Mazda MX-30
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your MX-30+−
The Mazda MX-30 has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 6.6kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.
Which Mazda MX-30 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Mazda MX-30, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Mazda MX-30 Makoto
- Mazda MX-30 SE L Lux
- Mazda MX-30 Edition R
- Mazda MX-30 Sport Lux
- Mazda MX-30 Prime Line
- Mazda MX-30 First Edition
Whichever MX-30 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Mazda MX-30.
The Mazda MX-30 is a compact electric SUV produced from 2020, notable for its freestyle rear doors, sustainable cork-trimmed interior, and a deliberately small 35.5kWh battery that Mazda sized for urban and suburban use rather than long-distance driving. That modest battery is the car's defining trade-off: range is limited by modern BEV standards, but charging is quick and inexpensive. It has a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for DC rapid charging.
For home and public AC charging you need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The MX-30's onboard AC charger is rated at 6.6kW on a single phase, which is slightly below the 7.4kW maximum most home wallboxes deliver. DC rapid charging at up to 50kW uses the station's own tethered CCS cable, so no DC lead is needed.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. 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 MX-30 need?
The MX-30 charges on a single phase at up to 6.6kW, which a standard 7.4kW Type 2 cable handles comfortably. There is no three-phase charging capability on this car, and no reason to choose a 22kW cable. The 7.4kW cable will deliver the car's maximum AC rate from any home wallbox or public AC charge post rated at 7kW or above.
A 5m cable is the practical default for home driveways and public charge points. The MX-30's compact dimensions mean it parks easily, and 5m is usually sufficient to reach the charge socket without stretching. If you frequently park in spots where the cable needs to loop around the vehicle, or the wallbox is set back from the kerb, a 7m lead gives useful extra reach.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 35.5kWh battery from empty costs under £3 at an off-peak rate of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £10 at a standard rate of roughly 27p. The small battery makes the MX-30 one of the cheapest EVs to keep topped up, and a full charge on a home wallbox takes only a few hours. Public rapid charging is fast given the battery size, typically adding most of the range in under 40 minutes. Check current tariffs, as rates change.

Mazda MX-30 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Mazda MX-30 need?+−
The Mazda MX-30 has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 6.6kW.
Can the Mazda MX-30 charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Mazda MX-30 has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 6.6kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
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 cable does the Mazda MX-30 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for all AC charging. The MX-30 charges at up to 6.6kW on a single phase, so a standard 7.4kW Type 2 cable delivers the car's full AC rate. A 22kW three-phase cable offers no benefit as the car does not support three-phase charging.
Can the Mazda MX-30 rapid charge on DC?+−
Yes, at up to 50kW via CCS. Public rapid chargers provide their own tethered CCS cable, so you do not need to buy one. The 35.5kWh battery is small enough that a 50kW rapid charger fills it substantially in around 35 to 40 minutes, which is genuinely quick for a stop en route.
How long does the Mazda MX-30 take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox, the 35.5kWh battery takes around 5.5 hours from empty. A 3-pin granny charger (around 2.3kW) extends that to roughly 15 hours, which is still manageable overnight. Given the modest battery, most owners find a partial top-up from a wallbox is all they need between journeys.
Is the Mazda MX-30 suitable for long-distance driving?+−
The MX-30's 35.5kWh battery gives a WLTP range of around 130 to 140 miles, which is well suited to urban and suburban use but requires planning on longer trips. The 50kW CCS rapid charging capability means stops at motorway services are feasible, though the car is best suited to drivers whose daily distance fits well within a single charge.
