capable of giving an out-of-charge electric car enough power to be driven a short distance home, or to a charge point. Our All-Wheels-Up recovery system also allows our patrols to safely rescue electric cars with no need for a flatbed. They allow you to charge your car from any public or home EV charging point and come in 5 or 10 meters to suit all your needs.
Rapid and ultra-rapid chargers
Both rapid and ultra-rapid chargers usually use tethered cables that are permanently connected to the charging unit, so you can’t remove them. Some fast chargers may also have tethered cables, but some will require you to plug in a cable to both the charge point and the car. These cables are untethered. Slow chargers are the second most popular chargers in the UK, but are only recommended for emergency use (i.e. if no other means of charging is available).
