Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV EV charger: Which one is the best fit?
The Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV charges at home using alternating current at a maximum of 7.4 kW because its onboard charger operates on a single phase. This makes choosing the right EV charger straightforward: you do not need an expensive 22 kW charger to fully recharge this plug-in hybrid overnight. To compare all versions first, view our overview of all Land Rover EV chargers at Wallbox Discounter.
For the Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV, we recommend an EV charger from our range of 7.4 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger is suitable for the Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV?
The onboard charger of the Defender 110 PHEV accepts a maximum of approximately 7.4 kW on a single phase. A three-phase 11 or 22 kW EV charger will therefore not charge the vehicle any faster because the car itself limits the charging power. A 7.4 kW charger is a natural match: it uses the vehicle’s full AC charging capacity without making you pay for unused power. Choose a charger with an integrated MID meter when the charged kilowatt-hours must be reimbursed by an employer or leasing company. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for ERE registration. The ERE scheme applies exclusively in the Netherlands.
| Situation | Recommended EV charger | MID meter | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard home charging | 7.4 kW EV charger | Depends on the model | Matches the Defender’s maximum single-phase charging capacity. It uses the available charging power without making you pay unnecessarily for a higher output. |
| Business use or ERE registration in the Netherlands | Zaptec Go 2 22 kW | Yes | The integrated MID meter accurately records the charged kilowatt-hours. This makes it suitable for employer or leasing-company reimbursement and, exclusively in the Netherlands, ERE registration. |
| Smart home charging | Easee Charge Up 22 kW | No | A compact and intelligent EV charger with a Type 2 socket. It automatically limits the charging power to what the Defender can accept and remains suitable for a future EV with a higher AC charging capacity. |
| Budget-friendly choice | Loady Pulse 7.4 kW | No | An affordable single-phase EV charger that is technically well matched to the Defender’s maximum AC charging capacity. It does not have an integrated MID meter. |
To compare models with a certified electricity meter, view our EV chargers with a MID meter. The Defender charges through a Type 2 connection. When using an EV charger or public charging station with a socket, you need a suitable Type 2 charging cable.
How long does it take to charge the Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV?
The usable battery capacity of approximately 16 kWh can be fully recharged with a 7.4 kW EV charger in around 2.5 hours. Connect the vehicle in the evening and it will therefore be ready long before the following morning. Depending on the version, the electric WLTP range is up to approximately 48 kilometres. This is enough to complete many short daily and commuting journeys largely on electric power. Suitable versions also support DC fast charging through CCS at up to approximately 50 kW.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Land Rover Defender 110 PHEV require a three-phase connection?
No. Its onboard charger operates on a single phase and accepts a maximum of approximately 7.4 kW. A single-phase 7.4 kW EV charger rated at 32 amps is therefore sufficient. A three-phase 11 or 22 kW charger can also be used but will not charge the Defender any faster.
Why is a MID meter important for the Defender 110 PHEV?
A MID-certified kWh meter accurately and verifiably records charging consumption. This is particularly important when the charged kilowatt-hours are reimbursed by an employer or leasing company or recorded as business charging costs. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for ERE registration. The ERE scheme applies exclusively in the Netherlands. We also recommend having the charger installed by a certified electrician so that the connection is safe and complies with the applicable standards.
