Can anyone tell me what charging cables come as standard for a Hyundai Ioniq 5, Škoda Enyaq or Cupra Tavascan.

Ioniq 5 Type 2 5m cable (I havent even looked to see if there’s a granny in there but I doubt it)

Enyaq I believe is the same, just a type 2

m Ioniq  came with 5m  type 2 cable..i think, its still in the bag and never used. A granny charger cable and a V2L socket.

Enyaq comes with 5m type 2, also got one with the Ohme charger.

Is the cable heavy to pull ? Are they thicker than a garden hose pipe ?

They are thicker and heavier than a garden hose, they can stick on the charger side a little, making it slightly difficult to pull out. Next time you pass a public rapid charger, lift up the plug and see what you think.

The 7kW Type 2 5m cables are heavier than a hose but aren’t worse to tidy up than a standard garden hose, except you shouldn’t get wet.

Public cables are a different beast altogether.  The higher the charge rate, the heavier the cooling needs to be, which leads to quite a bulky and heavy cable.  Not impossible to pull around and some companies have a cable arm which bears a lot of the weight.  As suggested, next time you’re in the same place as  one, pick up the connector, see how easy it is to move around.

My ’25 Ioniq 5 came with the 5m Type 2 and a granny charger. I took the granny out and only keep the type 2 in the car. No V2L adaptor, they dropped that as a standard item and ask silly prices for it. There are plenty of Hyundai/Kia ones on ebay if you fancy one.

Done over 50,000 miles in EV’s over 4 years now, not used the granny or the type 2 cable yet (I have a tethered charger at home).

In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
