Peugeot Partner Electric
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Partner Electric+−
The Peugeot Partner Electric has a Type 1 inlet and a single-phase 3.5kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.

How long does it take?
Charging
the Peugeot Partner Electric.
The Peugeot Partner Electric B9 is the older, second-generation Partner van in electric form, sold in the UK from 2013 to 2018. It shares its drivetrain with the Citroen Berlingo Electric of the same era, using a Mitsubishi-sourced electric powertrain. Crucially, this van uses a Type 1 AC inlet rather than the Type 2 that is standard on all modern EVs. That means the cable you need is a Type 2 to Type 1 lead, connecting a standard wallbox or public AC socket to the van's older Type 1 port.
The van has a 22.5kWh battery and an onboard AC charger rated at around 3.5kW. It also has a separate CHAdeMO port for DC rapid charging at up to around 50kW, but those sessions use the tethered CHAdeMO cable at a CHAdeMO-equipped rapid charger rather than a cable you buy. If you own a B9-generation Partner Electric, check the inlet carefully before buying: it is Type 1, not Type 2, and the cable must match.
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 Partner Electric need?
The Partner Electric B9 needs a Type 2 to Type 1 cable, not the Type 2 to Type 2 cable used by modern electric vehicles. The wallbox or public AC socket end is Type 2 as usual, but the car end is the older five-pin Type 1 connector. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 1 cable is compatible, though the van's 3.5kW onboard charger means the actual charging rate tops out well below the cable's rated capacity.
Because the maximum AC draw is around 3.5kW, you will never need a 22kW cable for this van. Even a basic 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 1 cable delivers more than the van's charger can use. Focus on getting the right connector type at the car end. A 5m or 7m lead suits most situations.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 22.5kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1.50 to £1.70 on an off-peak tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £6 at a standard rate near 27p per kWh. At 3.5kW the van takes around six to seven hours to charge fully, making an overnight charge the natural routine. Check current tariff rates.

Peugeot Partner Electric FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Peugeot Partner Electric need?+−
The Peugeot Partner Electric has a Type 1 inlet, so it needs a Type 1 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 3.5kW.
Can the Peugeot Partner Electric charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Peugeot Partner Electric has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.5kW, 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 type of cable does the Peugeot Partner Electric B9 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 1 cable. Unlike modern EVs which use Type 2 at both ends, the B9-generation Partner Electric has a Type 1 inlet. The wallbox end of the cable is Type 2, but the connector that plugs into the van is the older five-pin Type 1. Using a Type 2 to Type 2 cable will not work on this van.
How fast does the Peugeot Partner Electric B9 charge?+−
The onboard AC charger is rated at around 3.5kW, so filling the 22.5kWh battery from empty takes roughly six to seven hours. This makes overnight charging the standard approach. DC rapid charging via the separate CHAdeMO port reaches up to around 50kW, but uses the tethered cable at a CHAdeMO rapid charger.
Can the B9 Partner Electric use a public AC wallbox?+−
Yes, provided you have a Type 2 to Type 1 cable. Most public AC charge points have a Type 2 socket, and your Type 2 to Type 1 cable bridges the gap to the van's Type 1 inlet. The van will charge at its maximum 3.5kW regardless of the charger's rated output.
What length cable suits the Peugeot Partner Electric B9?+−
A 5m cable covers most driveways and commercial yard setups. If you park in a bay where the distance to the charger is greater, or the cable needs to reach around the van, a 7m lead is a practical step up without being cumbersome.
