Apec EV Charging Cable – 13A T1 Female-Uk PLUG W/Controller 5M (AEC104)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. AEC104

The Apec 13A Type 1 charging cable is a 5m portable charger that plugs into an ordinary UK household socket at one end and a Type 1 car inlet at the other, with an in-line controller managing the charge. It is the backup or occasional-use cable for older Type 1 electric and plug-in hybrid cars.

Good to know

• Will it fit my car? Only cars with a Type 1 inlet, mainly older models such as the first Nissan Leaf and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV; most newer cars have Type 2, which needs the Type 2 version.
• Can I plug it into an extension lead? No, plug it straight into a wall socket in good condition; an ordinary extension lead or adaptor can overheat over hours of charging at 13A.
• How fast will it charge? Slowly, as household sockets are limited to 13A; it suits overnight top-ups, visiting family or a backup when a wallbox is out of action.

Which one?

For a Type 2 car, the Apec EV Charging Cable – 13A T2 Female-Uk PLUG W/Controller 5M (AEC103); to keep it clean in the boot, the Ring EV Portable Charger Storage Bag (REVA105).
