What is the optimal charging cable length?

If you use the charging cable in a place, such as your home or at work, choose the optimal length for your given situation. Usually it is 4 or 6 meters. If the cable is mainly used on the road or in different places (where another vehicle could be parked between the charging station and your vehicle), we recommend that you choose more length: 6 or 8 meters is a good choice in this case.

What is the weight of charging cables?

The weight of the charging cable can be calculated by adding half a kilo per meter and one kilo for the two connectors. An 8 meter charging cable weighs about 5 kilograms. The exact weight is displayed in the properties of each product.

How fast can this cable charge?

• An electric car can drive an average of 5.5 km  on 1 kWh of stored energy in the battery.
• The maximum current for this charging cable is 16A with a maximum of 3 phases (400V). If this cable is connected to a charging station which can supply at least 3 phase 16A, this cable can supply about 11 kW continuous power.
• So, if the car is charging with the maximum 11kW, it means that this 11 kWh (kilowatt hour) can charge in one hours, which roughly corresponds to a range of 60 km (5.5 km x 11kWh).
• With this, the maximum charging speed of the cable is 60 km/hour (least connected to a charging point of at least 3 phase 16A).

Please note that the actual loading speed also depends on the charging speed of the car's AC built-in charger. Click here  to see what AC charger your car has.
