Delivery
We offer free UK delivery on all of our cables.
Most orders placed before our 3pm cut-off are placed on a free, next business day courier service.
Orders placed after 3pm will be dispatched the following day on the same service. Delivery to certain locations will take slightly longer, please refer to the table on our delivery information page.
Please note that we do not dispatch orders on weekends or bank holidays.
At EV Wired we provide Type 1 charging cables with either a Type 1 or 13A 3-pin Plug vehicle connector.
The Type 1 vehicle connector (also known as an SAE J1772 or ‘J plug’) is a 5-pin connector, designed for 120 V / 240 V single phase electrical systems – the North American (and Japanese) standard.
In UK and Europe 220-230 V electrical systems Type 1 connectors are uncommon, and instead a Type 2 connector is used. A manual locking mechanism is a common feature of Type 1 connectors, which may be used alongside a padlock for extra security.
Vehicles with a Type 1 connector are compatible with Mode 3 Charging - also known as ‘Fast’ charging. Mode 3 charges your electric vehicle at either 16A (3.6kWh) or 32A (7.2kWh), although your maximum charge rate is determined by the charging station, vehicle, and cable used.
‘Fast’ charge stations can be found at service stations and larger businesses such as retail parks and leisure centres, on main routes or at long-stay car parks.
