Charging cable 10 meter

Ten metres is the most popular length for a charging cable, and for good reason. It covers almost every home situation without unnecessary dragging caused by excessive cable weight. At Wallboxdiscounter, you can buy a 10 metre charging cable from just €119, from brands such as Loady, Ratio Electric and myenergi. Fifteen different models in 1-phase and 3-phase, from 3.7 to 22 kW.

Why 10 metres is the best all-rounder

The average distance from a home EV charger on the wall to the charging port of a car on the driveway is four to six metres. With a 10 metre cable, you therefore have enough flexibility to park your car differently or use a shared driveway. At the same time, the weight remains manageable: a 10 metre type 2 cable of 22 kW weighs around five kilos, making it easy to handle.

Available power ratings in 10 metre versions:

• 3.7 kW (1-phase, 16A) for plug-in hybrids
• 7.4 kW (1-phase, 32A) for daily home charging on 1-phase
• 11 kW (3-phase, 16A) for faster charging on 3-phase
• 22 kW (3-phase, 32A) for maximum home charging power

The sharpest price: Loady from €119

The most affordable 10 metre cable in the range is the Loady type 2 with open end or type 2 to type 2, both from €119 for 7.4 kW and 11 kW versions. A Loady 22 kW 10 metre cable costs €149. If you want a sturdier cable, take a look at the Ratio Basic Line (from €169 for 11 kW) or the E-line series with a thicker sheath.

Which 10 metre charging cable fits your car?

The right choice depends on two things: your home connection and the maximum charging capacity of your car. If you have a 1-phase connection, you can charge at a maximum of 7.4 kW. With a 3-phase connection, you can choose 11 or 22 kW. Do pay attention to your car’s specifications, because many EVs accept a maximum of 11 kW AC. A 22 kW cable works perfectly on such a car, but will not charge faster than the onboard charger allows.

For an EV charger with socket, choose a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For fixed installation in an EV charger (for example mounted on the wall yourself), choose a cable with open end.

Frequently asked questions about 10 metre charging cables

Does a 10 metre cable work on any EV charger?

Almost always. As long as your EV charger has a Type 2 socket (the European standard), a 10 metre Type 2 cable fits without any problem. Check in advance whether your EV charger has a separate socket or a fixed cable; with a fixed cable, you do not need a separate charging cable.

Does a 10 metre cable charge more slowly than a shorter cable?

No, with cable lengths up to 15 metres, voltage loss is negligible. A 10 metre 22 kW cable charges just as fast as a 5 metre 22 kW cable.

How much does a 10 metre charging cable weigh?

That depends on the power rating. A 7.4 kW cable weighs around 3 kilos, while a 22 kW 3-phase cable weighs around 5 kilos. Perfectly manageable for daily use.

10 metres or longer?

Is 10 metres just not enough? Then view the 15 metre charging cables for extra reach. Measure the distance between the EV charger and charging port in advance and add two extra metres for comfortable connection.
