Lexus ES 350e
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your ES 350e+−
The Lexus ES 350e has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW 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.
Which Lexus ES 350e versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Lexus ES 350e, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Lexus ES 350e Takumi
- Lexus ES 350e Premium
- Lexus ES 350e Premium Plus
Whichever ES 350e trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Lexus ES 350e.
The Lexus ES 350e is the first fully electric version of Lexus's executive saloon, introduced for the Mk8 generation from 2026. It carries a 77kWh battery (around 74.7kWh usable) paired with a 150kW drive motor, and sits at the premium end of the battery electric saloon segment alongside the Takumi, Premium, and Premium Plus trim levels. Charging uses a standard Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for rapid DC, bringing it in line with mainstream UK charging infrastructure.
For everyday charging, whether at a home wallbox or a public AC point, the cable you need is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The ES 350e's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. Rapid DC charging at up to 150kW uses the charger's own tethered cable and is not something you supply yourself.
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 ES 350e need?
The ES 350e can accept up to 11kW on three-phase AC. In practice, almost every UK home runs on a single-phase supply, which limits AC charging to 7.4kW regardless of the cable you choose. For the vast majority of owners, a 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the right pick and will extract the full speed your home wallbox can deliver.
A 22kW rated cable would only prove its worth if you have a three-phase supply at home, which is rare in UK residential settings, or if you regularly use 22kW public AC chargers. On those points the ES 350e would charge at its full 11kW. On a standard single-phase home setup, however, a 22kW cable charges at exactly the same 7.4kW as a simpler 7.4kW lead, so any extra cost goes purely on the future-proofing case.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the ES 350e's 77kWh battery from empty on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh costs roughly £6. On a standard rate of around 27p per kWh that rises to around £21. Charging at home overnight on a dedicated EV tariff is comfortably the most economical approach for daily use. Public rapid chargers are significantly dearer, typically 45p to 80p per kWh, so they are better reserved for longer journeys. Always check current tariff rates, as they shift.

Lexus ES 350e 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 Lexus ES 350e need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The ES 350e's onboard charger handles up to 11kW on three phases, though most UK homes are limited to 7.4kW single-phase. A 5m cable suits most driveways; pick a 7m or 10m lead if the socket is further away from where you park.
Can the Lexus ES 350e charge at 22kW?+−
No. The ES 350e's onboard AC charger tops out at 11kW, so it cannot exceed that on any AC supply. On a typical single-phase home wallbox the actual charging rate is 7.4kW. A 22kW cable still only delivers 11kW to the car, and only on a three-phase supply, which is uncommon in UK homes.
How long does the Lexus ES 350e take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox the 77kWh battery takes around 10 to 11 hours from empty to full, which easily fits an overnight charge. On a standard 3-pin socket via a granny cable the same fill would take over 30 hours, so that should be reserved as an emergency option rather than a regular routine.
What length cable do I need for the Lexus ES 350e?+−
A 5m cable is enough for most home driveways where the wallbox is close to the car. Choose a 7m or 10m cable if your wallbox is set further back, if you park nose-out rather than nose-in, or if the charging port ends up on the far side from the socket. It is better to have a little extra reach than to find the cable falls short.
