Nissan Ariya
Charging cable
The Ariya is single-phase 7.4kW as standard. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, you need the 22kW cable to use it.
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Ariya+−
The Nissan Ariya has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 7.4kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.
Which Nissan Ariya versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Nissan Ariya, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Nissan Ariya Advance
- Nissan Ariya Evolve
- Nissan Ariya Evolve+
- Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE Performance
Whichever Ariya trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Nissan Ariya.
The Nissan Ariya is a mid-size premium electric SUV, Nissan's most significant all-electric launch since the Leaf and on sale in the UK from 2022. It comes in two battery sizes: a 63kWh pack for buyers who want a lighter, more affordable option, and an 87kWh version for maximum range. Both variants have a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for rapid DC, which is the standard combination for UK electric cars from this era.
For home wallboxes and public AC chargers, you need to bring a Type 2 to Type 2 cable yourself. The Ariya's standard onboard AC charger is rated at 7.4kW on a single phase, with an optional 22kW three-phase unit available on some higher trims. DC rapid charging at up to 130kW uses the charger's own tethered cable, not one you carry.
Both Ariya batteries support up to 130kW DC rapid charging. The 63kWh version charges faster in absolute time at home; the 87kWh gives a useful range buffer for drivers who do longer runs. 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 Ariya need?
The standard Ariya charges at 7.4kW on a single-phase supply, which is what virtually every UK home provides. That rate is also the ceiling your wallbox can deliver on single-phase power, so a 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the correct and complete solution for most owners. Buying a higher-rated cable for home use on a single-phase supply buys nothing in charging speed.
The optional 22kW three-phase onboard charger is available on certain Ariya trims, but benefiting from it requires a three-phase power supply. Residential three-phase connections exist in the UK but are uncommon, mainly found in older rural properties or homes that have had a dedicated upgrade. If you have three-phase at home or you regularly stop at 22kW public AC chargers with a suitably equipped car, a 22kW cable becomes genuinely useful. Otherwise, 7.4kW is the right call.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 87kWh Ariya from empty costs around £6.50 on an off-peak tariff of roughly 7.5p per kWh, and around £23 to £24 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The 63kWh version costs roughly £5 off-peak and around £17 at standard rates. As with any larger-battery EV, the gap between a cheap overnight tariff and standard rates adds up significantly over a year, so an EV-specific tariff is worth arranging if possible. Public DC rapid charging at motorway hubs often costs 50p per kWh or more. Check current rates, as tariffs move.

Nissan Ariya FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Nissan Ariya need?+−
The Nissan Ariya 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 7.4kW.
Can the Nissan Ariya charge at 22kW?+−
Only with the optional three-phase onboard charger. The Nissan Ariya is single-phase 7.4kW as standard, so a 7.4kW cable delivers its full AC speed. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, choose the 22kW three-phase cable to use it.
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 Nissan Ariya need for charging?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Ariya uses a standard Type 2 AC inlet for home and public AC charging. Most owners find a 5m cable works well for a typical driveway setup; a 7m or 10m lead is worth considering if your wallbox is mounted further from your parking position.
Can the Nissan Ariya charge at 22kW at home?+−
Only if your car has the optional 22kW three-phase charger and your home has a three-phase electricity supply. Standard Ariya models charge at 7.4kW on single-phase. Three-phase home supplies are uncommon in the UK, so most owners charge at 7.4kW regardless of trim.
How long does the Nissan Ariya take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox the 63kWh pack takes around 8.5 to 9 hours from empty; the 87kWh takes roughly 12 hours. Both work well as overnight charges. A 3-pin socket is impractically slow for either battery at these capacities.
Does the Nissan Ariya use CCS for rapid charging?+−
Yes. The Ariya uses CCS for rapid DC charging at up to 130kW. Rapid chargers supply their own tethered cable, so the Type 2 lead you carry is solely for AC charging. There is no need to buy or carry a separate DC cable.
