The Right Charging Cable for Your Kia Electric Vehicle
Kia is quickly becoming one of the most popular brands in the UK’s electric vehicle market. From the sleek Kia EV6 to the family-friendly e-Niro and Soul EV, Kia offers impressive tech, range, and reliability. But what about charging your Kia EV at home or on the go?
A key part of smooth EV ownership is choosing the right charging cable—one that suits your lifestyle, fits your charging setup, and keeps you powered wherever you park.
Let’s explore which EV charging cable is best for your Kia electric vehicle.
Which Connector Does My Kia EV Use?
Every fully electric Kia model in the UK—such as the Kia EV6, Niro EV, and Soul EV—uses a Type 2 connector, which is the European standard.
-
Type 2 to Type 2 cable – Best for home and public AC charging.
-
Type 2 single-phase or three-phase – Determines charging speed and compatibility.
-
3-pin to Type 2 cable – Ideal as a short term slow charging backup.
Rapid DC chargers (with CCS connectors) already have built-in cables, so you won’t need your own for motorway service stations or ultra-rapid networks.

What Length Cable Do I Need?
-
5m Cable – Great for driveways with nearby chargers.
-
7m Cable – Offers extra reach if your charge point is offset.
-
10m Cable – Best for shared spaces or if you're charging on-street.
- 15m Cable – Provides greater charging flexibility.
Longer cables won’t slow charging as long as they’re high-quality and properly rated. All EVwired cables are heat-resistant, waterproof (IP55), and built to deliver full speed—even at 15 metres.
