Toyota Proace Electric
Charging cable
The Proace Electric is single-phase 7.4kW as standard. If you specified the optional 11kW three-phase charger, you need the 22kW cable to use it.
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Proace Electric+−
The Toyota Proace Electric 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 Toyota Proace Electric.
The Toyota Proace Electric is a mid-size electric panel van built on the Stellantis van platform, available in the UK from 2021 as a Gen1 model. It comes with a choice of 50kWh or 75kWh battery, both charging through a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for rapid DC. The Proace Electric is aimed at fleet operators and tradespeople who want zero-emission capability without sacrificing load space.
For depot overnight charging or public AC points, you will need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The standard onboard AC charger is rated at 7.4kW on a single phase, though an 11kW three-phase option was available on some variants. Rapid DC charging at up to 100kW uses the charge point's own tethered cable, so that is not something you buy separately.
Select your battery above. The 75kWh pack offers a useful range advantage for longer delivery routes, but takes proportionally longer to top up on AC. 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 Proace Electric need?
Most Proace Electric fleet depots use a row of 7kW wallboxes, and that fits this van perfectly: the standard onboard charger draws up to 7.4kW on a single-phase supply, which is exactly what a typical wallbox or home charger delivers. A 7.4kW rated Type 2 to Type 2 cable is therefore the right tool for the majority of installations, giving the van its full AC charging speed without overspending on a heavier cable.
If your depot or commercial premises has a three-phase supply and you opted for the 11kW onboard charger variant, a 22kW three-phase cable will let the van draw its full 11kW. On any single-phase circuit, however, even a 22kW cable is capped at 7.4kW by the supply, so check your site's provision before buying the heavier cable. A 5m or 7m lead is practical for most depot bays; consider 10m if the charging post is positioned at the front of a longer bay.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 75kWh pack from empty overnight on an off-peak fleet or EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh costs roughly £5 to £6. On a standard business rate of around 27p per kWh that rises to around £20. The 50kWh variant comes in at roughly £4 off-peak or around £14 on a standard rate. Fleet operators running multiple vans should look at dedicated overnight charging tariffs, which offer the biggest savings. Public rapid charging is considerably more expensive and best reserved for on-route top-ups. Always check current rates, as energy tariffs change.

Toyota Proace Electric FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat 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 Toyota Proace Electric need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for wallboxes and public AC points. The standard 7.4kW onboard charger is served by any 7.4kW Type 2 lead. If your site has a three-phase supply and your van has the 11kW charger option, a 22kW cable lets it draw the full 11kW. Rapid DC charging uses the charger's tethered cable and cannot be done with a cable you purchase.
Can the Toyota Proace Electric charge at 22kW?+−
No. Even with the 11kW optional charger fitted, the Proace Electric's maximum AC rate is 11kW, not 22kW. A 22kW cable cannot push more than the onboard charger accepts. Reaching 11kW also requires a three-phase supply; on a single-phase wallbox or home charger, the rate is capped at 7.4kW regardless of the cable you use.
How long does the Toyota Proace Electric take to charge overnight?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, the 50kWh pack takes around 7 hours from empty, and the 75kWh pack around 10.5 hours, both well within a standard overnight window. With the 11kW option on a three-phase supply, those times drop to roughly 5 hours and 7.5 hours respectively. A standard 3-pin socket is far slower and not practical for daily fleet use.
What cable length should I use for the Toyota Proace Electric in a depot?+−
A 5m cable is fine for most depot bays where the post is close to the side of the van. If charging posts are mounted at the end or front of a bay, or if you park in a tighter space where the cable has to reach along the vehicle, a 7m or 10m lead gives you more flexibility without stretching or straining the connector.
