Overview
Eight metres is the length we get asked for more than any other, and it is easy to see why. Five metres is fine if your charging point sits right beside the flap, but it leaves you short the moment you are in a public car park and the only free bay is one across from the post. Twenty metres solves that and then becomes a nuisance to coil. Eight sits in the middle: long enough to reach an awkwardly positioned charging point when you cannot park close to it, still manageable enough to handle without wrestling, and it packs down neatly into a carry case that lives happily in the boot.
We stock the 8m length in both Type 1 to Type 2 and Type 2 to Type 2, so it covers older and current electric vehicles alike. Every cable is compatible with all Type 2 charging station sockets and is CE and TÜV safety certified for use in the UK and Europe.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
