Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Tonale PHEV+−
The Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 7.4kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.

Charging
the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is a compact SUV plug-in hybrid on sale in the UK since 2022. It pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a 15.5kWh battery pack, giving a modest electric-only range for urban commuting before the petrol side takes over. Charging uses a Type 2 inlet, so you will need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charge points.
There is no DC rapid charging on the Tonale PHEV: it charges exclusively on AC at up to 7.4kW on a single phase. Because the battery is relatively compact, even a wallbox session is quick, and a standard three-pin socket can serve as a backup. The petrol engine is not affected by how the battery is charged.
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 Tonale PHEV need?
The Tonale PHEV's onboard charger is rated at 7.4kW on a single phase, which already matches what a standard UK home wallbox can supply. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is therefore the right choice: it fills the battery as fast as the car allows, and there is no benefit to spending more on a higher-rated cable.
Three-phase or 22kW cables are unnecessary here. The Tonale PHEV cannot charge faster than 7.4kW on AC, so any cable rated above that adds cost without adding speed. A 5m cable handles most home and work charging situations; consider a 7m or 10m lead if the charge point is some distance from where you park.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 15.5kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1 to £1.50 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £4 at a standard rate of 27p per kWh. Given those low figures, regular overnight charging pays for itself quickly in fuel saved on short journeys. Check current tariff rates, as energy prices change regularly.

Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV 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 Tonale PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Tonale PHEV charges at up to 7.4kW on a single phase, so a 7.4kW cable is all you need. It has no DC rapid charging capability, so there is no CCS port on this model.
Can the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Tonale PHEV's onboard charger is limited to 7.4kW on a single phase, and there is no DC rapid charging. A 22kW cable would deliver no benefit; the car will simply draw its maximum 7.4kW and no more.
How long does the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV take to charge?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox, the 15.5kWh battery charges from empty in roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. On a standard 3-pin domestic socket at around 2.3kW, expect closer to 6 to 7 hours. Either way the small battery tops up quickly by EV standards.
What length cable do I need for the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV?+−
A 5m cable works for most driveways and car parks. If your wallbox is mounted some distance from your usual parking position, a 7m or 10m lead gives you more flexibility without the hassle of a tight pull.
