The 20m EV charging cable for parking well away from the supply
Twenty metres is for homes where the parking and the power don't line up: a car kept on the street outside, a wallbox in a rear garage, or a shared drive where your space sits two car lengths from the wall. Measure the route the cable will actually take, around walls and gates rather than through them, and give yourself a metre spare.
It's a straight 7kW single phase Type 2 cable with IP65 water resistance and IK10 impact protection along its full length, charging at UK home speed: a full battery overnight, in around 8 hours. It also pairs well with an untethered (socketed) charger: mount the charger by the house and let the cable cover the distance, instead of paying for groundworks to take power across the driveway.
Coiled cables top out at 15m, so at this length it's straight only. Need the full stretch? See the 30m.
7kW or 22kW? Match the cable to where you charge
Most homes charge at 7kW. Faster 22kW charging needs three phase power, which some workplaces and commercial sites have.
Recommended for home
7kW single phase: this cable
- Best for home charging. UK homes are single phase.
- Up to 7.4kW through one live wire.
- Full charge in around 8 hours. Ideal overnight.
For workplace charging
22kW three phase
- Best for workplaces, commercial sites and fleet depots.
- Up to 22kW through three live wires.
- Full charge in around 3 hours where three phase power is available.
Good to know: charging speed depends on your vehicle, so you may not achieve the full 22kW. Many EVs accept up to 7.4kW or 11kW on AC.

Not sure? You can't really get this wrong. A 22kW cable still works at home, it just charges at your home's 7kW speed. If you only charge at home, the 7kW cable does the same job for less.The Cord team
