Charging cable type 2 8 meter
An 8 meter charging cable is the most popular length for garages and carports. The cable comfortably reaches from your EV charger to your car’s charging port, without having to roll up meters of excess cable. Compact, practical and exactly long enough for most home situations.
Who is an 8 meter charging cable suitable for?
Is your EV charger close to your parking space, for example on the garage wall or on a short driveway? Then 8 meters is more than enough. Most standard garages in the Netherlands are between 5 and 6 meters deep. With 8 meters, you have enough flexibility to connect your car from different angles.
Do you drive multiple cars with different charging port positions (left, right, front)? Then an 8 meter cable gives you that little bit of extra flexibility without the clutter of a longer cable.
8 meter charging cable: which power should you choose?
The length of the cable has no effect on the charging power. An 8 meter cable delivers the same speed as a 5 meter cable. Choose the power based on your car and your home connection:
- 11 kW (3-phase, 16A): suitable for most electric cars
- 22 kW (3-phase, 32A): for faster chargers or if you want to choose future-proof
Do you have a 1-phase connection at home? Then you can charge at a maximum of 7.4 kW, regardless of which cable you buy. A 3-phase cable also works on 1-phase; you simply use one of the three phases.
