Peugeot e-208
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your e-208+−
The Peugeot e-208 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 Peugeot e-208 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Peugeot e-208, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Peugeot e-208 Active
- Peugeot e-208 Allure
- Peugeot e-208 GT
- Peugeot e-208 E-Style
Whichever e-208 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Peugeot e-208.
The Peugeot e-208 Gen 2 is the facelifted version of Peugeot's popular electric supermini, introduced in 2023. It sits in Active, Allure, GT and E-Style trims and is available with either a 51kWh battery (around 48kWh usable) or, on later production, a 54kWh version. DC rapid charging reaches up to around 100kW via CCS. AC charging uses a standard Type 2 inlet, with 11kW three-phase available on higher trim levels.
Charging at home or at a public AC point means using a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. At rapid DC chargers, the station's tethered cable handles the connection, so you do not need to carry one for those sessions. The e-208 Gen 2's AC charging capability varies by trim, so it is worth checking your specific car's specification before buying a cable.
Later e-208 Gen 2 models carry a 54kWh battery; earlier cars use a 51kWh pack. Both share the same peak DC rate of around 100kW. 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 e-208 need?
On lower trims the e-208 Gen 2 charges at up to 7.4kW on a single-phase supply, and on higher trims with the 11kW three-phase onboard charger, it can accept up to 11kW when connected to a three-phase supply. In practice, most UK homes are single-phase, which means AC charging is capped at 7.4kW regardless of trim. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable delivers the full speed available in the majority of home setups.
If your e-208 Gen 2 has the 11kW three-phase onboard charger and you have a three-phase supply at home or you regularly visit 22kW public AC chargers, a 22kW rated cable allows the car to pull its full 11kW. On a standard single-phase wallbox, that same cable delivers no faster than 7.4kW. For most owners, the 7.4kW cable is the correct and cost-effective choice.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 51kWh battery from empty costs roughly £4 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £14 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The 54kWh version costs roughly £4 off-peak and around £15 at standard rates. Either way, the e-208 is an economical car to charge at home. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh costs considerably more. Always verify current tariff rates before budgeting.

Peugeot e-208 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Peugeot e-208 need?+−
The Peugeot e-208 has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC at up to 11kW.
Can the Peugeot e-208 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Peugeot e-208 has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
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 e-208 Gen 2 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The e-208 Gen 2 has a standard Type 2 inlet. For most owners on a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable delivers the full charging speed. A 22kW cable is worth considering only if you have a three-phase supply or your trim supports 11kW and you use 22kW public chargers regularly.
Can the Peugeot e-208 Gen 2 charge at 11kW?+−
On higher trim levels with the 11kW three-phase onboard charger, yes, provided the supply is three-phase. Most UK homes are single-phase, so the practical home charging rate for most owners is 7.4kW. Check your trim specification to confirm whether 11kW three-phase charging is fitted to your car.
How long does the Peugeot e-208 Gen 2 take to charge at home?+−
At 7.4kW on a single-phase home wallbox, the 51kWh battery takes around seven hours from empty, and the 54kWh variant takes roughly seven and a half hours. Both fit within a standard overnight charge. A 3-pin granny cable is far slower at around 20 hours and is better suited to top-up charging or emergencies.
What cable length is best for the Peugeot e-208 Gen 2?+−
A 5m cable suits most home driveways and public charging bays. If your wallbox is mounted further from where the car usually sits, or you park in a position that increases the cable run, a 7m or 10m lead avoids any tension on the connector. Measure the distance before buying rather than guessing.
