Your Ultimate Guide to EV Charging Cables

• Tethered chargers have cables attached and can be a more convenient choice for home charging

• It’s better to always have a cable with you in case you need to use a public charging point (as most are untethered)

• Don’t get a larger size cable than you need – they are heavy, expensive and take up lots of room

• The power of your cable must correspond with the power of the untethered charger box for best results

• Most UK and European EV’s use a Type 2 to Type 2 charge connection but it is important to check your vehicle specifically

• Tethered chargers, locks or security cameras are some of the ways in which you can protect your cables from theft

• It is completely safe to charge your EV or PHEV in the rain and take them through a car wash
