Please Read Before You Buy

Our cables are normally returned for one of the reasons below. Reading this information will help to avoid the common reasons why a charging cable is sent back to us. Please also read all the information on this page as it contains important information about this Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable.

Is your vehicle already supplied with a Type 2 charging cable? Please ask your dealer / seller if they have included a Mode 3, Type 2 to Type 2 cable with your vehicle.

Is your cable long enough? Measure the length from your wall charger to the Type 2 vehicle socket, where your vehicle will usually be parked. Add half a metre to avoid overstretching the cable. If you are using the charging cable with a public charging point, the 5 metre cable (8M for a spiral cable) is recommended as the 3 metre length can sometimes be too short.

Is this an extension cable? No. This cable cannot be used to extend or convert a tethered cable or home / mains charger. The cable can only be used to plug directly in to the Type 2 socket of the charging station. If a cable is already attached to the charging station, this cable will not work.

Is this the correct type of charging cable for my vehicle? If you know that your vehicle has a Type 2 socket, then this Type 2 cable is compatible with your vehicle. If you are unsure, use our EV Cable Finder.

Is this a rapid charging cable? This is not a CCS cable. If you want a cable to use with a DC rapid charger, you do not need to buy one as the cable is always attached to the unit. Read more about this below.

Cable Care & Warranty

Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables have a 24 months manufacturer warranty. However, following the instructions and safety information for using your Type 2 to Type 2 cable will help to ensure years of trouble-free use and you can also register for a 5 year extended warranty. In case you do not receive the user booklet, please notify us.

Use A BMW i3 Compatible 22kW Spiral Cable For Connecting All Models Of The BMW i3 To A Type 2 Socket Charging Point

Our 22kW Type 2 to Type 2 spiral charging cable will provide up to 22kW and can be plugged into the Type 2 socket of the BMW i3 and any Type 2 charging point (such as a home wallbox) that does not have a cable already attached to it. It does not matter if the charging point is 3 Phase or 1 Phase because the charging point will calculate how much current your BMW i3 will accept and how much current the cable can handle. The cable can therefore be used with ALL Type 2 charging points with an open socket and the Type 2 socket of the BMW i3. This cable is not an extension cable and it will not work if it is connected to another Type 2 plug. It is therefore not suitable for charging points with a cable already attached to it (a tethered cable) or as an extension for any other Mode 3 charging cable or Mode 2 charger. The working length of a spiral cable is about 2 metres below their stated length.

Is This 22kW Spiral Cable Compatible With The BMW i3?

Choosing The Correct Charging Cable

Our Type 2 coiled cables adhere to the IEC 62196-2 standard. This ensures compatibility with Type 2 socket charging points and any Type 2 socket-equipped vehicle, such as the BMW i3.

The vehicle and charging point will communicate with each other to ensure that the precise amount of current is delivered to the vehicle. Therefore, it does not matter if a charging cable can supply less or more power than the vehicle can accept.

This cable is therefore suitable for charging the Type 2 socket of the BMW i3. Please note that the manufacturer of this vehicle did not manufacture this charging cable.

Most electric vehicles sold in Europe have a Type 2 socket, which will either be a 7 hole charging socket or a 9 hole CCS (DC rapid charging) socket. CCS (Combined Charging Socket), accommodates the Type 2 cable in its 7 hole upper chamber.

Is This Cable Waterproof?

Cable: The cable is waterproof as long as there are no cuts or tears in the cable sheath.

Type 2 Plug: The Type 2 plugs are built with an outer shell that will withstand rain and snow when connected to the vehicle socket. So your cable is effectively waterproof when it is charging your vehicle.

A common way for water to enter the Type 2 plugs is when the plug caps are replaced after charging. The plug caps must always be replaced after charging your vehicle, but do ensure that the inside of both plug caps are dry. Avoid leaving the plugs lying around outside, do not drag or drop the Type 2 plugs on the ground and store the charging cable in a dry place when not in use.

Choice Of Cable Bags

We provide a free canvas cable bag (suitable for cables up to 15M) to store this charger when not in use. You can also upgrade the bag to a cable case made from EVA material for enhanced waterproofing and impact protection. The EVA case has an elasticated strap in the bottom compartment and elasticated mesh pocket in the top. So it allows convenient storage of two cables. The EVA case can therefore carry 2 cables if each cable does not exceed 10 metres length (20M total length).
