Choosing the right cable for your Aiways

Aiways sold the U5 and U6 in Britain through a small retail partnership and then withdrew from the market. The cars themselves are unaffected by that, but the support around them thinned out quickly, and replacing anything that leaves the vehicle became harder than it should be.

Connector spec by model

  • U5 (2020-2023): Type 2 + CCS. 6.6kW AC. 63kWh battery. 90kW DC.
  • U6 (2022-2023): Type 2 + CCS. 6.6kW AC. 63kWh.

The cable is the part that goes missing

Most components on a car stay attached to it. The charging lead does not: it comes out, goes into a boot, gets left at an office, gets caught in a gate. It is by some distance the most commonly replaced item on any EV, and on a car whose retail network has gone, that matters more than usual.

Standard connector, ordinary purchase

The U5 and U6 use Type 2, the same connector as every other EV sold in Europe. A quality third-party lead is the correct part, not a substitute for one. Nothing about the brand's withdrawal changes what fits.

6.6kW means the cheaper cable is not a compromise

Both cars accept 6.6kW, so a 32amp lead already supplies more than they can draw. There is nothing a higher rating could add. Buy on length and build quality instead.

Length recommendations

10m covers most driveways and public bays. Compare across our Type 2 charging cables.

Questions

Can I still get a cable for my Aiways?
Yes. The U5 and U6 use the standard Type 2 connector, so any quality Type 2 lead is the correct part. The brand's withdrawal does not change what fits.
What rating should I buy?
The 32amp single-phase cable, though it already supplies more than the car can draw. Both models accept 6.6kW.
Will public chargers still work?
Yes. Type 2 is the standard on UK public AC posts and is unaffected by the brand leaving the market.
How long does a full charge take?
Around ten hours from empty at 6.6kW, for the 63kWh battery.
What length should I choose?
10m covers most driveways and gives room on public bays.
