Overview
The #1 is where Smart stopped being a city runabout brand and turned into something rather different. It charges on Type 2.
This is one of the rare cars where a three-phase lead earns its keep. Higher trims will accept up to 22kW on AC, which almost nothing else of this size manages, and at that rate a 22kW public post stops being a slow top-up and becomes genuinely quick. If you have one of those trims and you use those posts, buy the 32A three-phase lead.
At home the picture changes. A single-phase British house supplies around 7.4kW whatever the car is capable of, so the 32A single-phase cable is what most owners will actually be plugging in most nights.
Which cable to choose
- Type 2 to Type 2. The everyday lead, for 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. Slow at 2.3kW and not a main charger, but 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. Three-phase options are listed in our 22kW charging cables collection.
Every lead we stock for Smart is listed on our Smart charging cables page.

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.
