What separates one Leon e-HYBRID from another is the model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 to mid-2024 car runs a 12.8 kWh gross battery with around 10.6 kWh usable, quoted at 39 miles of electric range on the 204 PS hatch, 37 on the VZ and 35 to 36 on the estate. From mid-2024 the battery became 19.7 kWh usable, and electric range went to 81 miles on the 204 PS hatch and 74 to 77 on the VZ cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore mid-2024: a 16A car, and Cupra says so\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe earlier Leon e-HYBRID takes 3.6 kW on a single phase, and single phase is what it was designed around, so a British house delivers the full rate. Cupra's own UK price list prints the row as a charging time of three hours thirty-three minutes from empty at 3.6 kW on 16 amps, alongside five hours from a 2.3 kW domestic socket. An Australian road test of the VZ version independently records the ceiling as 3.7 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA bigger cable cannot change this, because the limit sits in the car rather than the lead. So the 16A cable is the correct purchase for these cars, and choosing the 32A version buys current that never leaves the wall box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRapid chargers are irrelevant here, because there is no DC connector to plug them into. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e does all of the work, which is why a missing one on a used car is a bigger problem than most buyers expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom mid-2024: DC charging, and one unresolved figure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe newer car picked up a CCS inlet rated at 50 kW, ten to eighty per cent in 26 minutes. Cupra's press material for the related SEAT version puts it plainly: up to 50 kW on DC, or 11 kW on an AC wall box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are going to be straight with you about what is not known. The newer car is quoted at 11 kW across three phases, and nobody publishes what it draws from one. An 11 kW unit is normally 16A on each of three phases, and if that is all it can do, a British house would see roughly 3.7 kW. Against that, Cupra now supplies a 32A cable with the car where the older one came with a 16A lead, which only makes sense if the car can use 32A. We have not found a source that settles it, so we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. Buy the 32A lead, which covers the good outcome and costs nothing in the bad one, and ask a dealer for the single phase figure if you want certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 10.6 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 19.7 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A at home, later car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A, either car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHours are worked from battery size against power drawn, plus a 13 per cent allowance for what is lost as heat, rounded to fifteen minutes. Miles per hour is worked at 3.5 miles per kWh, a figure that survives a cold morning. The columns are the two batteries: 10.6 kWh usable before mid-2024 and 19.7 after.
