Renault Twingo E-Tech
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Twingo E-Tech+−
The Renault Twingo 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 Twingo E-Tech.
The Renault Twingo E-Tech is the fourth-generation Twingo, reimagined as a fully electric city car and confirmed for right-hand drive UK sales from 2026, priced under £20,000. It carries a 27.5kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and charges through a Type 2 inlet for AC, with a CCS port for DC rapid charging at up to 50kW. The lead you bring to a home wallbox or public AC charge post is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable; DC rapid charging uses the charger's own tethered cable.
The Twingo E-Tech's onboard AC charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases. For a small city car, that is a generous AC charge rate, and it does introduce a choice between cable ratings that is worth understanding before you buy.
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 Twingo E-Tech need?
The Twingo E-Tech's 11kW three-phase onboard charger can draw more than the 7.4kW ceiling of a standard UK single-phase home supply. On a domestic wallbox, charging tops out at 7.4kW whatever cable you use, so for the majority of home users a 7.4kW Type 2 cable is sufficient. It is also worth noting that with a 27.5kWh battery, even at 7.4kW the car is full in under four hours.
A 22kW three-phase cable becomes useful only if you have a three-phase home supply or regularly use 22kW public AC charge posts, in which case the Twingo will draw up to 11kW. For most owners of a compact city car, a 7.4kW cable is the sensible and cost-effective choice. Its small battery means charge times are short regardless.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 27.5kWh battery from empty at an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh costs roughly £2. At a standard rate of around 27p per kWh the same charge comes to around £7.50. For a car used primarily around town, even a partial nightly top-up from a wallbox keeps running costs extremely low. Check current tariffs, as rates change.

Renault Twingo E-Tech FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Renault Twingo E-Tech charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Renault Twingo 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 Twingo E-Tech need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For most home users a 7.4kW cable is plenty: the 27.5kWh battery fills in under four hours on a single-phase wallbox. A 22kW three-phase cable only earns its extra cost if you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC charge points.
Can the Renault Twingo E-Tech charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, but only on a three-phase supply with a compatible 22kW cable. Almost all UK home wallboxes are single-phase and capped at 7.4kW. On a three-phase public AC post the Twingo can pull up to 11kW, but with a 27.5kWh battery even 7.4kW charges it quickly.
How long does the Renault Twingo E-Tech take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 27.5kWh battery takes around 3.5 to 4 hours from empty. It is one of the fastest-charging city cars at home purely because the battery is small relative to the charger rate. A standard three-pin socket would take around 10 to 11 hours.
What length cable do I need for the Renault Twingo E-Tech?+−
A 5m Type 2 cable is the natural choice for a compact city car. Most home wallboxes are within easy reach of where you park. A 7m cable gives extra flexibility if the charge point is set back or the inlet lands further from the socket than expected.
