The Benefits of a 7M Type 2 EV Charging Cable
Choosing the right EV charging cable makes everyday charging simpler and more efficient — especially at home. While cables come in a range of lengths, the 7-metre Type 2 cable has become the sweet spot for most UK electric vehicle drivers, offering the perfect balance between convenience, reach, and flexibility.
Whether you’re charging on the driveway, at work, or using public charge points, a 7m Type 2 cable gives you more freedom to park and plug in without compromising charging speed.

Why Most EV Drivers Choose a 7M Cable
1. Perfect Balance of Reach and Manageability
A 7-metre charging cable provides plenty of reach for most setups — long enough to connect easily from your wall box to your car, even if your charging port is on the opposite side, but not so long that it becomes bulky or tangled.
2. Ideal for Home and Public Charging
At home, a 7m cable allows flexibility if you park in different positions or need to charge from the opposite side of the driveway. When out and about, it ensures you can comfortably reach charge points at car parks, hotels, or shopping centres where access can vary.
3. No Impact on Charging Speed
Many drivers assume longer cables slow charging — they don’t. A 7-metre cable delivers the same power as a shorter one. Whether you’re using a single-phase 7.4kW home charger or a three-phase 22kW public charger, a 7m Type 2 cable performs just as efficiently.
4. Compatible with All Type 2 Electric Vehicles
Type 2 is the European charging standard, meaning a 7m Type 2 to Type 2 cable will work with almost every modern electric vehicle in the UK, including:
-
Tesla (Model 3, Model Y).
-
BMW i Series.
-
Volkswagen ID. range.
-
Nissan Ariya.
-
Kia EV6 and Niro EV.
-
Audi e-tron, Polestar, MG, and many more.
If your EV has a Type 2 socket, this cable is fully compatible.
Single-Phase vs Three-Phase: What You Need to Know
EVwired’s 7m Type 2 cables are available in both single-phase (7.4kW) and three-phase (22kW) versions.
-
Single-phase 32A (7.4kW): Ideal for home charging using a standard UK supply.
-
Three-phase 32A (22kW): Perfect for workplace or public chargers — and future-proof for faster charging stations.
Even if your home charger only supports 7.4kW, choosing a 22kW 3-phase cable ensures compatibility with faster chargers when you’re out and about.
