Cupra Raval
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Raval+−
The Cupra Raval has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.
Which Cupra Raval versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Cupra Raval, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Cupra Raval V1
- Cupra Raval V2
- Cupra Raval VZ
- Cupra Raval VZ Extreme
- Cupra Raval 85 kW 37 kWh
- Cupra Raval 99 kW 37 kWh
Whichever Raval trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Cupra Raval.
The Cupra Raval is Cupra's first dedicated electric hatchback, opening for UK orders in 2026. It is built on the same Smart Car platform as the VW Polo-sized MEB Entry architecture and sits below the Cupra Born in the lineup. Two battery sizes are offered: entry V1 and V2 trims use a 37kWh pack, while the VZ and VZ Extreme trims step up to a 52kWh battery capable of around 105kW on DC. All versions use a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for DC rapid charging.
For home wallboxes and public AC chargers, the cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The Raval's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases. Rapid DC top-ups, which use the station's tethered cable, are separate and do not need a cable you carry.
Select your trim's battery above. The 37kWh pack charges more quickly in absolute time; the 52kWh VZ trades a longer charge for noticeably more range. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Raval need?
At home the Raval's 11kW onboard charger is limited by the supply, not by the cable. Nearly all UK homes run on a single-phase circuit, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the sensible starting point: it delivers the maximum your home wallbox can offer and costs less than a three-phase alternative. Given the Raval's compact batteries, a home charge overnight is straightforward either way.
Upgrading to a 22kW three-phase cable makes practical sense only if you have a three-phase supply at home, which is uncommon in UK residential properties, or you regularly use 22kW public AC chargers. At those points the Raval can draw its full 11kW. On a standard single-phase home setup, a 22kW cable charges at exactly the same 7.4kW as the cheaper option. A 5m lead is long enough for most driveways; opt for 7m if your wallbox is set back from where the front of the car parks.
What does it cost to charge?
A full charge of the 52kWh battery costs roughly £4 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £14 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The 37kWh pack works out at roughly £3 and £10 on the same rates. Home charging on a time-of-use tariff overnight is the most economical approach by a considerable margin over public charging, which typically runs between 45p and 80p per kWh. Check current rates, as tariffs change.

Cupra Raval FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Cupra Raval need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging. The Raval uses a standard Type 2 inlet. A 5m lead covers most home setups. If your supply is single-phase, which is standard for UK homes, a 7.4kW cable delivers the maximum available speed. A 22kW cable only helps if you have a three-phase supply at home or regularly charge at 22kW public AC points.
Can the Cupra Raval charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Raval's onboard AC charger tops out at 11kW on three phases, so a 22kW charger or cable cannot push more than 11kW into the car. On a standard single-phase UK home connection the limit drops further to 7.4kW. To reach 11kW you need a three-phase supply or a 22kW public AC charger.
How long does the Cupra Raval take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox, the 52kWh battery takes around seven hours from empty, and the 37kWh pack takes roughly five hours. Both are well within an overnight charge window. A three-pin household socket is much slower, adding several hours, and is better suited as a backup than a regular charging method.
Does the Cupra Raval use CCS for rapid charging?+−
Yes. Rapid DC charging uses the CCS port, and the charger provides its own tethered cable, so you do not need to buy a DC lead. The 52kWh VZ and VZ Extreme can accept up to around 105kW on DC, while the 37kWh entry trims are rated lower. The Type 2 cable you buy is only for AC charging at home and public AC units.
