What is unexpected is the charger: 9.6 kW across three phases as standard, with 11 kW optional in some markets, on a car from a decade ago when 3.7 kW was normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7.4 kW ceiling is the house, not the cable: three phase ratings only mean something where three phases arrive. So a British house delivers it a full 7.4 kW and a 32A cable is genuinely worth having, which is not what you would guess from the age of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAnd no rapid charging whatsoever\u003c\/h2\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. On a 28 kWh battery that is a real constraint rather than a footnote, because the car is at its best on short local runs where it can be topped up at home each night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector is standard Type 2, not any of the older oddities you might expect on a 2015 electric car, so any modern Type 2 lead fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe B 250 e plug-in hybrid is a different car\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 to 2022 B 250 e holds about 10.6 kWh usable from a 15.6 kWh pack for around 43 miles of electric range. Its charger is single phase: 3.6 kW as standard with an optional 7.4 kW, so a 32A cable helps only if yours was ordered with the upgrade. A 24 kW DC option existed in Germany and we cannot confirm it was sold here.\u003c\/p\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, 28 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, Electric Drive draws 7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 30 mins\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\u003e13 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 come from dividing the pack by the power the car actually draws, with 13 per cent added for losses.
