Why Choose a 15M Type 2 Charging Cable?
As the UK’s electric vehicle infrastructure grows, so does the demand for flexible charging solutions. Whether you’re parking on the street, using a communal charging point, or dealing with tight parking spaces, a longer cable can be the difference between frustration and freedom.
That’s where the 15-metre Type 2 EV charging cable comes in.
At EVwired, we understand the real-life charging challenges faced by EV drivers across the UK. In this article, we break down the top benefits of choosing a longer 15M Type 2 charging cable and why it might be the perfect fit for your charging needs.
What Is a Type 2 Charging Cable?
A Type 2 charging cable is the standard connector used by most electric vehicles in the UK and Europe. It features a 7-pin plug and is compatible with all public AC chargers and home wall boxes that use untethered sockets.
Most EVs—including those from Tesla, Kia, BMW, MG, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mercedes, Nissan and more—use the Type 2 connector for AC charging.
The Main Benefits of a 15M Type 2 EV Charging Cable
1. Greater Parking Flexibility
If your charger is positioned awkwardly or your vehicle is parked further away—like on the street, at a workplace, or in a shared residential car park—a 15-metre cable ensures you’re never out of reach.

No need to reverse awkwardly into tight spots.

Perfect for terraced homes or flats without driveways.

4. Ideal for Public Charging Stations
Public chargers are often untethered (you bring your own cable), and they aren’t always ideally located. A 15M EV cable gives you the flexibility to reach charging points regardless of how you’re parked—especially useful in busy car parks or supermarkets.
5. Great for EV Owners Without Driveways
If you park on the street or in communal areas, a longer cable can connect your car to your charger—even if it’s mounted on your property wall or at the end of a long garden.
