    Should opt for a 3-phase 22kW type 2 charging cable, to eliminate slow charging speed if you plug this single-phase cable into a 3-phase AC outlet.

    • +5

      That would only work if your car accepts three phase charging.

      • +13

        Which one do I need for my new G63?

        • +4

          This one is not compatible as it’s too slow

          • +1

            @sunnyc: still compatible, it just wont charge at the cars top charging rate of 11kw AC

  • +11

    Some advice from an owner of multiple EV's - most of the time I'd recommend getting a 3 phase 22kW charging cable (even if you currently have an EV which only supports single phase 7.4kw (or less) AC charging and/or if you only have single phase power at home). You can get 3 phase 22kW cables for not much more than this and it's more future proof (e.g. if you ever decide to upgrade your EV (to one which supports 11kW or 22kW AC charging))

    One reason I might consider a 7kW single phase cable is if weight is a factor and you need a lighter charging cable to be able to pick it up and plug in

    • +7

      It's a fair point, but the vast majority of the current market and the upcoming models do not support more than 10kW charging. It doesn't look like there'll be a sudden flood of 22kW-capable charging vehicles.

      Could change in 3-5 years, but I don't think I'd stress too much about a $100 cable needing to be replaced.

      • +3

        This is OzBargain. We are stressed over every cent ;)

      • +1

        All Tesla's charge at 12kW AC min, its worth getting a 3 phase if you own a Tesla.

        • +5

          You probably meant 11kW max.

        • Minimum for all EVs is 6 amps single phase.

        • +1

          11kW max. 11kW 3 phase cables can be had for around $120, which is what I would recommend for a Tesla.

          • +3

            @Jayphen: I would never recommend an 11kw cable. What do you think happens if a Tesla owner tries to use it on a single phase charger? They would only get ~3.5kw. First choice is a 32A 3-phase cable (22kw) and second is a 32A single-phase cable (7kw). Never get a 16A cable unless you enjoy slow charging.

            • @loksmack: The 11kW cable 3 phase cable I would recommend is a 32A one. A 22kw cable would also charge at 3.5kw on a single phase charger if it were 16A. Both would charge at 7.36kW if it were 32A. The single-phase charger determines the maximum current and voltage in this scenario.

              Using a 3 phase charger, the 11kW cable would charge at 11kW. The 22kW cable would also charge at 11kW.

              • +1

                @Jayphen: There is no such thing as a 3 phase cable that does 32A but only 11kw. If its 3 phase and 32A, then its a 22kw cable.

                • +1

                  @loksmack: You are right, I was confidently wrong in this case. The cable must be 22kW

                  • +2

                    @Jayphen: An internet stranger admitting they were wrong is very refreshing. Thanks :)

                    • +2

                      @loksmack: It was a close battle, but my desire to be useful won over my desire to be right

    • +2

      Most cars are limited to somewhere between 7-11kW AC. Many don’t make this clear.

      I survive easily on a granny charger and while I would consider 7kW I wouldn’t bother paying more.

      • +3

        What happens if you want to charge at 11 kW at public AC charging stations, such as those at shopping centers? this cable can only support up to 7 kW.

          • +4

            @DingoBlue: There's literally tonnes of 22kW charging in Sydney. A lot of it is even free. Its the standard for commerical AC charging. In fact I can rattle off a bunch off the top of my head:

            Roselands, Ed Square, Entertainment Park, South Eveleigh, Broadway Westfield (and every other westfield), Rhodes shopping centre, not to mention Wollogong Central and Goulburn, local Middy's electrical wherever you are

            • @Jackson: Marina Square, DFO (but will be going paid next year)

        • +1

          Actually it's worse than that - I know of some (private) dual output 22kW chargers that were wired with three phase circuits but for some reason only 32A per phase (instead of 64A per phase) - so because this is shared across the two charging ports when you use a single phase cable to charge the EV it effectively only gets 16A from a single phase and only charges at a max of 3.6kW. If the EV supports 11kW 3 phase charging and you use a 3 phase cable you still get to charge at 11kW (even shared with another vehicle)

    • Could you share any links to recommended 3 phase 22kW charging cables? Would something like this for $159 suffice?

      https://www.amazon.com.au/bokman-Charging-Cable-Electric-Veh…

      • Probably would be fine - I wanted/needed a longer one so I got the Advwin 22kW Type 2 EV Charge Cable 8M (which is available at multiple places (Amazon, Bunnings, Woolies, Catch, etc) and the company at least has an Australian web site)

  • +2

    Seems like a great price, can anyone tell me if IEC and TUV certified and UKCA/CE compliant meets the criteria of not going to destroy the electrical of my car while also not potentially going to burn my house down? Anything else I should be looking for with these types of certification? TIA

    • I thought most home wall chargers come with a cable?

      • +1

        Most do, it’s more for when you travel as there are quite a few public charging options that’s BYO cable.

    • +3

      None of the above are suitable certifcations for Australia. Australia requires the RCM tick.

      I'm not saying that everything else that's Euro/US/UK certified but no RCM tick is garbage - just that if you have warranty/insurance problems, there's a pretty easy way to reject your claim. I imagine these are pretty rare too, these are just thick copper cables with no electronics.

      But in a nutshell: If the cable/charger doesn't have the RCM tick, you've got a warranty/insurance risk in AU.

      • +1

        Thanks, you answered my concerns perfectly. Appreciate the advice!

  • +1

    if the charging station is 22kw, when I use this cable, the maximum input will be limited to 7kw?

    currently, I am using a 22kw cable with 22kw for Tesla, the input is 11kw, this Iimition coming from Tesla.

    • nah its bc its split across two terminals so it halves it

    • Yep. That's why you buy 3 phase.

  • +3

    Yeah idk what the practical use case for these cables are. I bought one when I got my new atto 3 but then returned it before opening it. I charge my car at home on my 7kw charger, never drive more than 1 hour per day so never need to charge outside. If I was to go on a road trip I'd just use one of those fast chargers which I believe come with their own cable?

    Can anyone comment differently?

    • +2

      Yes, many public chargers include the cable.

      I get 614km range in my Hyundai so range anxiety is almost non existent. Most I've ever driven is about 300km round trip

    • +5

      Although I don’t have any separate cable, I did feel the need for one whilst holidaying at an NRMA park where it was a BYO cable!

    • +2

      Some home chargers don't include the cable, for example the Wattpilot.

    • +3

      free charging at dozens of shoppng centres and other places at up to 22kW. I have a car that does 22kW AC and I drove interstate mainly for free

      • Still don’t make too much sense unless you work at that shopping center tho? Who shops for more than half an hour :/ where everything is much cheaper in ozb

        • +4

          at 22kW I can get 150km of charge in an hour. If I drop into the supermarket and the grocer, I'm most of the way there. If I want to hang out and get a coffee, then even more. The trouble is that they are usually all being hogged by people who park all day and charge at 7kW. The government should really legislate that cars sold here are at least 22kW on board AC charging so that there isn't a ridiculous burden on places to have heaps of chargers just so people can have a go.

          Lots of people don't have the option to charge at their unit, and don't have solar, making shop charging the potentially easiest and cheapest way to charge.

          • @Jackson: Make it paid. Leeches will go away after that. Woolies went paid and so did Sydney Markets. Always get a spot now if I need to.

            • @slankets: Yeah, but why not just legislate that cars should have faster chargers? What's the benefit of having slower ones? They are a few bucks cheaper and a few grams lighter, but they screw up the users who can't charge as fast, the charging hosts who now only help a single person a day because of long term users, and the other owners who can't even get a charger. You could fine people (never going to happen in private spaces) and you could make it cost money, but why not just legislate since that's the best outcome?

              After having a car with a 22kW charger, it's a game changer, especially if you are paying for electricity at home/don't have solar. If it was an option I reckon you would be mad not to shell out for it

              • @Jackson: Cars have DC fast charging. Just need more DC fast chargers. AC chargers are for homes, DC should be for any public charging

                • @0 0 0: DC charging is infinitely more expensive to install that AC charging, and also far more prone to failure. Far easier to implement AC charging. If 3 AC chargers do the job of 1 DC, then it will still be far, far cheaper

      Most Exploren chargers is BYO cable. So yeah, handy if you have one.

    • It's like wireless charger for android , hardly use but still buy it

    Good to see an EV deal but definitely worth getting a 22kw cable for a little more

  • Can this be used as an extension lead?

  • -2

    Hmmm is this brand good? Some recent EV fires were linked to bad quality 3rd party charging cables.

    • There has been one recently where a travel adaptor was used with the OEM charging cable from Japan. A big no no for a lot of reasons. Certainly not a spate of them.

  • Wow, this would be great for affordable audiophile speaker cables!

  • +1

    Is this a good cable for MG4?

    • +1

      I believe the MG4 Long Range can charge at 11kw, so you would want a 22kw / three phase cable for that.

      I believe the rest of the line-up can only charge at 6.6kw, so this cable would be fine.

      • Im on an excite

        • +1

          Excite 51 or Excite 64? Different batteries and charge rate.

  • $88, less than a tank of 95

    • That's just the charging cable. You still have to pay for the electricity fee some times as not all AC charging spots are free.

      • Just imagine having to carry a hose in the "trunk" to buy fuel every other week.
