Vauxhall Grandland Electric
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Grandland Electric+−
The Vauxhall Grandland 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 Vauxhall Grandland Electric.
The Vauxhall Grandland Electric is the second-generation Grandland, launched in 2024 and built on Stellantis's STLA Medium platform. It is offered in two battery configurations: a 73kWh pack and a larger 97kWh Long Range variant for extended journeys. Both versions use a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for rapid DC, with a DC maximum of 160kW. The Grandland Electric is a five-seat family SUV with a boot large enough to carry the charging cable without compromise.
For home and public AC charging, the cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The onboard charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases, which governs the maximum speed at any AC session. Rapid DC charging at up to 160kW bypasses the onboard charger entirely and uses a tethered lead fixed to the charger, so the cable you buy has no influence on DC speed.
Both variants share the same 160kW DC peak and 11kW AC maximum. The Long Range 97kWh battery takes longer to fill at home but adds significantly more real-world range between charging stops. 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 Grandland Electric need?
Both Grandland Electric variants use a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for AC charging. The 73kWh battery takes around 10 hours on a 7.4kW home wallbox and the 97kWh Long Range takes around 13 hours, so overnight charging is the natural pattern. A 7.4kW cable provides the full speed a standard UK single-phase wallbox can deliver, and there is nothing to gain from upgrading the cable rating for home use: the single-phase supply caps the rate at 7.4kW before the car's 11kW limit even comes into play.
A 22kW three-phase cable is worth considering if you regularly charge at 22kW public AC stations. The Grandland Electric's onboard charger can draw up to 11kW at those points with a three-phase cable, roughly halving the time compared to a 7.4kW single-phase connection. For a car with a 97kWh battery that distinction can save a meaningful amount of time at a destination charger. For home charging only, the 7.4kW cable remains the right choice. A 5m length covers most home setups; consider 7m if the distance between wallbox and car is on the longer side.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 97kWh Long Range from empty costs roughly £7 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £26 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The 73kWh Standard is around a quarter cheaper per full charge at roughly £5 on the same off-peak tariff. Given the large battery in the Long Range, an off-peak overnight tariff matters more than on smaller EVs: the saving between peak and off-peak rates is substantial at that battery size. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh makes a big dent in running costs for regular long-distance users. Check current rates with your supplier.

Vauxhall Grandland Electric FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Vauxhall Grandland Electric charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Vauxhall Grandland Electric 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 Vauxhall Grandland Electric need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charging points. Both the 73kWh and 97kWh variants use the same Type 2 inlet. A 5m, 7.4kW cable suits most home setups. The onboard charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases, so a 22kW cable only benefits owners who regularly use 22kW public AC stations.
Does the Vauxhall Grandland Electric charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Grandland Electric's onboard AC charger peaks at 11kW on three phases. On a standard UK single-phase home supply the maximum rate is 7.4kW, regardless of cable. At a 22kW public AC station with a three-phase cable, the car will draw up to 11kW.
How long does the Vauxhall Grandland Electric take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 73kWh Standard takes around 10 hours from near-empty and the 97kWh Long Range takes around 13 hours. Both fit within an overnight charge if you plug in when you return home. A standard 3-pin socket is far too slow for either battery to be practical for daily use.
How fast does the Vauxhall Grandland Electric rapid charge on DC?+−
Both the 73kWh and 97kWh variants accept DC rapid charging at up to 160kW via their CCS port, using the charger's tethered cable. At a 150kW to 160kW capable charger, the 73kWh battery goes from 10% to 80% in around 28 to 32 minutes. The 97kWh Long Range takes a little longer at around 35 to 40 minutes given its larger capacity.
