Fuso eCanter
Charging cable
Charges about 195% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your eCanter+−
The Fuso eCanter has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 22kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 22kW 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 Fuso eCanter.
The Fuso eCanter is a fully electric light truck, offered in the UK in its next-generation form from 2023. It targets operators running short regional or urban routes, including distribution fleets and local authorities, and is typically charged at a depot rather than a home driveway. Battery options span roughly 41kWh, 83kWh, and 124kWh depending on configuration, giving operators flexibility to match range to their daily duty cycle. The truck uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging, so the cable required is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The next-generation eCanter's onboard AC charger supports up to 22kW on three phases, a step up from many passenger EVs. DC rapid charging via CCS reaches around 104kW and uses the charger's own tethered cable. For depot or site-based overnight charging, selecting the right Type 2 cable matters because the eCanter can genuinely benefit from three-phase power in a way that most cars cannot.
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 eCanter need?
The eCanter's onboard charger supports up to 22kW on three phases, which is genuinely useful for a vehicle of this size where charge time is a commercial consideration. A three-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable rated to 32A or better is the sensible choice if your depot has a three-phase supply and a compatible charge point. At 22kW the 83kWh battery takes around four hours from empty, and the larger 124kWh variant around six hours.
If the charge point is single-phase, the eCanter is limited to 7.4kW regardless of the cable, and the larger batteries will take significantly longer overnight. Depot operators planning infrastructure should prioritise three-phase supply installation if possible, as the eCanter can make full use of it. For vehicles that only ever charge at a single-phase site, a 7.4kW cable still works, but a three-phase cable is the better long-term investment for a commercial fleet.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 83kWh mid-range battery from empty costs roughly £6 to £6.50 on an off-peak tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £22 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The 124kWh variant costs proportionally more per full charge. Depot operators on a commercial energy contract should calculate costs using their own agreed rate, which is typically lower than domestic tariffs. Public rapid charging is considerably more expensive per kWh. Check current commercial energy rates, as they vary.

Fuso eCanter 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 Fuso eCanter need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The eCanter has a Type 2 inlet and an onboard AC charger that supports up to 22kW on three phases. For depot charging with a three-phase supply a 32A three-phase cable is the best choice. On a single-phase supply the truck charges at up to 7.4kW regardless of the cable or charge point rating.
Can the Fuso eCanter charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, provided a three-phase supply and a compatible 22kW AC charge point are available. The onboard charger on the next-generation eCanter supports up to 22kW on three phases. On a single-phase supply, including most standard depot sockets, AC charging is limited to 7.4kW. Three-phase infrastructure is common at commercial depot sites and is strongly recommended for operators running this truck.
How long does the Fuso eCanter take to charge?+−
On a three-phase 22kW AC supply the 83kWh battery charges in around four hours from empty. The 124kWh variant takes around six hours at the same rate. On a single-phase 7.4kW supply those times extend to around 11 hours and around 17 hours respectively. DC rapid charging at up to 104kW is considerably faster but uses a tethered cable at the charge point.
What cable length suits the Fuso eCanter?+−
The eCanter is a truck, so cable reach is particularly important. A 10m cable is strongly recommended for depot charging to allow flexibility in where the vehicle is parked relative to the charge point. Shorter 5m or 7m leads can restrict positioning and cause operational inconvenience on a busy depot forecourt.
