QIAO Type 2 EV charging cable 22kW 7.5m
Product description
Electric vehicle charging on the go needs a cable you can trust, not one you have to baby. This QIAO Type 2 EV charging cable is built for fast AC charging using a Type 2 connector, and the 7.5 m length gives you practical reach when parking at home or at public bays. With a maximum output of 22 kW at 32 A, it helps you plan charging around your day rather than waiting around.
The essentials
If you want a Type 2 to Type 2 charging lead that supports high power AC charging, this cable is made to deliver. According to the manufacturer, it supports a maximum output of 22 kW at 32 A, and it can also work at 3.6 kW at 16 A, giving you flexibility depending on your charge point. It is designed for both home set ups and public AC charging stations, so the same cable can cover more of your everyday charging needs. ⚡
There is also a practical side to the build, because you are not just moving power, you are moving equipment. The cable is made with durable TPU material and includes a carry bag plus straps to help keep it tidy in your car. When you plug in regularly, that kind of organisation reduces the hassle of dealing with tangled leads. 😊
Key features
This is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable that follows the IEC 62196 EV charging standard, which is important for compatibility and safe connection. The cable is described as fully CE, ROHS, and UKCA certified, and it uses a flame retardant material to support heat resistance during long charging sessions. It is also rated using IP55 sealing technology, which the manufacturer states is intended to support charging in a range of weather conditions. 🛡️
What you can charge
The manufacturer highlights broad compatibility with electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that have the right inlet type. It is suitable for vehicles featuring a Type 2 (Mennekes) inlet with 7 pins, and it also supports compatibility for certain CCS 2 inlets with 7 pins plus 2 pins, provided they comply with IEC 62196-2. In real terms, that means fewer worries about whether the connector matches your car’s charge port.
Charging flexibility
Not every charge point can deliver the highest available power, so the ability to operate at different current levels matters. This cable supports 32 A and also supports 16 A charging points, according to the product information. That lets you use it at different locations without needing a separate lead for lower power situations.
Build and everyday handling
The cable uses high-grade copper wires and a thickened insulation jacket for protection against wear and tear. It is described as having excellent abrasion resistance and impact strength, which is useful if the cable gets moved between home, work, and occasional trips. It also comes with two velcro straps and a double sided microfiber towel, which helps you keep the connector area clean and the cable easier to store.

What matters most for fit
It’s a good fit if your EV or plug-in hybrid uses a Type 2 charge inlet and you want a single cable for both home and public AC charging. It makes sense if you have a 32 A capable charge point and you also want the option to use it at 16 A locations when power is limited. It may not suit you if your vehicle’s inlet type does not match a Type 2 connection arrangement described above, or if you need a different charging standard altogether. As a practical note, it is worth checking the inlet on your vehicle and the output capability of the charge point before buying, so you get the charging level you expect. You’ll also likely appreciate the carry bag and straps if you keep your charging lead in the boot or garage rather than leaving it permanently installed.
