GONEO Type 2 7.2kW 5m EV charging cable

The GONEO Type 2 charging cable delivers practical 7.2kW charging for everyday electric and plug-in hybrid use, offering a reliable connection between car and charger in typical UK settings. It is a Mode 3, single phase cable with a 5 metre reach, suited to shorter driveways or home charging where a compact, robust lead is preferable.

Key features

This cable supports up to 7.2kW charging and is compatible with Type 2 and CCS2 sockets according to the product notes, so it covers most modern European EVs and PHEVs fitted with a seven pin inlet. Build quality focuses on safety and longevity, with ultrasonic welding to limit heat build up, silver plated connectors for improved conductivity, and materials chosen to resist wear and flex. The lead comes with a tough carry bag and Velcro strap for neat storage in the boot.

Why it’s worth it

You’ll notice a focus on durability and testing rather than flashy extras. The cable meets IEC 62196 and EN standards, has IP54 ingress protection and a UL94 V-0 flame rating according to the manufacturer. It has been tested for 10 000 mating cycles and a 2 tonne pull rating, which helps when you need a dependable everyday lead for frequent use. Do bear in mind this is not an extension cable and should only connect the vehicle to a charging station.

Best use cases

It makes sense if you want a compact 5 metre lead for home or work parking where the socket is reasonably close to the car. If you regularly need to reach across wider bays consider a longer option instead. The supplied bag keeps the cable tidy and protects connectors from dirt between uses.
