Renault Trafic E-Tech
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Trafic E-Tech+−
The Renault Trafic E-Tech has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW 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 Trafic E-Tech.
The Renault Trafic E-Tech is Renault's fully electric mid-size panel van, announced for UK deliveries from 2026. It sits on an 800-volt platform and is expected to be available with either a 60kWh lithium iron phosphate battery or an 81kWh NMC pack, with DC rapid charging at up to 160kW via a CCS port. Specs are provisional at the time of writing, so verify with Renault before ordering. For AC charging at home or on public charge points, the cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The Trafic E-Tech's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases. That figure sits above the 7.4kW ceiling of a single-phase UK home supply, so the three-phase nuance matters when choosing a cable. DC rapid charging uses the charger's own tethered CCS cable and is not affected by the lead you carry.
Specs are provisional for the 2026 launch. Confirm battery options and AC rate with Renault when ordering. 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 Trafic E-Tech need?
With an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, the Trafic E-Tech can draw more than the 7.4kW ceiling of a standard UK single-phase home supply. On a single-phase wallbox, charging is capped at 7.4kW no matter what cable you use. On a three-phase supply or a 22kW public AC point, however, the van can pull up to 11kW and a 22kW three-phase cable is the correct choice to allow that.
For most drivers using a domestic single-phase wallbox, a 7.4kW cable delivers the maximum available speed and is the more affordable option. If you charge at a depot or business premises with three-phase power, or you regularly use 22kW AC public posts, a 22kW three-phase cable unlocks the van's full 11kW AC rate. Choose based on where you will charge most often.
What does it cost to charge?
Based on provisional specs, filling the 81kWh battery from empty at an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh costs roughly £6. At a standard rate of around 27p per kWh the same charge comes to around £22. The 60kWh LFP option would cost proportionally less per fill. Fleet operators should look at overnight time-of-use tariffs for the lowest running costs. Rates change, so check before budgeting.

Renault Trafic E-Tech FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Renault Trafic E-Tech charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Renault Trafic E-Tech has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
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 Trafic E-Tech need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Whether you need 7.4kW or 22kW rated depends on your supply: a domestic single-phase wallbox caps out at 7.4kW, while a three-phase supply or 22kW public AC point can deliver the van's full 11kW. Match the cable to your main charge location.
Can the Renault Trafic E-Tech charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, but only on a three-phase supply or a 22kW AC public point with a compatible three-phase cable. UK homes almost always have a single-phase supply, which limits AC charging to 7.4kW regardless of the cable rating. Three-phase charging is more common in commercial or depot settings.
How long does the Renault Trafic E-Tech take to charge?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, the 81kWh battery takes around 11 hours from empty, working well overnight. On an 11kW three-phase charge point this drops to around 7.5 hours. DC rapid charging at up to 160kW is much faster but uses the charger's own tethered cable, not one you carry.
What length cable do I need for the Renault Trafic E-Tech?+−
A 5m cable covers most driveways and standard parking bays. In a depot or fleet setting where charge posts may be some distance from the parking space, a 7m or 10m lead is practical. Mid-size vans can be tricky to position precisely, so a longer cable is often a sensible choice.
