Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My LEVC EV?

LEVC electric vehicles are becoming increasingly recognised across the UK thanks to their practical range-extender technology, spacious interiors, and strong focus on urban and commercial transport.

Whether you drive a LEVC TX, LEVC VN5, or another LEVC electric vehicle.

One of the first questions many owners ask is: which charging cable should I get for my LEVC EV?

Choosing the right EV charging cable helps make charging easier, convenient, and much more flexible. 

In this guide, we’ll discuss: which charging connector LEVC EVs use, various charging cable lengths, and home and public charging recommendations.

What Charging Connector Does an LEVC EV Use?

Modern LEVC electric vehicles use a Type 2 charging connector. This is the standard EV charging connection used across the UK and Europe.

Type 2 compatibility allows charging from:

  • Home wall-box chargers.

  • Workplace charging stations.

  • Public AC charging points.

LEVC vehicles also support CCS rapid charging. Rapid charging stations already have tethered cables attached, so you won’t need to bring your own cable.

Which Charging Cable Do You Need?

For everyday charging, most LEVC owners will need a Type 2 to Type 2 EV charging cable. 

This cable is essential for:

  • Home charging.

  • Workplace charging.

  • Public AC charging stations.

Having your own cable gives you access to a much wider range of charging points across the UK.

Home Charging for an LEVC EV

Home charging remains the cheapest and most convenient way to charge your vehicle.

Benefits include:

  • Overnight charging convenience.

  • Lower electricity costs using off-peak tariffs.

  • Starting every working day with a charged battery.

Recommended setup:

  • 7kW home wall box charger.

  • Type 2 charging cable.

  • Longer cable length for flexibility.

For most drivers and businesses, overnight charging provides more than enough range for everyday driving.

Which Cable Length is Best for an LEVC EV?

Charging cable length can make a big difference to convenience, especially for larger commercial-style vehicles.

5 Metres - Best for:

  • Compact and smaller driveways.

  • Chargers positioned closer to the vehicle.

7 Metres - Best for:

  • Chargers positioned further away from the vehicle.

  • Taxi and van charging.

  • Shared parking spaces.

10 or 15 Metres - Best for:

  • Chargers positioned far away from the vehicle. 

  • Busy commercial depots.

  • Maximum flexibility for fleet and taxi charging. 

Public Charging with an LEVC EV

Many public AC charging stations in the UK are untethered. This means that you'll need to bring your own cable to charge your vehicle.

Longer charging cables are particularly useful for:

  • Taxi ranks with busy charging.

  • Commercial vehicle parking.

  • Busy public charging bays.

  • Shared workplace charging areas.

A longer cable helps make charging easier and more efficient during busier work days.

Charging Speeds Explained

Charging speeds depend on the charger being used.

Charger Type Typical Speed Best Use
3-pin plug Slow charging Emergency or occasional use
7kW wall-box Standard home/workplace charging Everyday overnight charging
22kW AC charger Faster public charging Top-ups
Rapid charger Very fast charging Business and long-distance 

For many LEVC drivers, combining overnight charging with occasional rapid charging provides the best balance of convenience and efficiency.

Why Taxi and Commercial Drivers Often Prefer Longer Cables

Vehicles like the LEVC TX and VN5 are commonly used for:

  • Taxi work.

  • Commercial driving.

  • Fleet operations.

  • Urban transport services.

A longer EV charging cable provides drivers with:

  • More flexibility.

  • Easier charger access.

  • Less downtime at busy charging stations.

Longer cables are becoming increasingly popular among commercial EV drivers across the UK.
