Every Type 2 make, and what each takes at home

Type 2 is the connector on 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.

The 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.

How the models differ, and where it matters

A 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.

That 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.

Three 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.

Where the connector does not settle it

Two 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.

One thing not to carry over from another model in this range: the charging position. It varies, and the individual pages name it.

Choosing a length

The run matters, not the car. Park as you normally would, walk the distance from the charge point to the socket, and add a metre or two. That number is what to order.

The build, and where to look next

Every lead on this page is built to the same specification: tinned copper conductors, a moulded IP67 rated head, a two year warranty and free next working day delivery on orders placed before the afternoon cut off.

If your car is older, the Type 1 range covers the five pin connector, and the three pin range covers charging from a domestic socket.

If you already know the connector, the Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable is the lead for every car on this page, in 5m to 20m. See also the universal cables and every cable we sell.

Type 2 charging cable questions

How do I know my car is Type 2?

Seven pins with one flat edge across the top. Type 1 has five pins in a round housing. Almost every car registered in Britain since about 2014 is Type 2.

Should I buy 16A or 32A?

32A for any car quoted at 6.6 kW or above, which is most of the table. 16A is the correct and cheaper choice for older plug-in hybrids that cannot draw more than about 3.7 kW.

Is a three phase cable worth buying?

Only if you use 22 kW public AC posts and your car can take that rate. On a British driveway a three phase lead behaves exactly like a single phase one.

What does a Type 2 car charge at on a home wallbox?

7.4 kW or thereabouts. British houses are single phase, so that is the practical ceiling.

Which length should I order?

Ten metres suits most British driveways. Five metres where the charge point sits beside the socket, and fifteen or twenty for a garage unit with the car outside.
