Charging
the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV.
The Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV is a first-generation plug-in hybrid SUV, produced from 2019 to 2021. It pairs a petrol engine with a 13.2kWh battery and charges exclusively on AC through a Type 2 inlet; there is no DC rapid charging capability on this vehicle. The cable you use at home or at a public AC charge point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The standard onboard charger is rated at just 3.7kW on a single phase, though some variants were available with a 7.4kW option. Either way, this is a PHEV with a modest battery designed to cover shorter electric-only journeys while the petrol engine extends the total range. Regular home charging keeps daily commuting costs low and battery use maximised.
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 Grandland X PHEV need?
With a standard 3.7kW onboard charger, the Grandland X PHEV draws less than half the output of a typical 7.4kW home wallbox. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is still the right purchase: it covers both the standard and the optional 7.4kW charger variant, and it works at any public AC charge point. There is no benefit to a 22kW cable since neither charger option can approach that rate.
If your Grandland X PHEV has the optional 7.4kW charger, a 7.4kW cable lets it draw the full rate at home or on a public 7kW post. On the standard 3.7kW charger, the car simply draws what it needs and the cable's rating is not the limiting factor. DC rapid charging is not available on this model, so planning around home and workplace AC charging is the practical approach. A 5m cable covers most domestic situations.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 13.2kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1 at an off-peak rate of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £3.55 at a standard rate of 27p per kWh. The small pack makes even peak-rate charging relatively inexpensive in absolute terms. Charging frequently at home, ideally overnight, ensures the electric drive is available for as much of each journey as possible and minimises petrol consumption. Always check current tariff rates as energy costs change over time.

Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV need?+−
The Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 3.7kW.
Can the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.7kW, 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 cable does the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for AC charging at wallboxes and public charge points. The standard onboard charger is rated at 3.7kW; some variants were offered with a 7.4kW upgrade. A 7.4kW cable suits both versions and any current or future wallbox. There is no DC rapid charging on the Grandland X PHEV, so CCS or CHAdeMO cables do not apply.
Can the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV use rapid chargers?+−
No. The Grandland X PHEV does not have a DC rapid charging port and cannot be plugged into rapid chargers. Charging is AC-only through the Type 2 inlet. The standard 3.7kW charger and optional 7.4kW charger both work at home wallboxes and public AC charge points. Plan journeys around overnight home charging for the lowest running costs.
How long does the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV take to charge at home?+−
On the standard 3.7kW charger, the 13.2kWh battery takes around 4 hours from empty on a home wallbox. With the optional 7.4kW charger, that drops to under 2 hours. On a standard 3-pin socket at 2.3kW, expect around 6 hours. The small battery means even a partial top-up during the day can meaningfully add electric range.
What cable length suits the Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV?+−
A 5m Type 2 cable is appropriate for most home driveways and public car park bays. If the wallbox or charge post is positioned further from where the car parks, or if the inlet ends up on the far side from the charging point, a 7m cable gives comfortable additional reach. Choose based on your own driveway layout and where you most often charge.
