Overview
The Dolphin is BYD's small hatchback, and like everything else sold here it charges on a Type 2 socket.
Its onboard AC charger depends on trim. The entry cars are limited to around 7kW, the higher trims take 11kW. In practice this matters less than it sounds, because a normal UK home supply caps you near 7.4kW either way. A 32A single-phase cable therefore suits every version of the car on a home wallbox, and it is the one we would point most Dolphin owners at.
Where the trim does matter is public charging. If yours takes 11kW and you regularly use a 22kW post, a three-phase lead will let it draw more than a single-phase one. If you only ever charge on the drive, that difference never shows up.
Two leads cover the car
- Type 2 to Type 2. The one you will use daily, on home wallboxes and public posts alike. 5m if the charger sits beside where you park, 10m if it is on the far wall or you use public bays.
- Type 2 to 3-pin. A Mode 2 lead for a household socket. At 2.3kW it is slow and no substitute for a wallbox, but it is worth keeping in the boot.
Every cable we sell is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated against British weather, and carries a two-year warranty. Compare lengths in our 32A single-phase range.

Features

Type 2, whichever trim you have
The Dolphin is BYD's small hatchback, and like everything else sold here it charges on a Type 2 socket.
-
One cable covers all versions at home
A normal UK home supply caps you near 7.4kW whatever the trim, so a 32A single-phase cable suits every version of the car on a home wallbox.
-
Trim matters on public posts
If yours takes 11kW and you regularly use a 22kW post, a three-phase lead will let it draw more than a single-phase one. Charge only on the drive and that difference never shows up.
-
Four lengths to match the parking
5m if the charger sits beside where you park, 10m if it is on the far wall or you use public bays, plus 15m and 20m.

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.
