Single or 3-phase cables

In order to charge a vehicle using fast or rapid/ ultrafast chargers, such as 11kW or 22kW, the charging unit will need a three-phase electricity supply.

Domestic homes in the UK, unless altered, run on a single-phase electricity supply, as they do not need to power high-consumption devices, like those seen in data centres.

However, our EV Charging Cables are compatible with both single and 3-phase power, allowing you to access commercial charging via rapid and ultrafast chargers (e.g., at public charging stations) and charge your electric cars three times faster than when using a Type 2 EV charger.

Tethered and untethered cables

Home chargers are often fitted with Type 2 tethered cables that remain in situ, allowing the driver to quickly plug into their main charging unit, without looking for or getting out separate cables. While one end of the Type 2 tethered cable is equipped with a plug, the other end consists of loose wires that must be directly wired into an EV charging unit.

Untethered cables are often purchased as a supplementary to the tethered cable, allowing drivers to connect to any type of public Type 2 sockets while out and about.

These are available in a variety of lengths and amperages to match your vehicle’s charging capacity, which can be found in your vehicle’s handbook if you are unsure.

These can be stored safely and securely inside EV charging cable bags, which are waterproof, dust and corrosion-resistant, ensuring that your cable is safe during transport and lasts as long as possible. The cable pages are available at a cost effective fair price.
