Overview

The Vauxhall Ampera needs a Type 1 EV charger cable to connect to a charging station, or to a charge point installed at home or the office.

We supply these charging cables in two lengths, 5m and 10m. All of them are CE and TUV approved and come with dust covers and caps to protect the connectors from weather and dust between charges.

Every Ampera cable carries a two year warranty and free UK delivery over £150. Browse our wider EV charging cable range.

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. The Type 2 version plugs into any UK/EU home wallbox or public AC charge point.

  • CE / TÜV certified

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

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

Is this cable compatible with the Vauxhall Ampera?
It will, yes. This is a Type 2 charging cable and the Vauxhall Ampera uses a Type 2 inlet. If you're unsure, check your car's charge port has a 7-pin Type 2 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

  • 10m and 5m cables for untethered charger use

    Bought one 10m cable to use with an untethered wall charger at home. Very impressed with quality so bought a second 5m cable to keep in the van in case I needed to use an untethered charger when on the road. Cables are well made and sufficiently flexible to allow easy use. I particularly like the fact that there are covers fitted at both ends to keep the contacts clean when not in use - many cables only have a cover at one end. Customer service and prompt delivery were first rate.

    Fantastic service. Honestly can't recommend them enough. Cable arrived the very next day after I ordered it, worked perfectly, and when I needed to ask a follow-up question, the customer service was second to none, truly. 5 star service from start to finish and beyond.

  • 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.
