Skoda Epiq
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Epiq+−
The Skoda Epiq 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 Skoda Epiq versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Skoda Epiq, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Skoda Epiq 35
- Skoda Epiq 40
- Skoda Epiq 55
Whichever Epiq trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

How long does it take?
Charging
the Skoda Epiq.
The Skoda Epiq is a compact electric SUV launching in 2026 as Skoda's entry point into the small-SUV segment. Built on the MEB Entry platform, it is offered in 35, 40, and 55 trim levels, with a 63kWh battery and DC charging of up to 125kW. As with all MEB-based cars, it charges via a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS socket for rapid DC. Note that specs are provisional ahead of full UK launch.
Charging at home or at a public AC post requires a Type 2 to Type 2 cable that you provide. The Epiq's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases. DC rapid charging at up to 125kW is handled by the charger's tethered cable at the post, so there is nothing extra to carry for motorway stops.
Specs are provisional pre-launch. The 63kWh battery and 11kW AC charger are expected to be consistent across all Epiq trim levels. 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 Epiq need?
The Epiq's 11kW three-phase AC charger runs at a rate that the typical UK single-phase domestic supply cannot match. A standard home wallbox is capped at 7.4kW, so on most driveways a 7.4kW Type 2 lead is all you need and the sensible cable to buy. The car will charge at whatever the supply allows, and for most Epiq owners that will be 7.4kW at home.
Three-phase power at home is the exception rather than the rule in the UK. If your property does have a three-phase supply, a 22kW or 11kW three-phase cable will let the Epiq draw its full 11kW, reducing the time to fill the 63kWh pack from around 9 hours to around 6 hours. At 22kW public AC chargers the same applies. On a single-phase home wallbox, neither a three-phase cable nor the 11kW charger offers any speed benefit over a standard 7.4kW lead.
What does it cost to charge?
Based on the expected 63kWh battery, a full charge from empty should cost roughly £4.70 on an off-peak tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £17 at the standard 27p rate. Those are competitive numbers for a compact SUV, and the MEB platform has a strong track record of real-world efficiency. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh is worth keeping for journeys rather than routine use. Verify these figures once UK specs are confirmed.

Skoda Epiq FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Skoda Epiq need?+−
The Skoda Epiq has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC 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 cable will the Skoda Epiq need for home charging?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Epiq uses a standard Type 2 AC inlet, matching UK home wallboxes and public AC posts. On a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable is the correct choice and gives the full speed available. A three-phase cable is only beneficial if your home or workplace has three-phase power or you frequently use 22kW public AC chargers.
Can the Skoda Epiq charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Epiq's onboard AC charger is limited to 11kW on three phases. A 22kW-rated cable does not increase that limit. On a typical UK single-phase home supply the car charges at 7.4kW, governed by the supply rather than the cable or charger. The 11kW rate is only available on a three-phase supply.
How long will the Skoda Epiq take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the expected 63kWh battery should take around 9 hours from empty to full, fitting neatly within an overnight charge. On a three-phase 11kW charger, if available, that drops to around 6 hours. A domestic three-pin socket at 2.3kW would take around 27 hours and is not practical for regular use. Confirm exact times once final UK specs are published.
Is the Skoda Epiq available to order yet?+−
The Epiq is expected to launch in the UK in 2026. The charging specifications listed here are based on pre-launch information: 63kWh battery, 11kW three-phase AC, and up to 125kW DC via CCS. These details may be refined before the car goes on general sale, so check with Skoda UK for the latest confirmed figures.
