Toyota RAV4 PHEV
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your RAV4 PHEV+−
The Toyota RAV4 PHEV has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 6.6kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.

Charging
the Toyota RAV4 PHEV.
The Toyota RAV4 PHEV is a fifth-generation family SUV that pairs a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an 18.1kWh plug-in battery, available in the UK from 2020. It charges exclusively through a Type 2 inlet on AC, as there is no DC rapid charging capability on this vehicle. The cable you carry is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead, used at home wallboxes and public AC charge points.
The RAV4 PHEV's onboard AC charger is rated at 6.6kW on a single phase. That figure caps what the car can draw regardless of the cable or charge point used. It is a capable family vehicle with a real-world electric-only range that suits most daily commutes when topped up regularly, making home charging the priority for most owners.
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 RAV4 PHEV need?
The RAV4 PHEV draws a maximum of 6.6kW on AC, which sits just below the 7.4kW output of a standard home wallbox. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable is therefore the correct and practical choice for this car: it covers the car's full onboard charging speed and works at home, at destination chargers, and at public AC points. There is no benefit to spending more on a 22kW cable, because the car cannot charge above 6.6kW under any circumstances.
There is also no DC rapid charging on the RAV4 PHEV, so the familiar tethered cables at motorway services cannot be used. Planning around AC top-ups at home or at work is the straightforward approach. A 5m cable handles most home wallbox and public car park installations; a 7m lead is worth considering if your driveway is longer or your wallbox is set back from where you normally park.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 18.1kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1.35 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £5 on a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. Because the pack is relatively small, even a standard rate top-up is inexpensive, and regular short charges keep running costs very low. The RAV4 PHEV's efficiency depends heavily on how often the battery is charged, so a home wallbox pays for itself quickly in fuel savings. Check current tariff rates as these figures change over time.

Toyota RAV4 PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Toyota RAV4 PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Toyota RAV4 PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 6.6kW, 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 charging cable does the Toyota RAV4 PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for AC charging at wallboxes and public charge points. The onboard charger accepts up to 6.6kW, so a standard 7.4kW cable covers the car's full speed. There is no DC rapid charging on the RAV4 PHEV, so rapid charging cables and tethered CHAdeMO or CCS connectors are not relevant for this vehicle.
Can the Toyota RAV4 PHEV use rapid chargers?+−
No. The RAV4 PHEV does not have a DC rapid charging port and cannot use rapid or ultra-rapid charge points. Charging is limited to AC only, at up to 6.6kW through the Type 2 inlet. Regular overnight charging at home is the most practical way to maximise the electric range for daily driving.
How long does the Toyota RAV4 PHEV take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 18.1kWh battery charges from empty in around 3 hours, which is very convenient for an overnight or daytime top-up. On a standard 3-pin socket at around 2.3kW, the same charge takes closer to 8 hours. Wallbox charging is comfortably the better option for day-to-day use.
What cable length do I need for the Toyota RAV4 PHEV?+−
A 5m cable suits most standard driveways and public car parks where the wallbox or post is close to the vehicle. If your wallbox is mounted further from where you park, or you often use public bays with the post at one end, a 7m or 10m lead is a sensible choice to avoid having to position the car precisely every time.
