Citroen e-Berlingo Van
Charging cable
The e-Berlingo Van is single-phase 7.4kW as standard. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, you need the 22kW cable to use it.
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your e-Berlingo Van+−
The Citroen e-Berlingo Van 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 Citroen e-Berlingo Van.
The Citroen e-Berlingo Van is the commercial panel van version of the e-Berlingo, built for tradespeople and small business operators who want zero-emission urban delivery capability. It shares the 50kWh battery and Type 2 inlet of its passenger-carrying sibling and has been available in the UK since 2021. Like all current Citroen EVs, it uses a Type 2 connector for AC charging and a CCS port for DC rapid work.
Vans like the e-Berlingo are typically charged at home overnight or at a depot during off-peak hours. The cable you provide is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The standard onboard AC charger runs at 7.4kW single-phase, with an 11kW three-phase option on some specifications. DC rapid charging at up to 100kW relies on the charger's own tethered CCS cable rather than anything you carry yourself.
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 e-Berlingo Van need?
Most e-Berlingo Van operators will use a 7.4kW wallbox, either at home or at a business premises on a single-phase supply. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 5m delivers the full speed the standard onboard charger allows and is the right cable for those conditions. A 7m or 10m cable is worth considering for depot setups where the van may be parked away from the charge point.
If the van is fitted with the optional 11kW three-phase onboard charger and your site has a three-phase supply, a 22kW rated cable allows it to draw the full 11kW at compatible public or site chargers. On a single-phase supply the speed stays at 7.4kW regardless of cable rating, so only invest in the higher-rated cable if your charging setup genuinely supports it.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 50kWh battery from empty costs around £3.75 on an off-peak business or EV tariff of roughly 7.5p per kWh, or around £13.50 at a standard rate of about 27p per kWh. Operators charging overnight at a depot or at home on an off-peak tariff will see the lowest running costs. Check current rates as tariffs vary by supplier and contract.

Citroen e-Berlingo Van FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Citroen e-Berlingo Van charge at 22kW?+−
Only with the optional three-phase onboard charger. The Citroen e-Berlingo Van is single-phase 7.4kW as standard, so a 7.4kW cable delivers its full AC speed. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, choose the 22kW three-phase cable to use it.
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 Citroen e-Berlingo Van need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes, public AC charge points, and depot chargers. The standard onboard charger is 7.4kW single-phase, so a 7.4kW cable at 5m or longer is the right starting point. Vans used in depot environments often benefit from a 7m or 10m lead for flexibility.
Can the Citroen e-Berlingo Van rapid charge?+−
Yes, via CCS DC rapid charging at up to 100kW, which uses the charger's own tethered cable. You do not need to buy a DC charging cable. For AC charging at home, a depot, or a public charge point, you use your own Type 2 to Type 2 cable with the van's standard 7.4kW onboard charger.
How long does the Citroen e-Berlingo Van take to charge?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox the 50kWh battery takes around seven hours from empty, which suits overnight or weekend charging. At a DC rapid charger the battery can top up significantly faster, though exact times depend on the charger's output and how full the battery is. A 3-pin socket is very slow and not recommended as a regular option for a working van.
What length cable do I need for the Citroen e-Berlingo Van?+−
A 5m cable is adequate for many home driveways, but van operators parked at a depot or workplace often find a 7m or 10m lead more practical, particularly where charge points are fixed and the parking position varies. Choose based on the distance from your charge point to where the van typically stops.
