Charging
the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid.
The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is the first-generation (970 platform) plug-in version of Porsche's grand touring saloon, sold from 2013 to 2016. It combines a supercharged V6 petrol engine with an electric motor and a 9.4kWh battery. Charging uses a Type 2 inlet for AC and there is no DC rapid charging on this model.
To charge at home or at a public AC point you need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The onboard AC charger on this generation is rated at 3.6kW single-phase, which is relatively modest. That means filling the 9.4kWh battery from empty takes around two and a half to three hours at full rate, and even a basic 3.6kW cable is sufficient for everything this car can draw.
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 Panamera S E-Hybrid need?
Because the Panamera S E-Hybrid charges at only 3.6kW, any Type 2 to Type 2 cable rated at 7.4kW or above will handle the full rate the car can draw. There is no case for a 22kW cable here: the onboard charger cannot use it. A standard 7.4kW rated Type 2 to Type 2 lead is more than adequate and will see you through any home or public AC charging session.
A 5m cable is typically enough for home installations. If you park at a distance from the wallbox, or need to route the cable around the car, a 7m lead removes the need to stretch or position the car awkwardly to connect.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 9.4kWh battery from empty costs less than £1 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £2.50 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The battery is small enough that even a 3-pin socket will fill it in a reasonable time, though a wallbox is more convenient. Check current tariff rates, as they change.

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid need?+−
The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid 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 3.6kW.
Can the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.6kW, 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 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. This generation of Panamera S E-Hybrid uses a Type 2 inlet and charges on AC only at 3.6kW single-phase. There is no DC rapid charging. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is all that is needed; higher-rated cables offer no benefit.
How fast can the Panamera S E-Hybrid charge?+−
The maximum AC charging rate is 3.6kW on a single phase. The car cannot charge faster than this regardless of cable rating or charger type. With a 9.4kWh battery, a full charge from empty takes roughly two and a half to three hours at 3.6kW.
Can the Panamera S E-Hybrid use a rapid charger?+−
No. This model has no DC rapid charging capability. It charges exclusively via the Type 2 AC inlet at up to 3.6kW. Public AC chargers can be used, but the maximum speed is always limited to what the car's onboard charger can accept.
What length cable do I need for the Panamera S E-Hybrid?+−
A 5m cable is adequate for most home setups. If your wallbox is set away from your parking spot, or the charging port ends up on the opposite side of the car to the charger, a 7m lead gives you comfortable reach without any awkward stretching or repositioning.
