LDV EV80
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your EV80+−
The LDV EV80 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 LDV EV80.
The LDV EV80 (2017 to 2020) is a large panel van built on the EV80 platform, aimed at fleet and commercial operators requiring zero-emission delivery capability. It carries a 56kWh battery and charges via a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC. The cable required for depot wallboxes and public AC points is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead; DC rapid sessions use the station's own tethered cable.
The EV80's onboard AC charger is rated at around 6.6kW on a single phase, which sits just below the 7kW output of a standard commercial wallbox. DC rapid charging via CCS is supported at up to around 40kW, offering a meaningful mid-shift top-up option for fleet operators. Charging infrastructure at a depot is the practical solution for commercial operators running this van.
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 EV80 need?
With an onboard AC charger rated at around 6.6kW, the EV80 draws close to the output of a standard 7kW commercial wallbox, making a 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable the sensible choice for depot or on-site charging. The single-phase charger means three-phase or 22kW cables add no benefit: the van will charge at its 6.6kW ceiling regardless of the cable rating.
For commercial van use, cable length is a practical consideration. A 5m cable covers most depot bays with the van parked close to the wallbox socket, but a 7m or 10m lead gives more flexibility in busy yards where parking is not always aligned with the charger. Leaving a dedicated cable at the depot rather than carrying one in the van is common practice for fleets.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 56kWh battery from empty costs roughly £4.20 on an off-peak tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £15 at a standard commercial rate of roughly 27p per kWh. Fleet operators on dedicated overnight charging contracts will see significantly lower running costs than vehicles relying on public rapid chargers. Check current business energy tariffs as rates change.

LDV EV80 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the LDV EV80 need?+−
The LDV EV80 has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 6.6kW.
Can the LDV EV80 charge at 22kW?+−
No, the LDV EV80 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 cable does the LDV EV80 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for AC charging at depot wallboxes and public AC points. The EV80's onboard charger handles around 6.6kW single-phase, so a 7.4kW cable is the right match. For DC rapid sessions up to around 40kW, the charging station provides its own CCS tethered cable.
Can the LDV EV80 rapid charge?+−
Yes, the EV80 supports DC rapid charging via CCS at up to around 40kW, which can add significant range during a mid-shift break. AC charging through the Type 2 inlet is limited to around 6.6kW, so depot overnight charging is the primary strategy for commercial fleet operators.
How long does the LDV EV80 take to charge?+−
At around 6.6kW AC, the 56kWh battery takes roughly eight to nine hours from empty to full, making overnight depot charging the standard approach. On a DC rapid charger at around 40kW, the battery can be partially recharged in under an hour, useful for mid-shift top-ups.
What length cable do I need for the LDV EV80?+−
For depot use, a 7m cable offers flexibility across different bay configurations. A 5m lead is fine when the van parks close to the wallbox, but a longer cable suits yards where parking positions are less predictable. Confirm the distance from your wallbox socket to the van's charging port when deciding.
