Two different single phase chargers were fitted, 3.7 kW and 7.4 kW, and the difference is a full charge in three hours forty-five minutes against one hour fifty-five. The RAC put it plainly when it tested the car: the 4x4 models manage the faster figure while the E-Tense 225 can only charge at up to 3.7 kW and needs almost twice as long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorse, which one is standard changed. DS UK's March 2023 price guide lists 7.4 kW as standard on the E-Tense 4x4 300 and 4x4 360 and 3.7 kW on the 225. The July 2024 guide lists 3.7 kW as standard on every E-Tense, with the 7.4 kW unit as a 400 pound option under code LZ02. Both are official DS documents. So a 2024 4x4 cannot be assumed to have the faster charger, and a 2023 one cannot be assumed to lack it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractically: if you know your car takes 7.4 kW, buy the 32A cable. If it is a 225, or you are not sure, the 16A cable carries 3.6 kW and covers a 3.7 kW car completely. A heavier lead makes no difference, because nothing downstream of the onboard charger sets the pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNo rapid charging, on any of them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no rapid charging on this one, and no socket that could offer it. Every kilowatt hour it ever receives comes down the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e, so the lead is a functional part of the car rather than something kept in the boot for emergencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat applies to the 13.2 kWh car of 2019 to 2022 and to the 14.2 kWh facelift alike. It is a fact worth knowing before a long journey rather than during one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe two batteries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEarly cars carry 13.2 kWh gross with 11.5 kWh usable, quoted at 31 miles of electric range on the 4x4 300 and 34 on the 225. The 2022 facelift moved to 14.2 kWh gross and 12.9 kWh usable, and DS's 2023 guide quotes 35 to 43 miles for the 225, 38 to 42 for the 4x4 300 and 36 for the 4x4 360. The 2024 guide revised the 225 down to 32 to 37 miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are small packs by electric car standards, which is why the charger question matters so much: on a 3.7 kW car the whole battery fills in an evening anyway, and the faster charger buys convenience rather than capability.\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, 11.5 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 12.9 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 7.4 kW, if fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 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 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 15 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\u003eThe calculation is the battery over the delivered kW, uplifted 13 per cent for charging losses, quarter hour rounded.

Read the row that matches your charger rather than the faster one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDS quotes about six and a half hours from a 2.3 kW domestic socket for the facelift, which is a genuine overnight option on a pack this size and a reasonable fallback away from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a DS 7\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe owner's handbook states it directly: the charging flap is on the rear left-hand side of the vehicle, with the fuel filler opposite.
