Citroën EV charger advice

The easiest way to charge an electric Citroën is at home, on your own EV charger. The charging power you need depends on the model. The e-C3 and e-C4 charge at 7.4 kW as standard and at 11 kW with the optional on-board charger. The e-Jumpy handles 11 kW as standard. Wallbox Discounter has a separate page for each Citroën model we cover, with charging advice for your exact version.

Charging specifications per Citroën model

The table below shows the maximum AC charging power of each Citroën model we cover. Click through to the model page for charging times and specific advice on the right EV charger. 

Standard and optional equipment can differ by country and model year. Your order confirmation, the technical data sheet of your car or its charging menu shows which on-board charger you have.

Which EV charger suits a Citroën?

Most Citroën EVs charge at home on a single phase at 7.4 kW. With the optional three-phase 11 kW on-board charger, they charge faster. Only the e-Jumpy charges at 11 kW as standard. That makes an 11 kW EV charger the most future-proof choice for almost every Citroën. Drive a single-phase car today? Your charger is then ready for your next model.

Single-phase means the car draws power from one of the phases of your mains connection, three-phase means it uses all three. An 11 kW charger supplies 16 A per phase. A car charging on one phase therefore gets 3.7 kW from it, half of what a standard Citroën can take. Want the full 7.4 kW on one phase? Then choose a 7.4 kW EV charger. Do you have a three-phase connection and the optional on-board charger? Then an 11 kW charger gives you the full charging power straight away.

We recommend a charger with a built-in MID meter. A MID meter is a certified, calibrated kWh meter inside the charger. It records the electricity you charge at home separately from your household consumption, so you know exactly what charging costs you. Our single-phase 7.4 kW chargers do not have a built-in MID meter; in our range, that starts at 11 kW. In our view, a MID meter is no longer a luxury but simply a smart choice.

Browse all 11 kW EV chargers or 22 kW EV chargers in our range. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified installer, because it is safer and matters for your insurance. We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany, it runs through a free quotation.

Frequently asked questions about Citroën EV chargers

What charging power do most Citroën cars have?

Models such as the e-C3, e-C4 and e-Berlingo charge at 7.4 kW on a single phase as standard. On three phases they reach 11 kW as an option. The e-Jumpy charges at 11 kW as standard. The e-SpaceTourer has 7.4 kW as standard, with 11 kW as an option. An 11 kW EV charger covers the maximum AC charging power of every recent Citroën EV. The e-Jumpy uses it as standard, the other models with the optional 11 kW on-board charger.

Does a Citroën need a Type 2 connection?

Modern Citroën EVs charge via a Type 2 connection, just like almost all EV chargers. Only the older Citroën C-Zero still uses a Type 1 plug. For charging on the go, you then need a matching Type 1 to Type 2 charging cable. At home, you can use the same cable on a charger with a Type 2 socket.
