{"product_id":"cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable","title":"CUPRA Leon e-HYBRID EV Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe year on the V5 decides which cable to buy here. CUPRA replaced the Leon e-HYBRID's charging hardware in 2024, and the two cars are not close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 2024 the e-HYBRID pairs a 1.4 TSI with a 12.8 kWh battery, around 10.6 kWh of it usable, behind a 3.6 kW onboard charger. That is a 16A rate. A 16A Type 2 to Type 2 cable fills it in about 3 hours 33 minutes, and a 32A cable gives you the same 3 hours 33 minutes, because the car rather than the cable is the bottleneck. Buy the 16A and keep the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 facelift is a different proposition. The 1.5 TSI cars, 204PS and 272PS, carry 19.7 kWh usable behind an 11 kW charger, and they add CCS rapid charging at 50 kW, which is rare on a plug-in hybrid. Here the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right buy. It pulls the full 7.4 kW a UK home supply allows and reaches a full battery in roughly 3 hours. A 16A cable would need six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat 11 kW rating is a three phase number. You will only see it on a three phase charge point with the 32A three phase cable, which takes the facelift car down to about 2 hours 30 minutes. At home, on single phase, the standard 32A cable already does everything the car can accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Type 2 to 3 Pin cable is worth keeping in the boot either way. It trickles at 2.3 kW, so roughly 5 hours 15 minutes on the early car and 9 hours 45 on the facelift, which is fine overnight at a relative's house but not as your main method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Leon is a 1.5 TSI, a 1.5 eTSI or a 2.0 TSI it has no charging socket and needs no cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose 5m for a wallbox beside the car and 10m where the cable has to cross a drive. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55, Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, and both come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCUPRA Leon e-HYBRID Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLeon e-HYBRID 1.4 TSI, 245PS, 2020 to 2024\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755425975\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755393207\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5h 15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUseful backup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755294903\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755163831\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest buy, nothing charges it faster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755327671\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755196599\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo quicker, only useful for a future car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755360439\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 33m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo benefit on this car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLeon e-HYBRID 1.5 TSI facelift, 204PS and 272PS, 2024 onwards\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755425975\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755393207\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9h 45m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackup only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755294903\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755163831\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6h 00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorks, but half the speed the car allows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755327671\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755196599\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW at a UK home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h 00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest buy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/cupra-leon-e-hybrid-ev-charging-cable?variant=43363755360439\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 kW at a three phase post\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2h 30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnly for three phase supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCUPRA Leon e-HYBRID Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich charging cable does the CUPRA Leon e-HYBRID need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Type 2 to Type 2 cable in both cases, but the amperage differs. Cars built up to 2024 charge at 3.6 kW, so 16A is enough. The 2024 facelift has an 11 kW charger and 19.7 kWh to fill, so buy 32A. Neither car will ever exceed those rates, whatever you plug it into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 32A cable worth it on a pre 2024 Leon e-HYBRID?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. That car's onboard charger tops out at 3.6 kW, so a 32A cable returns the same 3 hours 33 minutes as the 16A one. The only reason to spend more is if you expect to replace the car with something that charges faster and want the cable to carry over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I tell the original e-HYBRID from the 2024 facelift?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine and battery. The original is a 1.4 TSI rated 245PS with a 12.8 kWh pack and no rapid charging at all. The facelift is a 1.5 TSI in 204PS or 272PS form with 19.7 kWh usable, an 11 kW charger and a CCS socket that accepts 50 kW rapid charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a full charge take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 3 hours 33 minutes on the pre 2024 car using a 16A cable. The 2024 facelift needs roughly 3 hours from a 7.4 kW home charge point with a 32A cable, falling to about 2 hours 30 minutes on a three phase post when you use the three phase cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes every CUPRA Leon plug in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the e-HYBRID has a charging socket. The 1.5 TSI, the 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid and the 2.0 TSI have no charge port and cannot use any of these cables. The eTSI recovers energy through its 48V system on the move and never needs plugging in at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length should I choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5m is enough when the charge point is a metre or two from the socket and you always park the same way round.
