Overview
The Eletre and Emeya are the rare cars on this site where the 22kW three-phase cable is genuinely the right answer rather than an upsell.
On almost every EV we sell, the three-phase lead is a waste: British homes are single-phase and most cars have an 11kW onboard charger at best. Lotus fitted these two with a much larger AC charger, and the batteries are big enough that the difference actually shows. If you have three-phase at the property, or you regularly use 22kW public AC posts, this is the car that repays the extra outlay.
If your home supply is ordinary single-phase, none of that applies and the 32amp lead is your everyday cable. The car will draw what the supply allows either way.
Both cars use a Type 2 socket. Every cable is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated and carries a two-year warranty.

Features
-
The one range where three-phase earns its keep
Lotus fitted a much larger AC charger than most EVs carry, and the batteries are big enough for the difference to show.
-
Only if the property has three phases
On an ordinary single-phase home supply the car draws single-phase power whatever cable you use, so the 32amp lead is the everyday one.
-
Matched to the Lotus charge port
Both cars charge through a Type 2 socket, and every cable here ends in the matching connector.
-
5m to 20m
Longer runs are worth considering on larger cars, where the charge port can end up further from the wall.
Installation

- 02Wallbox end first, then the car. Push until the latch clicks.
- 03Check the car shows a charging state before you walk away.

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.
