Overview
A simple adapter power source (Ford only)
This V2L (Vehicle to Load) cable turns the Ford Capri and Ford Explorer into a mobile power source for household appliances. You may also see the idea described as Vehicle to Device, or V2D. Plug the adapter into your Type 2 charge port, switch discharge on using the push-button on the Type 2 connector, and you have mains power wherever the vehicle is parked. Camping kit, tools, a kettle a long way from a socket: it all works.
Compatible models
- Ford Capri
- Ford Explorer
Up to 3kW from the UK 3-pin outlets and up to 3.6kW from the CEE and Schuko outlets, depending on the car.
One important warning. Vehicle to load cables must never be connected to any other electrical system, because there is no voltage or phase synchronisation between the two. Ignoring that will void your vehicle warranty and has the potential to cause serious damage both to the connected system and to the vehicle itself.
What IP44 means here
The IP44 ingress protection rating means the cable will work in dusty conditions and shrug off splashes of water while mated. It is not a full water seal, though, and the cable should never be submerged.
Cable information
- 16A, 3G1.5, 10.5mm diameter
Looking after it
- Keep it out of puddles. Outdoor storage is fine.
- Use the rubber dust cover when the cable is not in use, so debris does not collect in the connector.
- Moisture is the problem we see most often, and the pin corrosion it causes is not covered by warranty.
What about rain?
Water can find its way into the plug and the vehicle's socket during the moments you are inserting or removing the connector. Dry the pins where you can and use the cover. More options in our V2L adapters range.

What customers say about us

10m and 5m cables for untethered charger use
Bought one 10m cable to use with an untethered wall charger at home. Very impressed with quality so bought a second 5m cable to keep in the van in case I needed to use an untethered charger when on the road. Cables are well made and sufficiently flexible to allow easy use. I particularly like the fact that there are covers fitted at both ends to keep the contacts clean when not in use - many cables only have a cover at one end. Customer service and prompt delivery were first rate.

Fantastic service. Honestly can't recommend them enough. Cable arrived the very next day after I ordered it, worked perfectly, and when I needed to ask a follow-up question, the customer service was second to none, truly. 5 star service from start to finish and beyond.

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.
