Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your 308 PHEV+−
The Peugeot 308 PHEV has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 3.7kW 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 Peugeot 308 PHEV.
The Peugeot 308 PHEV is the third-generation 308 in plug-in hybrid form, available as a hatchback and estate (SW) in the UK from 2021. It has a 12.4kWh battery, which typically delivers around 30 to 35 miles of electric range. The charging inlet is a standard Type 2, so you connect at home or at public AC points using a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The 308 PHEV has no DC rapid charging capability.
The standard onboard charger on most 308 PHEVs runs at 3.7kW, with a 7.4kW option available on some trims. Confirm which charger your car has from the original order or the handbook, as it affects how quickly the battery fills. The cable is the same Type 2 to Type 2 lead in either case.
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 308 PHEV need?
With an AC charging rate of 3.7kW on the standard charger, the 308 PHEV fills its 12.4kWh battery in around three to three and a half hours. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable will serve both the standard 3.7kW version and the optional 7.4kW variant, cutting charge time to roughly two hours if the faster charger is fitted. A 5m cable covers home wallboxes and most public AC points.
A 22kW three-phase cable is unnecessary for the 308 PHEV. The maximum this car can draw on AC is 7.4kW, so a three-phase cable adds cost with no speed benefit. Keep it simple: a good quality 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 5m is all you need for this car.
What does it cost to charge?
The 12.4kWh battery costs roughly £0.90 to £1 to fill from empty at an off-peak tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £3.30 at a standard domestic rate near 27p per kWh. The small capacity makes topping up very cheap, and plugging in daily costs very little even on a standard tariff. Check current rates before estimating running costs.

Peugeot 308 PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Peugeot 308 PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Peugeot 308 PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.7kW, 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 Peugeot 308 PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable rated at 7.4kW. The 308 PHEV has a Type 2 inlet and an onboard charger of either 3.7kW or optionally 7.4kW. The cable works for both versions. There is no DC rapid charging on this model, so a Type 2 lead covers all your charging needs.
How long does the Peugeot 308 PHEV take to charge?+−
With the standard 3.7kW charger, the 12.4kWh battery takes around three hours from empty. With the optional 7.4kW charger, that falls to around two hours. Both make daily top-ups very easy, and overnight charging is faster than necessary.
Does the Peugeot 308 PHEV support DC rapid charging?+−
No. The 308 PHEV only charges on AC, with no DC port. You are limited to wallbox or public AC charging at up to 7.4kW depending on which onboard charger was specified when the car was ordered.
What cable length do I need for the Peugeot 308 PHEV?+−
A 5m Type 2 cable suits the large majority of home and public charging situations. If your wallbox is set well back from where you park the car, a 7m cable gives you breathing room without the excess of a 10m lead.
