Peugeot e-Boxer
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your e-Boxer+−
The Peugeot e-Boxer 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-Boxer.
The Peugeot e-Boxer is a large electric panel van on sale in the UK since 2020, sharing its platform and drivetrain with the Citroen e-Relay. It is available in a 70kWh battery configuration and suits operators running depot-based or home-based fleets where overnight charging covers the daily route. Charging for AC top-ups uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable you buy is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The e-Boxer's onboard AC charger handles up to 7.4kW on a single phase, which is the limit regardless of what cable or wallbox you connect. For rapid DC charging on public networks the van uses a CCS port, which takes a tethered cable from the rapid charger itself, not a cable you purchase separately.
The e-Boxer charges at 7.4kW AC maximum; a higher-rated cable will not increase that speed. 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-Boxer need?
Because the e-Boxer's onboard charger is limited to 7.4kW on one phase, a standard 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the right choice for both home wallboxes and public AC points. There is no technical benefit to fitting a 22kW three-phase cable: the van simply cannot draw more than 7.4kW on AC.
For a depot installation, a 10m cable gives extra reach when vehicles park in varying positions relative to a fixed charger point. For home charging from a dedicated wallbox, a 5m lead suits most standard driveways. Choose a rugged, untangled cable rated for repeated daily use given the commercial context.
A 5m cable suits a home wallbox installation; fleet depot users often find a 10m lead more practical when parking positions vary.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 70kWh battery from empty costs roughly £5 to £6 on an off-peak EV or business tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £19 on a standard rate at around 27p per kWh. For a depot or fleet context, overnight charging on a time-of-use tariff is the obvious way to keep running costs down. Public rapid DC charging is considerably dearer per kWh and is better suited to emergency top-ups on longer routes. Check current tariffs, as rates change.

Peugeot e-Boxer FAQs
Good
questions.

Contact usWhat 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-Boxer need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The e-Boxer's onboard charger is rated at 7.4kW single-phase, so a 7.4kW cable fully covers that. For rapid DC charging on public networks, the van uses a CCS connector with the charger's own tethered cable, not one you supply.
Can the Peugeot e-Boxer charge at 22kW?+−
No. The e-Boxer's onboard AC charger is limited to 7.4kW on a single phase, so it cannot charge faster than that on AC regardless of the cable or wallbox used. A 22kW cable will deliver exactly the same 7.4kW to the van as a cheaper 7.4kW cable.
How long does the Peugeot e-Boxer take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox, the 70kWh battery takes roughly 10 to 11 hours from empty to full, making an overnight charge the straightforward approach for depot and home fleet use. A 3-pin granny lead is far slower and unsuitable as a primary charging method for a van this size.
What cable length do I need for the Peugeot e-Boxer?+−
A 5m cable suits a fixed home wallbox where the van parks in a consistent position. In a depot or yard setting where parking varies, a 10m lead is a sensible choice to give reliable reach without straining the cable or connector.
