Which Charging Cable Is Right for Your MG Electric Vehicle?

MG’s electric range is becoming a firm favourite among UK drivers—and for good reason. Whether you’re driving the sleek MG4 EV, the family-friendly MG ZS EV, or the practical MG5 EV, owning an MG electric vehicle offers great value, range, and features.

But to make the most of your EV experience, it’s important to pick the right EV charging cable—one that matches your vehicle’s specs and your charging routine.

At EVwired, we help you get it right the first time.

What Connector Type Do MG EVs Use?

All current MG electric vehicles sold in the UK use a Type 2 charging port for AC charging.

• Type 2 to Type 2 cable – Perfect for home chargers and untethered public charge points.

• 3-pin to Type 2 cable – Useful for slow emergency charging via standard UK plugs.

• 3-phase cable – Enables faster AC charging at compatible public charge points.

You don’t need to bring your own cable for public rapid DC charging—those chargers come with cables already tethered.

What Length Charging Cable Should I Get?

Here’s how to decide based on your charging setup:

• 5 Metres – Great for close-range charging at home or work.

• 7 Metres – Provides more flexibility, especially if parking isn’t always consistent.

• 10 Metres – Ideal for on-street or communal charging bays.

• 15 Metres – Perfect for harder to reach areas, providing greater flexibility.
