almost every electric and plug-in hybrid car sold in Britain since about 2014. Seven pins, one flat edge, and a lock in the plug. If your car is a recent registration this is almost certainly what it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe table lists every make we cover, how many models of each, and the range of home charging rates across them. Follow a make through to its own page for the model by model breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the models differ, and where it matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single phase supply and a 32 amp charge point give about 7.4 kW, and that is the ceiling for every car listed. Higher ratings need three phases that British housing stock does not have, and lower ratings are set by the car. The table shows what each model actually takes, not what its brochure headline says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat single figure is why the amp rating rather than the connector is the real decision. A 32 amp Type 2 lead reaches about 7.4 kW and is the right order for any car in the table quoted at 6.6 kW or above. A 16 amp lead delivers roughly 3.7 kW and is the correct, cheaper choice for the older plug-in hybrids that cannot draw more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree phase 22 kW leads exist and have exactly one use in Britain: a 22 kW public AC post, on a car whose charger can take it. The Renault Zoe is the standout example. On a driveway a three phase lead behaves identically to a single phase one, because only one phase is live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the connector does not settle it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things the connector will not tell you. First, some cars badged as hybrids have no socket at all, and the giveaway is a dash or the words self charging in the charging rows of a specification table. Second, a handful of cars carry two Type 2 inlets rather than one, which changes the length you need rather than the cable itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne thing not to carry over from another model in this range: the charging position.

A wall unit with its own lead attached cannot be swapped for a longer one, and a post in a car park is wherever the installer put it. This cable sits between the two and buys you another 5, 10 or 15 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your charger has a socket rather than a fixed lead, a longer charging cable is usually the tidier buy. Reach for an extension when the lead is captive, when you park on the road, or when a second space at the house needs covering without a second installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does to charging speed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing you will notice. A cable does not set the charge rate, the car and the charge point negotiate it between them, and this cable simply has to be rated for what they agree. Pick the 32A version and it carries 7.4 kW, which is everything a single phase British supply has to give. The 16A version tops out at 3.7 kW, so buy it only if the charger itself is a 16A unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach figure is the pack size divided by the power actually drawn, with 13 per cent added for charging losses and the result rounded to the quarter hour.
