Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your 508 PHEV+−
The Peugeot 508 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 508 PHEV.
The Peugeot 508 PHEV is the second-generation 508 in plug-in hybrid form, sold as both a saloon and the 508 SW estate since 2019. The battery is relatively compact at 11.8kWh, delivering around 25 to 35 miles of electric range under typical conditions. Like most modern plug-in hybrids, it charges through a Type 2 inlet, meaning a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is what you use at home or at a public AC point. There is no DC rapid charging on this model.
Most 508 PHEVs leave the factory with a 3.7kW onboard charger, though the 7.4kW option was available and improves charge times significantly. Check your handbook or original order to confirm the charger fitted to your car. Either version takes the same Type 2 cable.
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 508 PHEV need?
A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable suits the 508 PHEV well, whether it has the standard 3.7kW charger or the faster optional 7.4kW variant. At 3.7kW the 11.8kWh battery takes around three hours from empty; at 7.4kW the same pack fills in roughly one and a half to two hours. A 5m cable is the right length for most home wallbox setups.
There is no benefit in a 22kW three-phase cable for the 508 PHEV. The car's onboard charger goes no higher than 7.4kW, so a bigger cable makes no difference to charging speed. Save the cost and pick a reliable 7.4kW Type 2 lead.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 11.8kWh battery from empty costs roughly £0.85 to £0.90 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £3.20 at a standard rate near 27p per kWh. With such a modest battery, daily home charging is very inexpensive. Check current tariff rates before making running cost calculations.

Peugeot 508 PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Peugeot 508 PHEV need?+−
The Peugeot 508 PHEV 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 3.7kW.
Can the Peugeot 508 PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Peugeot 508 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 cable does the Peugeot 508 PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The 508 PHEV has a Type 2 AC inlet and an onboard charger of either 3.7kW (standard) or 7.4kW (optional). A 7.4kW cable covers both variants. No DC rapid charging is available, so this cable covers all your charging needs.
How long does the Peugeot 508 PHEV take to charge at home?+−
With the standard 3.7kW charger, the 11.8kWh battery takes roughly three hours from empty. If the 7.4kW charger was fitted, charge time is around one and a half to two hours. Plugging in at home each evening ensures the battery is always full for morning commutes.
Can the Peugeot 508 PHEV use a rapid charger?+−
No. The 508 PHEV has no DC port and cannot use rapid or ultra-rapid public chargers. Charging is limited to AC only, at wallboxes and public AC points, at a maximum rate of 7.4kW with the optional charger, or 3.7kW with the standard unit.
Does cable length matter for the Peugeot 508 PHEV?+−
Yes, to a degree. A 5m cable handles the majority of home driveways and public bays. If your wallbox is mounted further back, or you sometimes park with the car reversed in, a 7m lead gives the extra reach to avoid any awkward angles at the connector.
