The EV80 is a Type 2 vehicle with a CCS socket for rapid charging, and it charges from the offside front, by the driver's door, where the diesel filler sat on the combustion version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat changes from model to model\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third column is what each car draws from a single phase British supply, which caps out near 7.4 kW on a 32 amp charge point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EV80 takes 7.2 kW and that charger is single phase, so a British supply hands over all of it. Do not read a lower number as a worse car. Single phase chargers hand over their full rating here; three phase ones do not, which narrows the gap to very little. so order the 32 amp version. For a working van charged overnight at a depot or on a driveway, that is the right arrangement: no phases waiting unused and no gap between the brochure figure and what the meter delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe offside front socket matters more on a van than on a car. The EV80 is a large vehicle, and a socket by the driver's door rather than at the rear means nosing into a bay puts the flap within easy reach of a wall box. Reverse it in and the cable has to travel the length of the van.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a commercial vehicle it is worth saying that the lead is a working item rather than an occasional one. Daily plugging and unplugging is what these cables are built for, and the moulded IP67 heads are the part that decides how long that lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicking a length for your driveway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe run matters, not the car.

The EV80 does not. It has a Type 2 socket for AC and a CCS Combo 2 socket for DC, one above the other behind a single flap, Type 2 uppermost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is recorded in German technical data, in a European van database, and by a UK reviewer who opened the flap on camera. So an EV80 works with ordinary UK charge points and ordinary \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003es.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e7.2 kW, and the house is not the limit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe onboard charger is 7.2 kW and single phase, which means a British supply delivers all of it with no phase arithmetic to do. German data gives a full charge as eight hours thirty minutes on a 7.2 kW single phase wall box, and 52 usable kilowatt hours over 8.5 hours is 6.1 kW average, which fits a 7.2 kW ceiling once taper and losses are allowed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUK press at the time quoted seven hours from a 7 kW wall box, which needs more than the van can draw, so the eight and a half hour figure is the defensible one. The car is the bottleneck, not the cable, so the extra current goes unused. A 32A cable carries the full 7.2 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRapid charging, with a caveat on the number\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EV80 does rapid charge, and the figure depends who you ask. German data says 22 kW with eighty per cent in 150 minutes; a European database logged a 28 kW peak in 78 minutes for ten to eighty; UK press said 30 kW in about 90. All three survive their own arithmetic, so the honest answer is around 30 kW with a range of 22 to 30. What it is not is 50 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome vans also carry a second Type 2 socket in the front bumper. Whether that was an early or a late fitment is disputed between a genuine parts listing and a UK reviewer, so check your own van.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBattery, range and payload\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack is 56 kWh by the van's own model designation, with around 52 kWh usable, on lithium iron phosphate chemistry at 400 volts. Range is 190 km or 118 miles WLTP. The 119, 120 and 127 mile figures you will see in period road tests are older NEDC-era claims and should not be presented as WLTP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest matters more for a working van: 92 kW and 320 newton metres driving the front wheels, 3,500 kg gross weight and 910 kg payload.

Five metres can work where the van noses in with the charge point on its right; ten suits a yard where vans park wherever there is room.
