Alfa Romeo Giulia
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Giulia+−
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.

Charging
the Alfa Romeo Giulia.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia returns as a fully electric saloon for 2026, built on Stellantis's STLA Large 800V platform. This first-generation BEV Giulia brings a 85kWh battery in its base form, with a longer-range 118kWh variant also expected in the UK. Both versions plug in via a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and use a CCS port for rapid DC sessions.
For home wallboxes and public AC charge points, you will need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, which you supply yourself. The Giulia's onboard AC charger runs at up to 11kW across three phases, and rapid DC charging reaches around 270kW on the 800V architecture using the charger's own tethered cable, not one you buy.
Select your battery above. The 85kWh version will reach a full charge noticeably faster than the 118kWh Long Range on any AC method. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Giulia need?
The Giulia's onboard AC charger peaks at 11kW and needs a three-phase supply to reach that speed. Most UK homes have a single-phase connection, which caps any wallbox at 7.4kW whatever cable is fitted, so a 7.4kW Type 2 cable gives you the maximum speed your driveway can provide and is the practical choice for the majority of owners.
A 22kW three-phase cable is worth considering only if your property has a three-phase electrical supply, which is uncommon in domestic settings, or if you regularly stop at 22kW public AC charge points. At those points the Giulia will draw its full 11kW. On a standard UK home supply the extra rating of a 22kW cable makes no difference to charging speed, so it offers future-proofing rather than any immediate gain.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 85kWh Giulia from empty costs roughly £6 to £7 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £23 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The 118kWh Long Range costs roughly £9 at off-peak rates and around £32 at standard rates. Overnight charging on a dedicated EV tariff keeps running costs low; public rapid DC sessions are far more expensive per kWh, so they are best used for longer journeys. Check current tariffs, as energy prices change.

Alfa Romeo Giulia FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Alfa Romeo Giulia need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Giulia uses a Type 2 inlet for AC and CCS for rapid DC charging, but the DC session uses the charger's own tethered cable. A 5m lead suits most driveways; choose 7m or 10m if your parking spot is further from the socket.
Can the Alfa Romeo Giulia charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Giulia's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases, so 22kW is beyond its capability regardless of cable. Even with an 11kW cable, you need a three-phase supply to reach that speed. On a typical single-phase UK home wallbox the car charges at 7.4kW.
How long does the Alfa Romeo Giulia take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox the 85kWh Giulia takes around 11 to 12 hours from empty, fitting comfortably into an overnight session. The 118kWh Long Range takes around 16 hours at the same rate. On a three-phase 11kW wallbox both models charge proportionally faster. DC rapid charging is far quicker but uses the charger's own cable.
Does the Alfa Romeo Giulia have DC rapid charging?+−
Yes. The Giulia uses an 800V architecture and can rapid charge at up to around 270kW on a compatible DC fast charger. That session uses the charger's own tethered CCS cable, not one you purchase separately. For everyday home and public AC charging, you bring your own Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
