SHORT CABLES - 1.8 to 3 metres

The advantage of a short cable is having a small amount of cable to either carry in the vehicle or trailing from the charger.

STANDARD CABLES - 5 to 10 metres

This is the minimum in terms of charging length to have a degree of versatility to charge.

The average vehicle is approximately 4 m long. If you consider you need to come down from the charger 3- pin socket and back up to the vehicle again that’s another 1 metre the basic minimum length to practically charge is 5 metres.

 With the above in mind 7 metres can make the charging experience a more comfortable fit and reduces the risk of creating a skipping rope scenario at your charge location.

 A 10 metre cable is ideal if you have a short distance to travel from your charger/3 pin socket to where your vehicle is regularly charged. 

LONGER CABLES - 15 to 20 metres 

Often used where cars double park to charge as is often common on a driveway giving you the versatility to the vehicle parked at the back or when travelling away from home and wanting versatility of the longer length from a charging point.

 VERY LONG CABLES - 25 to 30 metres 

These length cables are rarely transported owing to the amount of cable.  They are usually in a near permanent location.

 POWER LOSS ON LONGER CABLES

We are frequently asked whether with longer and very long cable a power loss occurs. The answer to this question is a very small power loss will occur, but this will be negligible and not generally noticeable to the end user when using our high-quality cables.
