Nearly every Peugeot e-Rifter on UK roads wants the same thing: a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The car takes 7.4 kW AC as standard, and 7.4 kW is also the ceiling of a single phase British home supply, so a 32A cable matches the car exactly and leaves nothing unused. The e-Rifter is the passenger version of the e-Partner van and carries identical charging hardware. Peugeot lists an 11 kW three phase on-board charger as an option, but 11 kW is a three phase number. It is only reached at a three phase supply, using our 32A three phase cable. Plug an 11 kW car into a normal home wallbox and it will draw 7.4 kW, the same as everything else. Battery size is where owners get caught out. Peugeot improved the pack in February 2024, lifting usable capacity from 46.3 kWh to 50 kWh and adding a heat pump, yet kept the 50 kWh badge on both cars. The badge therefore tells you nothing. Quoted range is the giveaway: roughly 174 miles for the earlier car, roughly 199 miles for the February 2024 facelift. The connector, the charge rate and the cable are unchanged. Only the time on the clock moves. The seven seat e-Rifter Long shares its battery and on-board charger with the standard car built in the same year, so treat it exactly the same way. On length, 5m is enough when the wallbox sits on the wall the car parks beside and the charge port is reached in one straight run. Go to 10m if you park on the street, share a driveway, or reverse in some days and drive in on others. The conductors are identical, so reach costs you no speed. A Type 2 to 3 pin cable is worth keeping for a night away from home, but it delivers 2.3 kW and takes the better part of a day for a full charge. Treat it as a backup rather than your main method. Petrol PureTech and diesel BlueHDi Rifters built from 2018 have no charging port at all and need no cable. Every cable ships with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67.

A 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The e-Rifter charges at 7.4 kW AC as standard and a 32A single phase cable delivers exactly that, so nothing is left on the table. The 16A version is capped at 3.7 kW and roughly doubles every charge. Both 5m and 10m carry the same rating. Is the 11 kW three phase cable worth buying? Only if you have a three phase supply and the optional on-board charger. A British home is single phase and stops at 7.4 kW, so the three phase cable would charge no faster there. Where three phase is available, a 50 kWh facelift goes from empty to full in about 5 hours 15 minutes instead of 7 hours 45. How long does a full charge take at home? On a 7.4 kW wallbox with the 32A cable, allow about 7 hours for the 46.3 kWh car built before 2024, and about 7 hours 45 minutes for the 50 kWh facelift. Either fits inside an overnight cheap rate window. The 16A cable stretches those figures to roughly 14 hours 15 and 15 hours 15. How do I tell the 2024 facelift from the earlier car? Not by the badge, because both say 50 kWh. The version sold from late 2021 to early 2024 holds 46.3 kWh usable and is quoted at about 174 miles. The February 2024 facelift holds 50 kWh usable, gained a heat pump, and is quoted at about 199 miles. Both use the same Type 2 cable. Can I charge an e-Rifter from a 3 pin socket? Yes, though it is slow. A 3 pin cable delivers 2.3 kW, which works out at roughly 22 hours 45 minutes for the earlier battery and about 24 hours 30 minutes for the facelift. It earns its place for a weekend at a relative's house rather than daily use, and it is IP67 rated. Should I buy a 5m or a 10m cable? Pick 5m when the wallbox is fixed to the wall the e-Rifter parks against and the port is a short straight reach away. Pick 10m for shared driveways, on-street bays, or if the car sometimes faces the other way. The conductors are the same in both, so extra length costs no charging speed.
