Overview
Model S charging speeds vary by version. Depending on which one you have, the car will take a maximum of somewhere between 16.5kW and 22kW on AC. That is unusually high for a private car, and it is exactly why we point Model S owners at the three-phase lead rather than the single-phase one.
The Type 2 to Type 2 three-phase 32A 22kW cable fills the battery in only 4h30m. The single-phase 32A lead takes ten hours flat for the same job, and the 16A version over twenty. If you have a three-phase supply at home, or you use 22kW public posts, that difference is well worth having.
We supply the Model S cable in two lengths, 5m and 10m. It is fully compatible with UK and EU standard charging points, so workstations, household chargers and public units are all covered by the one lead. It is a thick, properly made Type 2 cable with rubber covers to keep the connectors clean and protected between charges, and it is completely weatherproof, TUV and CE certified.

Run-over proof
Built to take the weight of a car, so you can drive over the cable without damaging it (protection against pressure).
-
All-weather rated
Rated IP55, with the Type 2 to 3-Pin version rated IP67, and built to operate from -30°C to +60°C, so it charges reliably through UK rain, frost and summer heat.
-
Universal Type 2 fit
Works with all Type 2 electric vehicles and every UK/EU home wallbox and public AC charge point. No brand lock-in.
-
CE / TÜV certified
Independently certified to CE and TÜV, and built to the IEC 62196-2 Type 2 connector standard.
-
3-pin option for home sockets
Choose the 3-pin version to top up from a standard UK domestic socket when there is no wallbox nearby. It is a separate cable option, not an attachment.
-
Three-phase option
Pick the 32A three-phase version to charge at up to 22kW where a three-phase supply is available. The single-phase versions charge at up to 7.2kW on a standard home wallbox.

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.
