Mazda EV & Hybrid Charging Cables

Two cables here, which reflects the size of Mazda's plug-in range in the UK rather than any gap in what we stock. Mazda's electric and plug-in hybrid models sold here use a Type 2 inlet.

If the car spends most of its life on short local trips, a standard 7.4kW single-phase setup at home is more than adequate. Choose instead on length, and on how the cable feels in the hand: a stiff, heavy lead in January is a small daily irritation that adds up. 30 day returns if it is not right for you.

Choosing the right cable for your Mazda

Mazda's plug-in range is small and slightly unusual, and one of its cars does something no other manufacturer on this site offers. Worth knowing before you buy anything.

The MX-30 R-EV can supply mains power without a discharge cable

The rotary range-extender version of the MX-30 provides mains power from a socket built into the vehicle. Where most cars need a vehicle-to-load discharge lead to run appliances, the R-EV does it natively. If that is what you were shopping for, you already have it and need buy nothing.

Connector spec by model

  • MX-30 Electric (2020+): Type 2 + CCS. 6.6kW AC. 35.5kWh battery. 50kW DC.
  • MX-30 R-EV (2023+): Type 2 + CCS. 7.2kW AC. 17.8kWh battery with a rotary range extender.
  • CX-60 Plug-in Hybrid: Type 2. 7.2kW AC. 17.8kWh.
  • CX-80 Plug-in Hybrid: Type 2. 7.2kW AC. 17.8kWh.

Nothing in the range needs more than a 32amp lead

The highest onboard charger across every Mazda plug-in is 7.2kW, which a 32amp single-phase cable supplies in full. The 22kW three-phase lead has no application here at all: no Mazda can draw it, so it would be money spent on capacity the car ignores.

The electric MX-30 has a small battery and a slow charger

35.5kWh at 6.6kW is around five and a half hours from empty, so it is an easy overnight car. The short range means most owners charge frequently and briefly rather than deeply, which makes cable convenience matter more than cable speed. A lead that reaches without being dragged is worth more here than a rating the car cannot use.

Length recommendations

10m covers most driveways. The MX-30's rear-hinged doors mean owners often park with a bit more clearance than usual, which can put the car further from the wall than expected. Compare across our Type 2 charging cables.

What we stock for Mazda

  • Type 2 to Type 2 cables from 5m to 20m, 3.6kW and 7.2kW ratings being the relevant ones.
  • Type 2 to 3-pin Mode 2 leads for household sockets.

Questions

Does the Mazda MX-30 R-EV need a V2L cable?
No. The R-EV supplies mains power from a socket built into the vehicle, so it does the job natively without a discharge lead.
What cable does an MX-30 need?
A Type 2 lead. The 32amp single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable covers the 6.6kW onboard charger in full.
Is the 22kW three-phase cable worth buying?
No. No Mazda plug-in accepts more than 7.2kW, so the extra capacity would never be used.
How long does an MX-30 take to charge?
Around five and a half hours from empty at 6.6kW, for the 35.5kWh battery.
What rating for a CX-60 or CX-80 plug-in hybrid?
Either the 16amp or 32amp lead. Both cars accept 7.2kW into a 17.8kWh battery, which is a little over two hours.
