{"product_id":"ford-focus-ev-charging-cable","title":"Ford Focus EV Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Focus Electric is one of the few Type 1 cars where the 32A cable genuinely pays for itself. Its onboard charger accepts 6.6 kW, well above the 3.7 kW a 16A cable can supply, so a \u003cstrong\u003e32A Type 1 to Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e lead is the one to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the connector, because it catches people out. The Focus Electric uses a Type 1 inlet, not the Type 2 fitted to nearly everything sold since. A Type 2 to Type 2 cable will not go in. You need Type 2 at the wall box and Type 1 at the car, which is exactly what a Type 1 to Type 2 cable is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFord put the car on the UK price list in September 2013 at £33,580 before the plug-in car grant, and sold it here until 2015. It was aimed at fleets and barely anyone bought one: about 24 were registered in Britain, all to Ford itself, and fewer than ten are believed to survive. That five door car has 19.6 kWh usable from a 23 kWh gross pack. With 6.6 kW going in, a flat battery is full again in about three and a quarter hours. A 16A cable nearly doubles that to six hours, which is the whole case for spending a little more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFord later built a facelifted Focus Electric with a 33.5 kWh battery for 2017 and 2018, still on Type 1 and still charging at 6.6 kW. We have not been able to confirm that this version reached UK buyers, so treat it as a possibility rather than something you will find at a British dealer. If you do run one, the same 32A cable applies and the larger pack takes closer to five and three quarter hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType 1 is a five pin single phase connector, so no three phase Type 1 cable exists and 7.4 kW is the format's hard ceiling. British homes are single phase anyway. Your actual speed is set by whichever is lowest of the car, the supply and the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo other Focus plugs in. The EcoBoost Hybrid of 2020 to 2025 is a 48V mild hybrid with no charging port, and every petrol EcoBoost and diesel EcoBlue since 1998 is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType 1 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, Type 1 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, both come in 5m and 10m lengths, and every order includes a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFord Focus Electric Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFocus Electric five door, 2013 to 2015, 19.6 kWh usable\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\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 1 to 3 Pin, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335079095\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335046327\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9h30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency use only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1 to Type 2 16A, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335177399\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335111863\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6h00m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHolds the car back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1 to Type 2 32A, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335210167\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335144631\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3h15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFocus Electric facelift, 2017 to 2018, 33.5 kWh\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\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 1 to 3 Pin, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335079095\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335046327\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16h30m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToo slow to rely on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1 to Type 2 16A, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335177399\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335111863\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10h15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA full night\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1 to Type 2 32A, \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335210167\"\u003e5m\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable?variant=43529335144631\"\u003e10m\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW, the car's limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5h45m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have not been able to confirm that the 33.5 kWh facelift was sold to UK buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFord Focus Electric Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable does a Ford Focus Electric need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 32A Type 1 to Type 2 cable. The car has a Type 1 inlet and takes 6.6 kW, so 32A lets it charge at full speed and fills the 19.6 kWh usable battery in around three and a quarter hours. The Type 2 end plugs into your home charge point or a public post.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a 32A cable worth it on a Focus Electric?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and this is unusual for a Type 1 car. Most take 3.7 kW or less, but the Focus Electric accepts 6.6 kW. A 16A cable caps it at 3.7 kW and turns a three and a quarter hour charge into six hours. The extra outlay buys back most of an evening every time you plug in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a Focus Electric take to charge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2013 to 2015 car needs about 3h15m from empty on a 32A cable, drawing 6.6 kW into 19.6 kWh usable. A 16A cable makes that roughly six hours, and a three pin lead at 2.3 kW takes about nine and a half. The later 33.5 kWh car takes around 5h45m on 32A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill a Type 2 cable fit a Ford Focus Electric?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The car's socket is Type 1, so a Type 2 to Type 2 cable cannot be plugged into it whatever adapter you are tempted by. Order the Type 1 to Type 2 cable, which carries a Type 2 plug for the charge point and a Type 1 plug for the car itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo any other Ford Focus models plug in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the Focus Electric has a charging socket. The EcoBoost Hybrid sold from 2020 to 2025 is a 48V mild hybrid that recovers energy under braking and never needs plugging in, and every petrol EcoBoost and diesel EcoBlue Focus built since 1998 has no charging port at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShould I buy a 5m or 10m Focus Electric cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive metres works if your wall box sits within a couple of paces of where the car rests. Given how few Focus Electrics remain, many owners rely on public posts rather than a home unit, and 10m gives you room when the bay layout is not in your favour. Charge speed is identical either way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 1 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207730585947,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T1-10M-FORD-FOCUS","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Type 1 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207730618715,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T1-5M-FORD-FOCUS","price":215.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207730651483,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-10M-16AMP-FORD-FOCUS","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207730684251,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-10M-32AMP-FORD-FOCUS","price":172.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207730717019,"sku":"EVPOW-FORD-FOCUS","price":130.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207730749787,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-5M-32AMP-FORD-FOCUS","price":140.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/3888\/1627\/files\/dd28912905a94fce11751f54168695df.jpg?v=1780280860","url":"https:\/\/trandnova.com\/en-gb\/products\/ford-focus-ev-charging-cable","provider":"Trand Nova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
