Cupra Tavascan
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Tavascan+−
The Cupra Tavascan 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 Tavascan versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Cupra Tavascan, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Cupra Tavascan V1
- Cupra Tavascan V2
- Cupra Tavascan VZ1
- Cupra Tavascan VZ2
- Cupra Tavascan Origin
- Cupra Tavascan 250 kW 77 kWh VZ
Whichever Tavascan trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Cupra Tavascan.
The Cupra Tavascan is a fastback-styled electric SUV coupe built on Volkswagen's MEB platform, on sale in the UK since 2024. The range spans V1, V2, VZ1, VZ2 and Origin variants, all carrying a 77kWh battery. DC rapid charging reaches up to around 135kW via CCS, making longer trips practical. For day-to-day topping up, the Type 2 inlet handles home and public AC charging.
The cable you bring to a wallbox or public AC point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. At rapid DC chargers, the station's tethered cable does the job, so you never need to buy one for that purpose. The Tavascan's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases, and whether that speed is actually available depends on what your electricity supply can deliver.
The 77kWh Tavascan can rapid charge on CCS at up to around 135kW. AC home charging speed is set by your onboard charger and supply type, not the cable rating. 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 Tavascan need?
On a typical UK single-phase home supply, AC charging tops out at 7.4kW regardless of how the cable is rated. The Tavascan's onboard charger can accept 11kW, but three-phase power is needed to deliver it, and residential three-phase connections are uncommon in the UK. At 7.4kW, the 77kWh battery takes roughly ten and a half hours from empty, which covers overnight charging with ease. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right pick for the majority of owners.
A 22kW cable becomes relevant if you have three-phase power at home or you use 22kW public AC chargers regularly, where the Tavascan can draw its full 11kW. If neither applies to you, a 22kW cable and a 7.4kW cable are equally fast on your driveway. Choose the 22kW option for flexibility across a wider range of chargers, or save the money and stick with 7.4kW for home-focused use.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 77kWh battery costs roughly £6 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £21 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The Tavascan's larger battery means those overnight sessions cover a good deal of daily mileage. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh is considerably dearer, so most running costs stay low if you charge at home. Tariffs change, so verify current rates.

Cupra Tavascan FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Cupra Tavascan charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Cupra Tavascan has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What 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 Tavascan need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Tavascan's inlet is Type 2. For a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable is the practical choice and already matches your maximum home charging speed. A 22kW cable is worth considering only if you have a three-phase supply or regularly visit 22kW public AC chargers.
Does the Cupra Tavascan support 11kW AC charging?+−
Yes, the onboard AC charger is rated to 11kW on three phases. In practice, most UK homes are single-phase and can only supply up to 7.4kW to the car, regardless of the cable. On a three-phase supply or a 22kW public AC charger, the Tavascan reaches its full 11kW.
How long does the Cupra Tavascan take to charge at home?+−
At 7.4kW on a typical single-phase home wallbox, the 77kWh battery takes around ten to eleven hours from empty. That is a straightforward overnight charge. On a three-phase supply at 11kW, the same charge takes roughly seven hours. A 3-pin granny lead is far slower and is really a backup option only.
What length cable should I get for the Cupra Tavascan?+−
A 5m cable handles most driveways and standard public charging bays without excess slack. If your wallbox is set further back from where you park, or the layout of your property adds distance between charger and car, a 7m or 10m lead is the safer choice. Measure the real-world run before ordering.
