Citroën E-Berlingo Multispace EV charger: which one fits best?
The Citroën E-Berlingo Multispace charges at up to 3.7 kW at home, through a Type 1 inlet. That single figure decides your choice. This family van never draws more, not even from a heavier charger. With a usable battery of 20.5 kWh it is back to full well within a night. Want to see the other models? Browse our overview of all Citroën EV chargers.

Which EV charger fits the Citroën E-Berlingo Multispace?
Because this Citroën accepts only 3.7 kW on board, a faster charger buys you no extra speed. A simple 7.4 kW EV charger fills the E-Berlingo Multispace just as quickly as an 11 kW model. Even so, plenty of drivers pick an 11 kW EV charger on purpose. That choice is about your next car, not this one, because the Berlingo caps at 3.7 kW either way.
One thing is worth knowing before you decide. At 7.4 kW our range carries no charger with a built-in MID meter, a kWh meter that is certified for billing. Those start at 11 kW. Browse our EV chargers with a MID meter if certified metering matters to you.
At 7.4 kW you can still steer charging from your phone with a charger with an app, or run the van on your own solar surplus with a solar charger. Want the simplest setup? Our home EV chargers cover the basics without extra functions.
How long does the Citroën E-Berlingo Multispace take to charge?
The sum is straightforward. A usable 20.5 kWh divided by 3.7 kW comes to roughly 5.5 hours for a full charge. Charging losses push that closer to 6 hours in practice. Plug the van in for the evening and it is full by morning. A heavier charger changes nothing here, because the car sets the ceiling.
One practical note. This Citroën has a Type 1 inlet, so charging away from home needs a Type 1 to Type 2 charging cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the E-Berlingo Multispace charge faster with an 11 kW charger?
No. This Citroën accepts 3.7 kW on board. An 11 kW or 22 kW charger fills it no faster than a 7.4 kW unit. An 11 kW charger does prepare you for a future car that charges quicker.
Why is a MID meter useful for this car?
A MID meter is a kWh meter that is certified for billing. It records exactly what your car takes at home, separately from the rest of your household. Your charging costs stop hiding inside one energy bill. On this Berlingo that meter only comes into play from 11 kW upwards, because our 7.4 kW range does not carry one.
Does the charger have to be installed by an electrician?
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany that runs through a free quotation rather than a booking. We ship almost everything worldwide, but installation stays within those three countries.
