Overview
KGM is the company that used to be SsangYong, and the name change causes more trouble than the charging does. Depending on when your car was registered, the logbook may say either, and parts searches often turn up nothing under the newer name.
The car itself is unremarkable to charge, which is the good news. The Torres EVX uses a Type 2 socket like almost everything else on sale, so a standard Type 2 to Type 2 lead fits it. There is no KGM-specific cable, and anyone selling you one is selling you an ordinary lead with a badge on the listing.
A 32amp single-phase cable is the sensible everyday choice. The three-phase version only earns its money if your property actually has three phases, which very few British homes do.
Every cable is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated and carries a two-year warranty.

Features

Matched to the Torres EVX charge port
The Torres EVX charges through a Type 2 socket, and every cable here ends in the matching connector.
-
KGM and SsangYong are the same company
The logbook may say either depending on registration date. The cable is the same one regardless.
-
There is no KGM-specific cable
Anything sold as one is a standard Type 2 lead with a badge on the listing.
-
32amp single phase is the everyday choice
Three-phase only pays off on a property that genuinely has three phases.

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.
