Peugeot e-308 SW EV charger: which one fits best?
The Peugeot e-308 SW has one detail at home that decides your charger choice. As standard it has a 7.4 kW single-phase onboard charger, which uses one phase of your home supply. With the optional three-phase charger, which uses three, it takes up to 11 kW. Which version you have makes the difference between just over four hours and almost seven hours of charging. So check that before you choose. You can compare all Peugeot EV chargers side by side in our overview.
For the Peugeot e-308 SW we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Peugeot e-308 SW?
The right charger depends on the onboard charger in your car. With the standard 7.4 kW single-phase charger, a 7.4 kW EV charger is the perfect match. An 11 kW three-phase charger would actually charge this single-phase car more slowly, because the car only uses one phase.
Do you have the optional three-phase 11 kW onboard charger? Then choose an 11 kW EV charger for full speed. That also gives you room for a next electric car with higher charging power. A 22 kW charger adds nothing here, since the e-308 SW never charges faster than 11 kW.
A built-in MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records your charging precisely. It shows exactly what charging at home costs, separate from your household electricity. That helps for your own insight, or to bill an employer. At 7.4 kW there is no model with a MID meter yet. Our chargers with a MID meter start at 11 kW, so a MID meter only comes into play if you charge at three phases.
The e-308 SW has a Type 2 connection, just like these chargers. You only need a Type 2 charging cable if you want to charge at a public charging point on the road. At home you charge through the fixed cable of the charger. Our home chargers are a low-threshold place to start.
How long does the Peugeot e-308 SW take to charge?
The sum is simple: the 50.8 kWh usable battery divided by the charging power gives the charging time. With the optional 11 kW onboard charger you refill an almost empty battery in about 4.5 hours. With the standard 7.4 kW charger that takes around 7 hours. Plug the car in overnight and it is ready in the morning either way. For high-mileage drivers with the optional charger, the 11 kW charger saves a good two hours per session.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Peugeot e-308 SW need a three-phase connection?
Only if your car has the optional 11 kW onboard charger. That reaches full power on a three-phase connection with an 11 kW charger. With the standard 7.4 kW charger you charge over one phase, so a three-phase connection is not strictly needed. We always recommend having the connection done by a qualified electrician, which is safer and important for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany, with a free quotation for Germany.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records your charging exactly. It shows what home charging costs on its own, and lets you bill an employer or lease company. For the e-308 SW it only matters if you charge at 11 kW over three phases, since MID-metered chargers start at 11 kW. Charging at 7.4 kW? Then you do not need a MID meter to charge, and you can choose purely on price and features.
