Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Junior Elettrica+−
The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica 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.
Which Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Ti
- Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Core
- Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Veloce
- Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Sport Speciale
Whichever Junior Elettrica trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica.
The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica is the brand's debut all-electric model, a compact SUV that landed in UK showrooms in 2024. Built on the Stellantis e-CMP platform, it packs a 54kWh battery (roughly 51kWh usable) and is offered across Ti, Core, Veloce and Sport Speciale trims. The Veloce version gains extra power, making it the performance pick of the range. AC charging uses a Type 2 inlet; rapid DC uses CCS, with a peak of around 100kW.
When you pull into your driveway or a public AC point, the cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. At rapid DC chargers, the station provides its own tethered cable, so that is never something you need to source yourself. The Junior's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW, but only on a three-phase supply. That distinction matters for most UK owners.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. 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 Junior Elettrica need?
The Junior Elettrica's 11kW onboard charger requires a three-phase supply to reach its ceiling. Almost every UK home runs on single-phase power, where the maximum AC charging rate is 7.4kW no matter what cable you connect. For the great majority of owners, a 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right choice: it is less expensive and delivers everything your home supply can offer.
Stepping up to a 22kW three-phase cable earns its keep only in two situations: your property has a three-phase supply (uncommon in residential settings), or you regularly use 22kW public AC chargers where the Junior can draw its full 11kW. On a standard home wallbox, a 22kW cable charges at the same 7.4kW rate as the cheaper option, so you are buying flexibility for future use rather than any immediate speed gain.
What does it cost to charge?
A full charge from empty on the 54kWh battery costs roughly £4 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £15 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. Overnight charging on a time-of-use tariff makes the Junior Elettrica genuinely cheap to run day to day. Public rapid charging typically costs 45p to 80p per kWh, so it is best reserved for longer journeys. Check current tariff rates as these change regularly.

Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What 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 Junior Elettrica need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Junior Elettrica has a standard Type 2 inlet. For home charging on a single-phase supply, a 7.4kW cable is the practical choice and delivers the full speed your connection allows. A 22kW cable is only worth the extra cost if you have a three-phase supply or regularly use 22kW public AC chargers.
Can the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, but only when connected to a three-phase supply. The car's onboard charger is rated to 11kW across three phases. Because the vast majority of UK homes are single-phase, most owners will see a maximum of 7.4kW at home. On a three-phase supply or a 22kW public AC charge point, the full 11kW is available.
How long does the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 54kWh battery takes around seven to eight hours from empty to full, which fits neatly into an overnight charge. A standard 3-pin granny charger is far slower at around 16 to 18 hours and is best used only as a backup. Rapid DC at up to 100kW brings charge times down dramatically on longer trips.
What cable length should I choose for the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica?+−
A 5m cable covers most home and public charging situations. If your wallbox is positioned further from where the car parks, or there is a reasonable distance between the socket and the charging inlet, a 7m or 10m lead gives comfortable reach. Measure the actual gap on your driveway before buying to avoid a cable that falls just short.
