Peugeot e-408
Charging cable
The e-408 is single-phase 7.4kW as standard. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, you need the 22kW cable to use it.
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your e-408+−
The Peugeot e-408 has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 7.4kW 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 e-408.
The Peugeot e-408 is the fully electric version of Peugeot's fastback-SUV crossover, introduced in the UK from 2025. It carries a 58.2kWh usable battery and sits between a hatchback and an SUV in profile, aiming at drivers who want an electric car with distinctive styling. Charging is via a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC rapid charging. The cable you buy handles home wallboxes and public AC charge points; rapid DC charging uses the charger's own tethered cable.
The standard onboard AC charger on the e-408 is rated at 7.4kW on a single phase, though an 11kW three-phase option is available on some specs. Check your car's documentation to confirm which charger is fitted. DC rapid charging reaches up to around 120kW via CCS, which is handled by the tethered cable at a public rapid charger.
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 e-408 need?
With the standard 7.4kW onboard charger, a 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable delivers the car's full AC charging rate from any home wallbox or public AC point. There is no need for a 22kW cable unless your car has the optional 11kW three-phase charger and you have a three-phase supply or access to 22kW public AC stations. A 5m cable suits most home setups.
If your e-408 has the 11kW three-phase optional charger, the advice changes slightly: on a single-phase UK home supply you are still limited to 7.4kW, so a 7.4kW cable remains the practical home choice. A 22kW cable only earns its extra cost if you regularly use three-phase public AC charge points at 22kW or have a three-phase home supply. Most owners will be well served by a 7.4kW cable.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 58.2kWh battery from empty costs roughly £4.35 to £4.50 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £16 at a standard rate near 27p per kWh. Charging overnight on a dedicated EV tariff makes day-to-day running very cost-effective. Check current tariff rates, as they vary.

questions.

Contact usWhat charging cable does the Peugeot e-408 need?+−
The Peugeot e-408 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 7.4kW.
Can the Peugeot e-408 charge at 22kW?+−
Only with the optional three-phase onboard charger. The Peugeot e-408 is single-phase 7.4kW as standard, so a 7.4kW cable delivers its full AC speed. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, choose the 22kW three-phase cable to use it.
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 e-408 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The e-408 has a Type 2 inlet and a standard 7.4kW onboard charger, with 11kW as an option. For most owners a 7.4kW cable is ideal. Only consider a 22kW three-phase cable if your car has the optional 11kW charger and you have three-phase access.
How long does the Peugeot e-408 take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, the 58.2kWh battery takes around eight hours from empty, making an overnight charge very comfortable. With the optional 11kW charger on a three-phase supply, that drops to around six hours. DC rapid charging at up to 120kW uses a tethered cable at a CCS charger.
Does the Peugeot e-408 charge at 11kW?+−
Only if the optional 11kW three-phase charger was specified. The standard charger is 7.4kW. Even with the 11kW option, the car pulls its full rate only on a three-phase supply. On a standard UK single-phase home, the speed is capped at 7.4kW regardless of charger specification.
What length cable works best for the Peugeot e-408?+−
A 5m cable is the standard choice and reaches comfortably for most driveways. The e-408's fastback shape means the charge port position can vary relative to how you park. If you prefer extra slack when plugging in, a 7m lead removes any awkwardness.
