Micro Microlino
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Microlino+−
The Micro Microlino has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 2.2kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.

Charging
the Micro Microlino.
The Microlino is a Swiss-designed electric quadricycle, sold in the UK from 2024 through specialist importer Krazy Horse. It is sold left-hand-drive only and is classified as a light quadricycle rather than a car. Its onboard AC charger is rated at just 2.2kW: a deliberate design choice for a vehicle intended for short urban journeys where a standard domestic socket is the primary charging source. Battery options range from 5.5kWh to 10.5kWh and 14kWh. There is no DC rapid-charge port.
The Microlino charges through a Type 2 inlet, so it is compatible with home wallboxes and public AC charge points via a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. However, the 2.2kW onboard charger means charging is slow by modern EV standards, and there is little practical reason to choose a higher-rated cable over a standard 7.4kW lead. The vehicle can also charge from a domestic 3-pin socket with an appropriate adapter, which suits its design intent as an urban runabout.
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 Microlino need?
The Microlino's 2.2kW onboard charger is the limit on any charging method. A 7.4kW wallbox and a 7.4kW cable deliver the same 2.2kW to the car as a 3-pin domestic socket with an adapter. There is genuinely no case for a premium cable on this vehicle: the charger, not the cable or supply, is the fixed ceiling. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable in a modest length is all that is required.
Given the compact size of the Microlino and its short-journey design intent, a 5m cable is more than sufficient for most home charging situations. The vehicle's charge time of around five hours for the largest battery means overnight charging from any AC supply covers a typical day's use without any difficulty.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 10.5kWh battery from empty costs well under £1 at an off-peak tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £3 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. At 2.2kW, a full charge from empty takes around five hours, which is easily managed overnight on any supply. The smaller 5.5kWh battery halves that time. Check current tariff rates as they change.

Micro Microlino FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Micro Microlino need?+−
The Micro Microlino 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 2.2kW.
Can the Micro Microlino charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Micro Microlino has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 2.2kW, 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 charging cable does the Microlino need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, or a domestic 3-pin to Type 2 cable depending on your supply. The Microlino has a Type 2 inlet and a 2.2kW onboard charger. Any cable rated at 7.4kW or above is more than adequate. There is no benefit in choosing a 22kW or three-phase cable for this vehicle.
How long does the Microlino take to charge?+−
At its 2.2kW charge rate, the 10.5kWh battery takes around five hours from empty. The 14kWh battery takes around six to seven hours, and the 5.5kWh version around two and a half hours. Overnight on any supply, whether a wallbox or a domestic 3-pin socket, is sufficient to start each day fully charged.
Does the Microlino support DC rapid charging?+−
No. The Microlino has no CCS or CHAdeMO port. All charging is through the Type 2 AC inlet at up to 2.2kW. This reflects its design as a short-range urban vehicle; it is not intended for rapid en-route charging on longer journeys.
Does the Microlino come with a charging cable?+−
That depends on the specification at purchase; check with your supplying dealer. Regardless, a Type 2 to Type 2 cable in 5m is all the car's hardware requires for home wallbox charging. A domestic 3-pin adapter is also practical given the slow 2.2kW charge rate.
