Renault Master E-Tech
Charging cable
Charges about 195% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Master E-Tech+−
The Renault Master E-Tech has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 22kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 22kW 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.

Charging
the Renault Master E-Tech.
The Renault Master E-Tech Gen2 is a large panel van that arrived in the UK in 2024, built around Renault's latest electric van architecture. It is available with a substantial 87kWh battery and charges through a Type 2 inlet for AC, with a CCS port for DC rapid charging at up to 130kW, which uses the charger's own tethered cable rather than anything you supply. For home wallboxes and public AC points, the lead you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable.
The onboard AC charger on the Gen2 Master E-Tech supports up to 22kW on three phases, a specification more common on vans than on passenger cars. That figure matters when you are deciding which cable to buy, because three-phase charging genuinely can use the higher-rated cable in the right environment.
The 87kWh pack gives a long operating range between charges, which suits operators who cannot always stop mid-day for a top-up. 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 Master E-Tech need?
The Master E-Tech Gen2's onboard AC charger handles up to 22kW on three phases, which is meaningfully different from most passenger EVs. In a depot or business premises with a three-phase supply and a 22kW AC charge point, this van can draw its full 22kW. In that setting a 22kW three-phase Type 2 cable is the right choice and will charge the van noticeably faster than a 7.4kW cable.
At a standard domestic wallbox on a single-phase supply, however, AC charging is capped at 7.4kW regardless of the cable's rating. For home use or single-phase public AC points, a 7.4kW cable is perfectly adequate. Operators who split time between a three-phase depot and a single-phase home charger may prefer a 22kW cable for versatility, while those who only ever charge on a single-phase circuit can save money with a 7.4kW lead.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 87kWh battery from empty on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh costs roughly £6.50. At a standard rate of around 27p per kWh the same charge comes to around £23.50. Fleet or business operators will often access cheaper overnight rates or use on-site three-phase charging to keep running costs down. Check current tariffs before budgeting, as rates change.

Renault Master E-Tech FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Renault Master E-Tech need?+−
The Renault Master E-Tech 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 22kW.
Can the Renault Master E-Tech charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Renault Master E-Tech has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 22kW.
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 Renault Master E-Tech Gen2 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Whether you need a 7.4kW or 22kW version depends on your charging setup. A three-phase depot charger or 22kW AC public point can deliver the van's full 22kW; a domestic single-phase wallbox is capped at 7.4kW. Choose the cable rating that matches your primary charge location.
Can the Renault Master E-Tech Gen2 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, it can, but only on a three-phase supply with a 22kW AC charge point and a compatible cable. UK homes are almost always single-phase, which limits AC charging to 7.4kW. Depots and commercial premises with three-phase power are where the 22kW capability is genuinely useful.
How long does the Renault Master E-Tech Gen2 take to charge?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, the 87kWh battery takes roughly 12 hours from empty. On a 22kW three-phase AC point this drops to around 4 hours. DC rapid charging via the CCS port at up to 130kW is much faster still for longer trips, but uses the charger's own cable rather than one you carry.
What length Type 2 cable do I need for the Renault Master E-Tech Gen2?+−
A 5m cable covers most domestic driveways. In depot or fleet settings where charge points may be set back from the parking bay, a 7m or 10m lead avoids awkward stretching. Large vans can be harder to position precisely next to a charge post, so a longer cable is rarely wasted.
