Overview
The Solterra is Subaru's electric SUV, built alongside the Toyota bZ4X and sharing its charging hardware. It uses a Type 2 socket, and the onboard AC charger is more modest than the size of the car suggests.
That last point is worth pausing on, because it is where people overspend. A large battery makes buyers reach for the fastest cable on the shelf, but AC charging speed is set by the car's onboard charger, not by the pack. On the Solterra that ceiling is low enough that the 32amp single-phase lead is already more than the car will draw, and the 22kW three-phase cable is simply the wrong purchase.
Because the AC rate is modest, length matters more than rating here. Buy the lead that reaches comfortably, and use rapid DC chargers when you actually need speed.
Every cable is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated and carries a two-year warranty. The Toyota charging cables page covers the same platform.

Features
-
Matched to the Solterra charge port
The Solterra charges through a Type 2 socket, and every cable here ends in the matching connector.
-
A big battery does not mean a fast AC charger
AC speed is set by the car's onboard charger, not the size of the pack. On the Solterra that ceiling is lower than the car's size suggests.
-
32amp single phase is already ample
The car will not draw more, so the three-phase lead is the wrong purchase however large the battery is.
-
Shares its hardware with the Toyota bZ4X
The Solterra and bZ4X are the same car underneath, so the same Type 2 leads suit both.

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.
