Charging
the Ford Transit Custom PHEV.
The Ford Transit Custom PHEV is a mid-sized panel van sold in the UK from 2019, pairing a 2.5-litre Duratec petrol engine with an 11.8kWh battery in a plug-in hybrid arrangement. It is designed to cover urban delivery and trade use on electric power for shorter runs, with the petrol engine extending range beyond what the battery alone provides. It charges through a Type 2 inlet at home or at a depot, and all charging is AC only: there is no DC rapid charging port on this model.
The cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The Transit Custom PHEV's onboard charger is rated at around 3.7kW. As with other PHEVs of this generation, the vehicle's own charger sets the charging rate rather than the wallbox or cable.
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 Transit Custom PHEV need?
The Transit Custom PHEV's onboard charger draws around 3.7kW, comfortably below the 7.4kW that most home wallboxes and public AC points supply. The car caps the rate at 3.7kW regardless of cable rating, so any Type 2 to Type 2 cable of standard specification gives you the full speed available. There is no benefit in buying a higher-rated cable for this van.
A 5m cable suits most home or small depot setups. The Transit Custom is a mid-sized van, so the distance from wallbox to charging port depends on how the vehicle is parked. If the van needs to park at some distance from the charge point, a 7m or 10m lead avoids the cable pulling tight. Overnight charging at 3.7kW is the natural routine for this vehicle.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 11.8kWh battery from empty costs roughly 89 pence on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £3.19 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. For van operators, home or depot charging overnight on an off-peak tariff keeps running costs low. Check current tariffs, as commercial electricity rates vary.

Ford Transit Custom PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Ford Transit Custom PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Ford Transit Custom PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.7kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
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 Transit Custom PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home or depot AC charging. The van's onboard charger draws around 3.7kW, so any standard-rated cable delivers the car's full charging speed. There is no DC rapid charging on this model, so home, depot, or public AC charging covers all needs.
Can the Ford Transit Custom PHEV rapid charge?+−
No. The Transit Custom PHEV has no DC rapid charging capability. All charging is AC only, limited to around 3.7kW through the onboard charger. This makes overnight or daytime depot charging the standard approach for commercial operators.
How long does the Ford Transit Custom PHEV take to charge?+−
At the van's 3.7kW onboard charging rate, the 11.8kWh battery fills in roughly three to four hours from empty on a wallbox. That fits comfortably within a lunch break or an overnight session. A 3-pin domestic socket takes around five to six hours and is best used as a backup rather than the primary charging method.
What length cable suits the Ford Transit Custom PHEV?+−
A 5m cable covers most home setups. If the Transit is parked at some distance from the charge point, or your depot charge point is a fixed wall unit, a 7m or 10m cable is a practical choice. The van's length means the charging port may be further from a wall socket than you expect.
