Skoda quoted three and a half hours from a wall box, and a road test on a 22 kW public point still took four to five hours, because the car was the limit rather than the post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second generation, estate only and open for UK orders from July 2024, is a much bigger step than the badge suggests: 19.7 kWh usable from a 25.7 kWh pack, up to 84 miles of electric range, and an 11 kW charger. Skoda quotes two and a half hours. The catch is what 11 kW means on a British driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the newer car still only needs a 16A lead\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat 11 kW unit is 16 amps spread across three phases. A Skoda owner who found their 7 kW home charger only delivering 4 kW asked Skoda technical support about it, and was told the car takes about 16 to 20 amps from a single phase, which comes to roughly 4 kW. A house has one phase, so that is the figure that applies to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo Skoda's two and a half hours is a three phase time, achievable at a workplace and not at home. On one phase you are looking at closer to five and a half hours, and a 16A cable delivers all of it. A heavier lead makes no difference, because nothing downstream of the onboard charger sets the pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 13 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 19.7 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A, about what a UK home gives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 14 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree pin from a 13A socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHours come from dividing the pack by the power the car actually draws, with 13 per cent added for losses. The 13 kWh column is the first generation, which cannot use the three phase row either, since its charger is a plain 3.6 kW single phase unit. The 19.7 kWh column is the current estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne genuine advantage of the newer car: it is the first Skoda plug-in hybrid with DC rapid charging, taking CCS at up to 50 kW for a 10 to 80 per cent stop in about 26 minutes. The first generation has no DC at all, so on that car the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 lead\u003c\/a\u003e is the only way the battery ever refills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a Superb iV\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the first generation the socket sits behind a flap in the radiator grille, at the front. Skoda has never published which side of the grille it favours, and we have not found it for the second generation at all, so rather than guess we will say the honest thing: look at your own car before choosing a length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is certain is that the Superb is a long car, 4.9 metres as a hatch and a little more as an estate, which pushes the answer towards \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10 metres\u003c\/a\u003e for anything other than parking nose-in at a charge point on the correct side. The honest way to choose is to measure the real parking position and allow two metres spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction is to IEC 62196-2 with CE marking, IP55 weather protection and a -30C to +50C operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three pin unit is IEC 62752 compliant, CE marked, IP67 against water and rated -30C to +60C. Warranty is two years from the manufacturer, delivery free next working day, returns accepted for 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"evp-see-also\"\u003eRelated: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/skoda-elroq-charging-cable\"\u003eSkoda Elroq EV Charging Cable\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/skoda-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eSkoda charging cables\u003c\/a\u003e for every other model we cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSkoda Superb iV charging cable questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat cable does a Superb iV need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A Type 2 to Type 2 lead covers both generations.
