Charge speeds
Across the Cupra range.
Every Cupra here uses a Type 2 inlet, so one Type 2 to Type 2 cable fits the range. On-board AC charging ranges from about 3.6kW to 11kW depending on the model. A cable never charges faster than your car's on-board charger or your home supply allows, so on a standard single-phase UK home a 7.4 kW cable gives the full speed available.
Speeds are on-board AC limits. Rapid DC uses the station's own cable.
| Model | Connector | Battery | Max AC | Cable to buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Born | Type 2 | 77 kWh | 11 kW | Type 2 · 7.4 kW (22 kW on 3-phase) |
| Formentor eHybrid | Type 2 | 10.4 kWh | 3.6 kW | Type 2 · 7.4 kW |
| Leon eHybrid | Type 2 | 10.4 kWh | 3.6 kW | Type 2 · 7.4 kW |
| Raval | Type 2 | 52 kWh | 11 kW | Type 2 · 7.4 kW (22 kW on 3-phase) |
| Tavascan | Type 2 | 77 kWh | 11 kW | Type 2 · 7.4 kW (22 kW on 3-phase) |

Charging guide
Charging
your Cupra.
Cupra's electrified range runs from the Born and Raval full electrics through to the Tavascan BEV and a set of eHybrid plug-in hybrids: the Formentor eHybrid, Leon eHybrid and Terramar eHybrid. Every Cupra uses a Type 2 inlet, so they all take a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging.
What changes between models is how fast each one charges on AC, which is what decides whether a 7.4kW cable or a larger one is worth buying. Pick your model below for its exact charging times and recommended cable, or read the brand-wide guidance underneath.
What charging cable does a Cupra need?
Every Cupra EV and plug-in hybrid charges through a Type 2 inlet, so the lead you need is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. A 5m length suits most driveways and wallboxes; 7m or 10m is worth it for on-street parking or a wallbox that sits well away from the car.
The full electric Cupras, including the Born, Raval and Tavascan, have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. The Terramar eHybrid also has an 11kW three-phase charger. Almost all UK homes are single-phase, which caps home charging at 7.4kW regardless of the cable, so for most owners a 7.4kW cable delivers the full speed available at home. A 22kW rated cable only earns its cost if you have a three-phase supply or regularly use 22kW public AC charge points.
The Formentor eHybrid and Leon eHybrid both charge at 3.6kW on AC via a single-phase onboard charger. For these models a 7.4kW cable is already more than the car can draw, so there is no reason to buy a bigger one. Their small batteries will also charge fully from a 3-pin granny charger if you prefer to keep the Type 2 cable for public charge points. In short, a single 5m 7.4kW Type 2 cable suits the entire Cupra range.
Cupra FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your Cupra.
Contact usDo all Cupras use a Type 2 charging cable?+−
Yes. Every Cupra model, from the Born and Tavascan full electrics to the Formentor and Leon eHybrids, uses a Type 2 inlet. They all take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging, and no Cupra needs a Type 1 cable.
What charging cable does a Cupra Born or Tavascan need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, 5m for most driveways. Both have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, but on a standard single-phase UK home they charge at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable gives you the full speed available at home. Only choose a 22kW cable if you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC points regularly.
What cable does a Cupra Formentor or Leon eHybrid need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Both eHybrid models charge at 3.6kW on AC, so a standard 7.4kW cable is more than enough. Their compact batteries also charge fully overnight from a 3-pin granny charger if you want to keep the Type 2 lead for public points.
Can a Cupra charge at 22kW?+−
No Cupra reaches 22kW on AC. The Born, Raval, Tavascan and Terramar eHybrid top out at 11kW on three phases, and the Formentor and Leon eHybrids are lower. On a normal single-phase UK home every Cupra charges at 7.4kW or less, so a 22kW cable only benefits those with a three-phase supply or regular access to 22kW public AC points.
What length cable do I need for my Cupra?+−
5m suits most home wallboxes and public charge points. Step up to 7m or 10m if you park on the street, share a charger, or your wallbox sits far from the car's charging port. Buy the shortest length that reaches comfortably, as longer cables cost more and are heavier to coil.
