Keep your Volkswagen electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle powered and ready for the road with the genuine Volkswagen 230V 1AC 6-meter charging cable. Designed specifically for compatibility with Volkswagen’s electrified range, this Mode 2 charging cable allows you to charge your vehicle conveniently from a standard domestic UK 3-pin socket, making it the perfect solution for home charging or emergency top-ups while on the move.

Product Overview

This genuine Volkswagen charging cable is an essential accessory for owners of electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models. As a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) product, it is engineered to meet the exact safety and performance standards required by Volkswagen, ensuring seamless communication between your home power supply and your vehicle’s battery management system.

With a generous length of 6 meters, this cable offers flexibility for parking configurations, allowing you to reach your charging point with ease. Whether you are charging overnight to take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs or topping up your battery during a weekend getaway, this cable delivers reliable, efficient, and safe energy transfer.

Compatibility & Fitment

This charging cable is designed for a variety of Volkswagen hybrid and electric models. Proper fitment is critical to ensure vehicle safety and optimal charging speeds.

Compatible Volkswagen Models (Hybrid & EV):

• Volkswagen Golf: GTE, Mk7, Mk8 (Hybrid variants)

• Volkswagen Passat: GTE (Saloon & Variant)

• Volkswagen Tiguan: eHybrid models

• Volkswagen Arteon: eHybrid (Saloon & Shooting Brake)

• Volkswagen Touareg: eHybrid

• Volkswagen ID. Family: Compatible for trickle charging via domestic mains (where standard equipment includes the necessary interface).

Note: Please verify your specific model year and charging socket type. We highly recommend matching this against your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to ensure 100% compatibility.

How It Works

The cable functions as a Mode 2 charging device. It features a standard UK 3-pin plug (Type G) on the infrastructure side and a Type 2 vehicle connector on the charging side.

When plugged into a compliant, professionally installed 230V domestic socket, the cable’s integrated control box communicates with your car to regulate the current, preventing overheating and ensuring the battery is charged safely. It is an ideal “keep-in-the-boot” solution for drivers who rely on home charging or need a reliable backup when dedicated wallboxes are unavailable.

Performance Benefits

• Safety First: Unlike aftermarket cables that may lack proper thermal protection, this genuine VW part includes integrated sensors to detect faults in the domestic power supply.

• Vehicle Integrity: Engineered to protect your vehicle’s charging port and high-voltage battery system.

• Convenience: The 6-meter length provides the reach needed for various driveway setups.

• Efficiency: Designed for the specific electrical architecture of your Volkswagen, ensuring minimal energy loss during the charging process.

Build Quality & Engineering

Volkswagen Genuine Accessories are subjected to rigorous testing. This cable is constructed from high-durability, weather-resistant materials capable of withstanding the rigors of the UK climate. The connectors are reinforced for high cycle counts, and the cable housing is designed to be flexible yet resistant to kinking, abrasion, and moisture.

Installation & Maintenance

This is a “Plug and Play” accessory. No professional installation is required to use the cable; however, ensure your domestic UK 3-pin socket is in good condition and installed by a qualified electrician to handle sustained electrical loads.

• Maintenance: Keep the connectors clean and free of debris. Always store the cable in the provided protective storage bag when not in use to prevent terminal contamination.
