Experience Worry-Free EV Charging with unmatched Safety and Personalisation 

Engineered for Durability and Reliability — Your Trusted, Tailor-Made Solution

Introducing the Wottz Type 2 EV Cable (available in  7.4kW or 3.7kW, 2 to 50m), your ideal companion for electric vehicle charging at home. This Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable is crafted with precision and care in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, surpassing safety benchmarks and industry standards, offering you an unmatched combination of safety, value, and personalisation.

• Comprehensive Quality Assurance: Every Type 2 EV charger cable is subjected to an exhaustive digital testing across 50 specialised metrics. This includes insulation resistance, continuity, phase rotation, four-wire Kelvin low-resistance, and coding resistor tests. This rigorous approach ensures unparalleled safety and reliability for peace of mind. 
• Precision-Engineered Hyperboloid Contacts: Designed for ultimate durability with up to 10,000 mating cycles, each contact is sized-matched and hydraulically crimped to its corresponding conductor core, ensuring an optimal, safe connection with minimal heat generation. 
• Advanced Silver Coating: Boosts conductivity while offering superior protection against water corrosion, thanks to a 5-micrometre coating on each contact.
• Enhanced Oversized Pilot Core for Signal Integrity: Unlike the industry-standard 0.5mm² pilot cores used for charge point-to-vehicle communication, our EV cable Type 2 features an oversized 0.75mm² pilot core. It reduces the risk of communication failure in two key ways: (a) by enhancing the cable's resilience to prolonged flexing, which could otherwise cause the pilot wire to break, and (b) by mitigating voltage drop—an issue particularly relevant for cables longer than 5 metres—that could compromise signal integrity. 
• Personalisation: Choose from a variety of lengths and colours to fit your unique needs, with cables from 2m to 50m and in 3 colours (black, blue, yellow) 
• Lightweight & Ultra-Flexible: Our proprietary Wottz Cable Flex technology ensures our Type 2 charging cables are lightweight and flexible without sacrificing durability, making it easier for you to carry, coil, and store them when you're on the go. 
• Superior Water Resistance: IP54 rating and plug covers for ultimate protection. 
• Eco-Friendly: With every Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable, we plant a tree, and our cables are designed to be repairable, extending their lifespan and reducing our carbon footprint. 
• Free Cable Bag: Each Wottz Standard Charging Cable (up to 15m) comes with a complimentary cable bag, aiding in easy cable management and storage while enhancing portability. 
• Wottz 2-Year Warranty: Peace of mind guaranteed by a ‘Made in Britain’ manufacturer.

Cable Care & Charging Saftey

• The cable should be kept out of puddles but can be kept outside.
• Please remember to use the rubber dust cover to keep debris from collecting in the connector when not in use.
• Moisture is the most common issue experienced and will lead to corrosion of the pins which are not covered by our warranty.

What are the risks of charging in the rain?

Water can still get into the plug and charging socket during the insertion and removal of the plug from the car. In fact, as soon as you open the charge port or unplug your car, the rain will get onto the pins and stay there until the next time you charge.

Please note: This EV cable is NOT an extension cable.

Weatherproof - The weatherproof socket's IP66 rating means that it remains watertight, even when subject to powerful water jets from any direction. Unlike any DIY store extension leads which are often sold as 'weatherproof', this lead can actually be used for prolonged periods outside. 

Simple - It simply connects to a UK 13A socket, and enables the granny charger to be extended by 2m to 25m. 

Protective - The inline RCD is a life-saving device that is designed to reduce the risk of receiving a fatal electric shock. 

Letterbox connection- If the extension needs to be run through a letterbox on your front door, an optional extra connection can be added onto the cable which enables you to run the cable through your letterbox! Minimum opening size 25mm

This is the only weatherproof extension lead available in the UK with a socket that can accommodate the chunkier 13A plugs now fitted to many EV chargers.

Whilst standard DIY store extension leads are manufactured from plastic connectors and cheap, easy-to-damage 1.25mmsq max PVC cable, these leads are in a different league. They are carefully constructed in our UK workshop from European manufactured (subject to stock) 1.5mmsq H07RN-F rubber cable, which is specifically manufactured for harsh environments; its safety and performance under extreme conditions simply cannot be beaten. The IP66 weatherproof socket provides protection even against powerful water jets (so it can withstand even the Great British Weather!) and has proven itself over the years as an exceptionally robust unit.

Specification:

• Available in 2m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m and 25m lengths - select the required length from the drop-down list above.
• Please note that the RCDs are active units, which means that the reset button must be pressed each time the power is reconnected.
• 13A rubberised plug.
• Weatherproof IP66 rated exceptional quality 13A socket, for connection to the 13A plug on a 'granny' charger. An IP66 rating means that the socket is protected against powerful water jets.
• To guard against unauthorised access, the socket can be locked shut with a small padlock (max 5.5mm diameter) available here.
• 1.5mmsq industrial specification H07RN-F rubber cable, specifically manufactured for harsh environments with high mechanical, chemical, water and UV resistance. Flexibility and performance is retained over a wide temperature range (-25 to 55°C). Find out what’s so special about our cables.
• Always ensure that leads are fully uncoiled before use, as coiled leads can become warm when used at high currents.
• Please contact us for custom lengths.
• Due to the relatively high current used by EVs, we recommend checking the plug fuse clips remain tight annually, or if the plug ever feels warm stop using it immediately.
• PAT tested.
• N.B. this lead is not compatible with the Citroen Ami, which is supplied with a European CCEE 7/7 2 pin plug. 

Safety

It is the responsibility of the EV user to consider the manufacturers guidance, the safety of the supply and any other risks, before deciding whether to use an extension lead with an EV charger. Given varying advice from manufacturers and varying risks in a whole myriad of charging scenarios, we cannot make a blanket recommendation that an extension lead should be used. We simply supply high quality extension leads which are compatible with the 13A plug fitted to EV chargers. Compatibility with the charger itself is not inferred or implied. It is down to the user to determine the appropriateness of the application; if in any doubt, consult an electrician. EV Cables therefore cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused as a result of using an extension lead.
