Your {M} in the table, the cable in the last column
Scan for your model rather than reading downward. The last column is the order and the link is the explanation.
One vehicle, and it does something almost nothing else here does: the TX carries two charging flaps, one in each front wing, flanking the radiator grille. For a taxi that spends its working life plugging in, that is a deliberate design decision rather than an accident.
Where the {M} range divides
Domestic supplies here are single phase, which puts the practical limit at about 7.4 kW.
The TX takes 7 kW, which the 32 amp lead delivers without throttling anything, and it has a CCS socket for rapid charging on a shift. It is a range extender rather than a battery electric, so the petrol engine generates while the electric motor always drives the wheels, which makes the plug central to the economics rather than optional.
The two front flaps are the practical story. Whichever side the charge point is on, there is an inlet facing it, so a shorter lead does a job that would need much more cable on a single port vehicle of this size. On a taxi rank or a depot with posts on both sides of a bay, that flexibility is worth real time over a working week.
Because the vehicle earns money, cable durability matters more here than on a private car. Two plug-in cycles a day for a year is a different duty cycle from twice a week, and it is the moulded connector heads rather than the conductors that decide how that goes.
Getting the length right
Two things set the length: where your charge point is mounted and which corner of the car the flap sits in. Get both and the answer is obvious. Guess either and you will either be stretching a lead or coiling four spare metres on the drive.
With a flap in each front wing, five metres covers most arrangements even on a vehicle of this size, provided you park nose in. Ten metres is the choice if the charge point is behind where the taxi stands.
Construction and delivery
What you are buying is consistent: IP67 moulded heads, tinned copper cores, a jacket rated for British winters, two years of warranty, free next working day delivery.
Yes, one in each front wing either side of the radiator grille, so whichever side your charge point is on there is an inlet facing it.
What does it charge at on a home or depot wallbox?
About 7 kW, which a 32A single phase lead delivers.
Is the TX a battery electric?
No, it is a range extender. The electric motor always drives the wheels and the petrol engine generates, so charging matters to running costs rather than being optional.
Which length should I order?
Five metres covers most arrangements thanks to the two front flaps. Ten metres if the charge point sits behind the vehicle.
Can it rapid charge?
Yes, it has a CCS socket, which is what makes a full working shift practical.
