Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Eclipse Cross PHEV+−
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has a Type 1 inlet and a single-phase 3.6kW 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV that arrived in the UK in 2021, sharing its core electrified drivetrain with the longer-running Outlander PHEV. It carries a 13.8kWh battery pack and offers an electric-only range of around 35 miles WLTP. One important detail for cable buyers: the Eclipse Cross PHEV uses a Type 1 (J1772) AC inlet rather than the Type 2 connector found on most newer European EVs. For DC rapid charging it uses a CHAdeMO connector, which is handled by the charger's own tethered cable.
Because the AC inlet is Type 1, the cable you need for home wallboxes and public AC points is a Type 2 to Type 1 lead, not the more common Type 2 to Type 2. The wallbox or charge point provides the Type 2 end; the car end is the round, 5-pin J1772 connector. The onboard AC charger draws up to 3.6kW, making this a single-phase, low-power charger by modern standards.
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 Eclipse Cross PHEV need?
The Eclipse Cross PHEV's 3.6kW onboard AC charger means any Type 2 to Type 1 cable rated at 7.4kW is well above what the car can use. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 1 cable delivers roughly twice the power the car can actually draw, so there is no point choosing a higher-rated option. The car limits the speed, not the cable.
A 5m cable is the most practical choice for home use. With a 3.6kW charge rate, the 13.8kWh battery takes around 4 hours from empty on a wallbox, and around 5 to 6 hours on a standard household socket using a Type 1 granny lead if you have one. For most PHEV owners, plugging in each evening keeps the battery topped up without needing anything more elaborate.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 13.8kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1.00 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £3.75 on a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The pack is modest in size, so even a slow charge fills it in a few hours. Check current tariff rates, as these can change.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.6kW, 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 1 cable, because the Eclipse Cross PHEV has a Type 1 (J1772) AC inlet rather than Type 2. The wallbox end is Type 2; the car end is the round, 5-pin J1772 connector. A 7.4kW cable rating is more than sufficient as the car's onboard charger tops out at 3.6kW.
Can the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV charge at 7.4kW?+−
No. The onboard AC charger is rated at 3.6kW, so the car draws at most 3.6kW regardless of what the cable or wallbox can supply. The 13.8kWh battery takes around 4 hours to charge from empty at that rate, which works well for an overnight or daytime charge.
How long does the Eclipse Cross PHEV take to charge at home?+−
From empty, the 13.8kWh battery takes around 4 hours on a 3.6kW wallbox. On a standard household socket the rate drops to around 2.3kW, so expect closer to 6 hours. Because it is a PHEV with a relatively small battery, plugging in daily keeps it topped up easily.
What length cable do I need for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV?+−
A 5m Type 2 to Type 1 cable covers most driveways comfortably. If your wallbox is mounted a little further away, or the car's port ends up on the far side when parked, a 7m lead removes any strain on the connector. A 10m cable is an option if your setup is particularly awkward.
