Honda e
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your e+−
The Honda e has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 6.6kW 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 Honda e.
The Honda e is a first-generation battery-electric city car, produced from 2020 and discontinued in 2024. Its retro-styled hatchback body houses a 28.5kWh usable battery, giving an honest urban range well suited to its compact character. Charging goes through a Type 2 inlet for AC sessions, and the car also has a CCS port for DC rapid charging. The lead you bring to a home wallbox or public AC point is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable.
The Honda e's onboard AC charger is rated at 6.6kW on a single-phase supply, which sits just below the 7.4kW ceiling of a standard UK home wallbox. This means a 7.4kW cable already covers the car's full AC charging speed, with nothing left on the table. For rapid top-ups at DC fast chargers, the charger's tethered CCS cable does the work, not a lead you buy.
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 need?
The Honda e's onboard charger peaks at 6.6kW, which is already below the 7.4kW that a standard home wallbox and a basic 7.4kW cable can deliver. There is simply no benefit in a higher-rated cable: the car's electronics limit AC intake to 6.6kW no matter what the cable is rated for. A straightforward 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the correct and complete answer for home and AC public charging.
Cable length is more of a practical question than a technical one for the Honda e. A 5m lead handles most home driveways and on-street charge points without issue. If you rely on public car park chargers where the unit might be a few metres from where you park, a 7m cable gives useful extra reach. There is no additional speed to be gained from any cable choice on this car.
What does it cost to charge?
A full charge from empty on the 28.5kWh battery costs roughly £2.15 on an off-peak rate of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £7.70 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. For a city car covering mainly short trips, even partial charges keep costs very low. Overnight charging on a dedicated EV tariff is the cheapest routine. Check current tariffs, as rates change.

Honda e FAQs
Good
questions.

Contact usCan the Honda e charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Honda e has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 6.6kW, 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 Honda e need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC chargers. The Honda e charges at up to 6.6kW on single-phase AC, so a 7.4kW cable delivers the car's maximum AC speed. For rapid DC charging, the fast charger provides its own tethered CCS lead.
Can the Honda e charge faster than 7kW?+−
No. The Honda e's onboard AC charger is limited to 6.6kW on single-phase supply. No cable, wallbox, or public AC charger can push the car beyond that figure. A 7.4kW rated cable already exceeds the car's own ceiling, so it is all you need for home and AC charging.
How long does the Honda e take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox the Honda e's 28.5kWh usable battery takes around four to five hours from empty to full. Overnight charging covers even a deeply depleted battery with ease. On a 3-pin socket it takes roughly eleven to twelve hours, so a wallbox makes a real difference to convenience.
What cable length suits the Honda e?+−
A 5m cable is the most popular choice and suits most driveways and destination chargers. If you often use public chargers where the post is set back from the parking bay, a 7m lead avoids having to reposition the car. There is no speed difference between lengths.
