Toyota Urban Cruiser
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Urban Cruiser+−
The Toyota Urban Cruiser 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.
Which Toyota Urban Cruiser versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Toyota Urban Cruiser, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Toyota Urban Cruiser Icon
- Toyota Urban Cruiser Excel
- Toyota Urban Cruiser Design
- Toyota Urban Cruiser 61.1kWh AWD
Whichever Urban Cruiser trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

How long does it take?
Charging
the Toyota Urban Cruiser.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser is Toyota's compact electric SUV, arriving in the UK from 2025 and sharing its platform with the Suzuki eVitara. It is offered with two battery sizes: a 49kWh pack on entry trims and a 61kWh pack on higher trims including the AWD variant. DC rapid charging tops out at around 67kW, which is more modest than some rivals but reflects the car's positioning as a practical everyday city-friendly SUV. Both versions use a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC.
For home or public AC charging you connect with a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Urban Cruiser's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases, so the cable type that suits you depends on whether your home supply is single or three phase. Rapid DC charging uses the station's own tethered cable and does not require a lead you buy.
Select your battery above. Both packs share the same 67kW DC peak; the 61kWh version takes a little longer at rapid chargers but gives meaningfully more range. 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 Urban Cruiser need?
The Urban Cruiser's 11kW three-phase onboard charger can only reach that speed with a three-phase supply. UK homes almost always have a single-phase connection, which limits home AC charging to 7.4kW regardless of cable. Given the Urban Cruiser's battery sizes, a 7.4kW home wallbox is well suited: the 61kWh pack charges from empty in around eight to nine hours and the 49kWh pack in roughly seven hours, both comfortable within an overnight window. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable covers that completely.
A 22kW three-phase cable is worth considering if you have a three-phase supply at home or regularly use 22kW public AC chargers. At those points the Urban Cruiser draws its full 11kW. For most buyers on a standard home supply, the 22kW cable adds nothing to home charging speed. One practical note: the Urban Cruiser's 67kW DC peak is lower than some cars in this segment, so topping up at a rapid charger during a long trip takes a little longer than a rival with a higher DC rate would.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 61kWh battery from empty costs roughly £4 to £5 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £16 at a standard domestic rate of roughly 27p per kWh. The 49kWh pack works out at around £3 to £4 and £13 on the same tariffs. An overnight home charge on a time-of-use tariff is the most economical method and well suited to the Urban Cruiser's size and typical use. Public rapid charging is notably more expensive at 45p to 80p per kWh. Check current tariffs before estimating running costs.

Toyota Urban Cruiser FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Toyota Urban Cruiser charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Toyota Urban Cruiser 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 Toyota Urban Cruiser need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC chargers. A 5m lead suits most home setups. On a standard single-phase UK supply, a 7.4kW cable delivers the full speed available. A 22kW three-phase cable only adds benefit if you have a three-phase home supply or regularly charge at 22kW public AC points.
How long does the Toyota Urban Cruiser take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox the 61kWh battery takes around eight to nine hours from empty, and the 49kWh pack takes around seven hours. Both fit within an overnight charge. A three-pin household socket is significantly slower and is better kept as an emergency backup.
What is the Toyota Urban Cruiser's DC charging speed?+−
Both battery variants can accept up to around 67kW on DC, which is more modest than some rivals in this class. A rapid DC charge from 10% to 80% takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes at a compatible charger. DC charging always uses the station's own tethered CCS cable rather than a lead you buy.
Does the Toyota Urban Cruiser share parts with the Suzuki eVitara?+−
Yes. The Urban Cruiser and Suzuki eVitara share the same BEV platform, battery options, and broadly the same charging setup: Type 2 AC inlet, CCS DC port, 11kW three-phase onboard charger, and the same DC peak of around 67kW. The two cars differ in bodywork, interior design, and brand.
