Choose a charging cable that reaches from the power connection or Wallbox to the vehicle’s charging port along the route the cable will actually follow. Check the parking direction and charging-port position before selecting a length. Do not measure only the straight-line distance.
Measure the required cable route
- Mark the power connection or Wallbox position.
- Park the vehicle as you normally would.
- Locate the vehicle’s charging port.
- Measure the actual route.
- Compare the measurement with the available options.
Choose for your normal parking situation
| Your situation | What to measure |
|---|---|
| The charging port is close to the Wallbox | Measure the direct usable route from the Wallbox to the charging port. |
| The charging port is on the opposite side | Include the route around the front or rear of the vehicle. |
| You park in different directions | Measure both parking directions and use the longer result. |
| More than one vehicle will use the charger | Measure the route to the charging port that is hardest to reach. |
Check the available product lengths
Fixed Wallbox examples
The current product pages for the dé 11 kW Wallbox and dé 22 kW Wallbox show Type 2 cable options of 5 m, 7.5 m, 10 m, 12.5 m and 15 m.
The CEE cable and control unit are 1.3 m long. The total length is 1.3 m plus the selected Type 2 cable length.
These figures refer to the Type 2 cable. For the Wallbox versions described above, add the 1.3 m CEE cable and control-unit section when considering the complete product length.
Portable charger example
The current dé 3.7 kW Type 2 portable charger is offered with a stated total length of 6 m or 10 m. For this portable product, the total includes the input cable, control box and charging cable.
The stated total length includes the input cable, control box and vehicle charging cable.
Important: Do not assume that every dé charger has the same cable-length options or uses the same measurement method. Check the exact product version before ordering.
Before placing your order
- Confirm the normal parking direction.
- Confirm the location of the vehicle’s charging port.
- Measure the cable’s actual route rather than the straight-line distance.
- Check whether the listed length refers to the Type 2 cable or the complete charger assembly.
- Confirm that your selected length is available on the relevant product page.
For specifications that apply to a particular model, refer to the Portable AC Charger user manuals or the 7/11/22 kW Wallbox user manuals.
