Overview

Driving a Type 1 electric car without a charging station? This is the simplest solution we sell. One end plugs into a domestic socket, the other into your car, and that is the whole installation. No external charging station required.

  • Plugs into any UK socket
  • IP66 weatherproof
  • Operating temperature: -30° to +50°
  • CE certified / TUV certified
  • Type 1 connector at the vehicle end
  • Current: 10A
  • Available in 5m and 10m
  • Free next-working-day UK delivery on orders over £150

At 10A this is not a fast charger, and it was never meant to be. What it is good at is making sure you can always put charge into the car: at a relative's house, a holiday cottage, or at home on the nights when a charge point is not an option. Plenty of Type 1 owners keep one in the boot and never begrudge the space.

Supplied with a two-year manufacturer warranty. See the rest of the range in granny chargers.

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 vehicle fit

    Made for Type 1 (SAE J1772) electric vehicles, charging from a standard UK domestic socket.

  • CE / TÜV certified

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

  • Charges from a 3-pin socket

    Plugs straight into a standard UK domestic socket, so you can top up anywhere there is a normal plug.

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.
What's the 3-pin option for?
The 3-pin (Mode 2 'granny') option lets you top up from a standard domestic socket at up to ~2.3kW when you're away from a wallbox. It's a backup for occasional use, not a daily charging method.
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.
