The 5-metre Type 2 cable is the shorter, more portable option for EV drivers who charge at the same charger each day and whose vehicle’s charge port is consistently within 5 metres of the charger socket position.
A shorter cable has practical advantages: less cable to coil and store, lighter weight for carrying in the boot, and less cable trailing on the ground during charging. For residential driveways where the car parks directly in front of a wall-mounted charger, 5 metres is typically sufficient to reach the vehicle’s charge port without excess cable.
Where there is uncertainty about vehicle positioning, or where the charger will be used by multiple vehicles in different positions, the 7-metre variant (EV-charger cable-7m) provides a more accommodating reach. Both cables support the same 7kW charging rate.
The EVGAFF Type 2 designation meets the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector standard, which is the universal EV charging standard in the UK and Europe, compatible with all current UK EV models that use a Type 2 inlet (the majority of EVs sold in the UK).
For EV owners and installers specifying a compact 5-metre Type 2 cable for residential socket chargers across London and the UK, the 5M EVGAFF provides the shorter cable option at the same 7kW charging rating.
