Ferrari 296 GTS
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your 296 GTS+−
The Ferrari 296 GTS 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 Ferrari 296 GTS.
The Ferrari 296 GTS is the open-top convertible version of Ferrari's F171 PHEV coupe, sharing the same mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V6 and electric motor combination as the 296 GTB. On sale from 2022, it carries a 7.45kWh battery and a Type 2 AC inlet, the same connector found on UK home wallboxes and public AC chargers. The GTS adds a retractable hardtop over the GTB but the charging hardware is essentially the same.
Plugging in at home or at a public AC point means bringing a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The 296 GTS's onboard charger is rated at up to around 7.4kW on a single phase, which is the most this car draws on AC. DC rapid charging is not supported, and the battery is sized for urban electric running and performance boost rather than long-distance range.
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 296 GTS need?
The 296 GTS's onboard charger accepts up to around 7.4kW on a single phase, which matches what a standard UK home wallbox supplies. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable gives you the car's full AC charging speed, and the 7.45kWh battery fills in just over an hour at that rate. There is no reason to look at a 22kW cable: the car does not have a three-phase onboard charger and cannot use the extra capacity.
A 5m cable is the most practical choice for most driveways, reaching the wallbox from either end of a typical parked car. The 296 GTS is compact, so length is rarely a limiting factor, but a 7m lead gives a useful margin if the wallbox and the front of the car are on opposite sides.
What does it cost to charge?
With a 7.45kWh battery, filling from empty costs well under £1 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £2 on a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The running cost through charging is negligible at this battery size. The plug-in element is most valuable for short urban trips and reducing emissions in lower speed zones. Check current tariff rates, which change frequently.

Ferrari 296 GTS 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 Ferrari 296 GTS need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC points. The 296 GTS charges at up to around 7.4kW on a single phase, so a standard 7.4kW cable delivers the full available speed. A 22kW cable offers no benefit as the car's onboard charger cannot use more than 7.4kW.
Can the Ferrari 296 GTS charge at 22kW?+−
No. The 296 GTS has a single-phase onboard charger rated at up to around 7.4kW. A 22kW cable or charger cannot increase the charging speed beyond that limit. You need a three-phase onboard charger to use 22kW, and this car does not have one.
How long does the Ferrari 296 GTS take to charge?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox, the 7.45kWh battery fills from empty in just over one hour. In everyday use the battery rarely runs to empty, so a plug-in during dinner or a couple of hours on a public AC point is all that is needed to restore full electric range.
Does the Ferrari 296 GTS support DC rapid charging?+−
No. The 296 GTS is AC-only for plug-in charging. There is no CCS or CHAdeMO DC connector. Given the small 7.45kWh battery, the 7.4kW AC charger fills it quickly enough that DC rapid charging would offer little practical advantage even if it were available.
