Overview

These Type 1 tethered charging cables are for professional EV charging station installers only. A tethered lead is permanently attached to the EV charging station rather than unplugged and put away after every session.

For a car that lives on the same drive or in the same garage every night, that is a real convenience: no messing about with storing the cable away when you are using it every evening.

The specification is a Type 1 to Type 1 connection, single-phase, 32A, rated to 7.2kW, in 5m and 10m. The cable is IP55 rated, rated for use from -30°C to +60°C, and built run-over proof so it survives being driven across. CE marked and TUV certified, with a 24 month manufacturer warranty.

Features

  • 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 and built to operate from -30°C to +60°C, so it charges reliably through UK rain, frost and summer heat.

  • Type 1 tethered lead

    A tethered lead for use with a wallbox, made for Type 1 (SAE J1772) electric vehicles.

  • CE / TÜV certified

    Independently certified to CE and TÜV, and built to the IEC 62196-2 Type 1 (SAE J1772) connector standard.

Installation

  1. 01Unlock the car - most won't accept a cable while locked.
  2. 02Wallbox end first, then the car. Push until the latch clicks.
  3. 03Check the car shows a charging state before you walk away.
  4. 04Coil loosely into the bag - no tight figure-of-eights.

FAQs

Will this cable fit my car?
Yes, if your car has a Type 1 inlet. Almost every EV sold new in the UK since 2018 uses Type 2; Type 1 appears on older and imported models. Check your charge port has a 5-pin Type 1 socket, or use our reg checker.
Which cable length should I choose?
Most driveways are fine with 5m. Choose 7-10m if the charge point is wall-mounted away from where you park or your charge port is on the far side of the car, and 15-20m for on-street or awkward layouts. Available here in 5m, 10m.
Can I use it at public charge points as well as at home?
Yes. This is a Mode 3 Type 2 cable, so it works at your home wallbox and at any untethered public AC charge point. Rapid DC chargers (motorway) come with their own tethered cables, so you don't need one for those.
Is it safe to leave outside in the rain?
Yes. The cable and connectors are rated IP55 and built for -30°C to +60°C, so they're safe in UK rain, frost and snow. Don't submerge the connectors in standing water.
What warranty and delivery do I get?
Free next-working-day UK delivery on orders over £150, with 30-day returns on unused items. Warranty: 24 months (2 years) manufacturer warranty.

What customers say about us

  • 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.
