Charging
the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e (generation L550, from 2020) is a compact five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV that sits below the full-size Discovery in Land Rover's range. It uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine alongside an electric motor and a 15kWh battery, providing enough electric range for daily school runs and commutes before the petrol engine picks up on longer trips. The charging inlet is Type 2, and the cable you carry for home and public AC points is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The Discovery Sport P300e's onboard AC charger accepts up to 7kW on a single phase. Some variants also support DC rapid charging at around 32kW, though this is not confirmed across all specifications: check the documentation for your particular car. The 7kW AC rate is the core charging method, and a home wallbox covers routine top-ups for most owners.
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 Discovery Sport P300e need?
With an onboard charger rated at 7kW single-phase, the Discovery Sport P300e draws closely to the output of a standard 7kW home wallbox. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right match and provides the full speed the car's charger can accept. Three-phase cables are unnecessary here: the charger is single-phase, and no cable change will push AC charging above 7kW.
A 5m cable handles most driveways and residential parking spots. The Discovery Sport is a mid-size SUV, and if you park at an angle or the charging inlet ends up facing away from the wallbox, a 7m lead gives useful additional reach. If your specific car has DC rapid charging capability, the station provides its own tethered cable for those sessions.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 15kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1.13 on an off-peak tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £4 at a standard rate of roughly 27p per kWh. At 7kW, the battery refills from empty in just over two hours, so a short evening plug-in is all that is needed to start each day with a full electric charge. Check current tariffs as rates vary.

Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Discovery Sport P300e charges on AC via a Type 2 inlet at up to 7kW. Some variants may also support DC rapid charging around 32kW via CCS; in that case the charging station provides its own cable for DC sessions.
Can the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e rapid charge?+−
Some Discovery Sport P300e variants support DC rapid charging at around 32kW, which can add range during a stop. However, this is not confirmed across all specifications. Check your car's documentation. AC charging through the Type 2 inlet is limited to 7kW and is the standard method for home use.
How long does the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e take to charge at home?+−
At 7kW on a home wallbox, the 15kWh battery takes roughly two to two and a half hours from empty to full. That easily fits within a short evening or an hour or two at a destination charger. A standard 3-pin socket at around 2.3kW would take around six to seven hours for the same charge.
What length cable do I need for the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e?+−
A 5m cable is a solid starting point for home driveways. If the wallbox is set away from your usual parking spot, or your typical parking orientation puts the charging inlet on the far side from the wallbox, a 7m lead is worth choosing. Measure your actual parking arrangement before buying.
