Cleveland Cable is the UK’s largest supplier of EV charging power and data cables, offering high-performance solutions for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles (EVs). Our ConnectEV range supports installations at homes, workplaces, and public charging stations.
With the UK government’s 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars, demand for reliable EV charging infrastructure is at an all-time high. We provide high-quality, British and IEC standard-certified cables to meet these evolving needs.
Understanding EV Charging Infrastructure
EV charging is classified into four levels based on speed and power delivery:
- Level 1 – Standard domestic mains chargers ("granny chargers")
- Level 2 – AC wall chargers, professionally installed for homes & businesses
- Level 3 – DC public fast chargers, used at forecourts & charging hubs
- Level 4 – MW-range industrial chargers, for HGVs & commercial fleets
Power & Data Cable Standards for EV Charging
Modern EV charging cables must be durable, flexible, and efficient. Charging connectors follow European Type 2 standards for seamless compatibility. Additionally, data cables enable smart connectivity between EVs, chargers, and IoT software.
