Ford e-Transit Courier
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your e-Transit Courier+−
The Ford e-Transit Courier 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 Ford e-Transit Courier.
The Ford e-Transit Courier is the all-electric version of Ford's compact panel van, on sale in the UK from 2024. It carries a 43kWh battery and is aimed squarely at urban last-mile deliveries and small tradespeople who need a dependable workhorse rather than long motorway legs. Like passenger EVs, it uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging, so the cable you supply is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead that plugs into any compatible wallbox or public AC point.
The e-Transit Courier's onboard charger handles up to 11kW on three phases, and it can rapid-charge on DC at up to 100kW using the charger's own tethered CCS cable. For everyday charging at a home wallbox or depot charge point, a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is what you need, and understanding the 11kW figure is key to choosing the right one.
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-Transit Courier need?
For home or depot charging the e-Transit Courier needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Its onboard charger supports up to 11kW on three phases, but most UK homes and many smaller depots run a single-phase supply, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW regardless of the cable's rated current. At 7.4kW the 43kWh pack takes around six hours from empty, which fits comfortably into an overnight charge. A 7.4kW cable is therefore the practical choice for single-phase sites.
If the charging location has a three-phase supply and a compatible 11kW or 22kW AC charge point, the e-Transit Courier will pull its full 11kW, cutting the charge time to roughly four hours. A three-phase rated cable is worth having in that case. For most van operators charging overnight at home or at a single-phase depot unit, the 7.4kW cable does the job and costs less.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 43kWh battery from empty costs roughly £3 to £3.50 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £12 on a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. For operators charging at a depot overnight, a dedicated EV tariff can make a significant difference to running costs. Public rapid charging is considerably dearer per kWh, so it is best used for top-ups on the road rather than regular overnight charging. Check current tariffs, as rates change.

Ford e-Transit Courier FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Ford e-Transit Courier charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Ford e-Transit Courier 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 Ford e-Transit Courier need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The e-Transit Courier has a Type 2 inlet and an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. On a typical single-phase home or depot supply a 7.4kW cable delivers the maximum available speed. On a three-phase supply a higher-rated cable lets the van draw its full 11kW.
How long does the Ford e-Transit Courier take to charge at home?+−
On a single-phase 7.4kW wallbox the 43kWh battery takes around six hours from empty, which suits an overnight charge easily. On a three-phase 11kW supply it drops to around four hours. A standard 13A socket is significantly slower and is best kept as an emergency option rather than a regular charging method for a commercial vehicle.
Can the Ford e-Transit Courier charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, but only on a three-phase supply. The onboard charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. On a standard single-phase UK supply, including most home wallboxes, AC charging is capped at 7.4kW regardless of the cable or charge point rating. Three-phase supplies are more common at commercial depots and some public AC hubs.
What length cable do I need for the Ford e-Transit Courier?+−
A 5m cable suits most situations, but vans can be awkward to position relative to a wallbox. If the charge point is set back from your parking spot or the van needs to be manoeuvred to reach the inlet, a 7m or 10m lead gives you more flexibility and avoids pulling the cable taut.
