Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable work with my EV Charging Extension Cable?
Yes — the EV Charging Extension Cable uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) connector for AC charging, which is what this cable is. It plugs straight into the car's charge port and into any standard untethered Type 2 AC charge point.
How long will it take to charge my EV Charging Extension Cable?
Charging time depends on the wallbox or charger you're using and your vehicle's onboard charger. Most UK home wallboxes are 7.4kW single phase — full charge typically takes 6-10 hours.
Is this cable safe to use in the rain?
Yes — this cable is rated IP55, which means the connectors are protected against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It's safe to use in rain and typical UK weather conditions.
What's included in the 5-year warranty?
Our 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, including issues with the connectors, cable insulation, and internal wiring. It does not cover damage from misuse or physical impact.
Can I use this cable at public charging stations?
Yes — Type 2 is the standard AC connector across the UK and Europe. This cable works at all untethered Type 2 charge points including supermarket car parks, hotels, workplace chargers, lamp post chargers, and destination chargers from networks like Pod Point, BP Pulse, Osprey, and Connected Kerb.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most UK homes have single-phase electricity (7.4kW max). Three-phase is common in commercial settings and charges at up to 22kW. Check your wallbox spec — if it says "3-phase" or "22kW", choose three-phase. For home use, single-phase is usually sufficient.
All our Type 2 cables work with any EV using a Type 2 (Mennekes) port — Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Tesla, Kia, Hyundai, Ford and most UK models. Use the Find My Cable checker on the home page to confirm your specific model.
5M works well when your wallbox is directly beside your parking space. 10M gives extra reach and is better if you charge at varied locations. When in doubt, go 10M — extra cable is easier to manage than one that doesn't reach.
IP55 is an international standard for dust and water resistance. It means our cables are protected against dust ingress and water jets from any direction — safe to use in rain, frost, and damp conditions year-round.
