Choosing the Best EV Charging Cable for Your Car

When will you need a separate charging cable?

You'll need to use a charging cable if you want to charge from a chargepoint (or socket) that doesn't have a cable attached. Typically, this will be the case when using AC chargepoints on public networks or home chargers that have universal sockets.

While you will generally get a lot of use out of a charging cable, in some situations it won&#;t be required because the chargepoint will already have a cable attached.

For example, you can choose to get a tethered chargepoint installed at home while rapid chargers, and a handful of public AC chargers, also have tethered cables attached.

Socket type Where to find When to use 3-pin plug



Traditional domestic socket. Can do the job in an emergency - albeit slowly. But not best practice to use long term as they are not designed to handle charging loads for extended periods. Type 2



Standard AC charging socket, found in public charging points and non-tethered home chargers. These sockets are perfect for the job of charging cars, use them as often as you can.
