The moulded heads are rated for thousands of connection cycles, which is what a daily driver asks of them. Two year manufacturer's warranty. Delivery is free and next working day, and returns are open for 30 days. Free next working day UK delivery, price matched against any UK retailer, and 30 days to change your mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eType 2 to Type 2 cable questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharging an electric or plug in hybrid car from a home wall box or a public AC post that has a socket rather than an attached lead. Both ends are the seven pin Type 2 connector, which has been the UK and European standard since around 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need 16A or 32A?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the charge point. Nearly every UK home charger fitted recently is a 7 kW, 32A unit, and the 32A cable carries all of it while still working on 16A supplies. The 16A cable is for older 3.6 kW installations or a smaller budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a 22kW three phase cable charge my car faster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly where the socket has three phases behind it. On a single phase home supply the three phase cable delivers the same 7.4 kW as the single phase one. At a three phase workplace post a car rated for 11 kW will use the extra, which is where that version pays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this cable at public chargers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, at any untethered Type 2 AC post, which covers most on street and destination charging in the UK and Europe. Rapid DC units have their own lead attached and need nothing from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to leave outside in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The cable and connectors are IP55 rated and specified from -30C to +50C, so a wet British winter on an exposed driveway is within what it is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Power","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":46903313825989,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-1","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":46903313858757,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-1","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":46903313891525,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-1","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":46903313924293,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-1","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":46903313957061,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-1","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":46903313989829,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-1","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":46903314022597,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-1","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":46903314055365,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-1","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/3880\/6174\/products\/Type2toType2ChargingCable_1.jpg?v=1605128255","url":"https:\/\/www.ev-power.co.uk\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables","provider":"EV Power","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
