Ford e-Transit Custom
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your e-Transit Custom+−
The Ford e-Transit Custom 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 Ford e-Transit Custom versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Ford e-Transit Custom, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Ford e-Transit Custom 65 kWh 100 kW
- Ford e-Transit Custom 71 kWh 100 kW
- Ford e-Transit Custom 71 kWh 160 kW
- Ford e-Transit Custom 71 kWh 210 kW
- Ford e-Transit Custom 71 kWh 100 kW AWD
- Ford e-Transit Custom 71 kWh 160 kW AWD
Whichever e-Transit Custom trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Ford e-Transit Custom.
The Ford e-Transit Custom is the electric mid-size panel van in Ford's commercial lineup, available in the UK from 2023. It sits above the smaller e-Transit Courier and is designed for tradespeople and fleet operators who need more load capacity without sacrificing the running-cost advantages of an electric drivetrain. The van uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging, which means the cable you supply is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead compatible with any standard wallbox or public AC point.
Battery capacity varies across trims: the entry-level variant uses a 65kWh pack while the higher trims move to a 71kWh gross battery. DC rapid charging goes up to 125kW on the top variants via the charger's own tethered CCS cable. For routine overnight or depot charging, the onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases, which is the figure that determines how useful a higher-rated cable will be.
The 65kWh entry trim charges more quickly than the 71kWh variants at the same AC rate. DC speed depends on trim: entry-level tops out at around 100kW. 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 Custom need?
The e-Transit Custom needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for wallbox and public AC charging. Its onboard charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. At a single-phase home or depot supply, which is the norm across most UK sites, AC charging is limited to 7.4kW no matter the cable rating. At 7.4kW the 64kWh usable battery takes around nine hours from flat, and the 71kWh variants a little longer, both well within an overnight window.
Where a three-phase supply is available, the van can pull its full 11kW, bringing charge time down to around six to seven hours depending on battery size. A three-phase rated cable earns its place in that scenario. For home charging or single-phase depot units, a 7.4kW cable is the practical and more economical choice and delivers the maximum speed the supply will allow.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging a 64kWh usable battery from empty costs roughly £5 at around 7.5p per kWh on an off-peak tariff, and around £17 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The 71kWh variants cost a little more per full charge. Fleets charging overnight on a dedicated EV tariff will see the biggest savings over diesel. Public rapid charging is significantly more expensive per kWh and is best reserved for top-ups on longer journeys. Check current rates, as energy tariffs change frequently.

Ford e-Transit Custom FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Ford e-Transit Custom charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Ford e-Transit Custom 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 Custom need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The van's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. On a single-phase supply, which is standard in most UK homes and smaller depots, a 7.4kW cable gives the full available speed. On a three-phase supply a higher-rated cable lets the van charge at its maximum 11kW rate.
How long does the Ford e-Transit Custom take to charge?+−
On a single-phase 7.4kW wallbox, the 64kWh usable battery takes around nine hours from empty. The 71kWh variants take a little longer at the same rate. On a three-phase 11kW supply charge time drops to around six to seven hours. Overnight depot charging suits the van's duty cycle well in either case.
Can the Ford e-Transit Custom use a 22kW cable?+−
No. The onboard AC charger is limited to 11kW on three phases, so a 22kW cable cannot make the van charge faster than 11kW. On a single-phase supply the cap is 7.4kW regardless of cable rating. A three-phase rated cable is the right choice if you have three-phase supply access, but 22kW cables provide no benefit for this van.
What cable length do I need for the Ford e-Transit Custom?+−
Panel vans are bulkier than cars, so cable reach matters. A 5m cable works where the wallbox is close to the parking spot, but a 7m or 10m lead is often more practical for a van, particularly if the charge point is at the back of a garage or set to one side of the parking bay.
