Renault Kangoo Z.E. EV charger: overview per version
The Renault Kangoo Z.E. charges at home at up to 7.4 kW through a single phase (32A). A heavier charger will not top up this van any faster, because the car sets the pace. What matters more is a charger that suits your version and your fuse box. The Kangoo Z.E. came in two versions, each with its own plug type. Check which version you have below, or browse all Renault EV chargers in our overview.
For the Renault Kangoo Z.E. we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.
Versions of the Renault Kangoo Z.E.
| Version | Years | Plug | Max. AC power | Charger info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kangoo Z.E. Phase 1 | 2011 - 2013 | Type 1 | 7.4 kW | Renault Kangoo Z.E. Phase 1 |

Depending on the version, the Kangoo Z.E. carries a battery of roughly 22 to 33 kWh. Renault improved the cell energy density over the years, so the range grew without the battery taking up more space. The charging power stayed at up to 7.4 kW throughout. The Kangoo Z.E. has no DC fast charging, so you always charge at home or at an AC charge point.
Which EV charger fits the Renault Kangoo Z.E.?
Because the Kangoo Z.E. charges at up to 7.4 kW on a single phase, a 7.4 kW charger is the logical choice. Do you have a three-phase connection at home and expect a faster car later? Then an 11 kW EV charger is a more future-proof pick, although the Kangoo Z.E. itself never charges beyond 7.4 kW.
A MID meter is worth considering. That is a certified kWh meter that logs your charging accurately. At 7.4 kW our range currently has no charger with a built-in MID meter. If that matters to you, look at our chargers with a MID meter, where one adjustable model covers 11 kW. In the Netherlands, a MID meter also lets private drivers earn back around 10 cents per kWh charged at home. A settlement provider books this as emission reduction units (ERE). That scheme applies from 2026 in the Netherlands only.

How long does the Renault Kangoo Z.E. take to charge?
Charging time depends on your charger. Count on about 4.5 hours for a full charge on a 7.4 kW charger. On a lighter 3.7 kW home charger, a full battery takes about 9 hours. With a 7.4 kW charger your Kangoo Z.E. is full again every night, even after a busy working day.
Which charging cable do you need?
The Kangoo Z.E. Phase 1 has a Type 1 inlet, the Phase 2 a Type 2 (Mennekes) inlet. If you choose a charger with a socket instead of a fixed cable, the cable type depends on your version. The Phase 2 needs a matching Type 2 charging cable, the Phase 1 a Type 1 to Type 2 cable. We always recommend having the connection made by a certified installer, which is safer and important for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany.

Frequently asked questions about the Renault Kangoo Z.E.
Can I charge the Renault Kangoo Z.E. faster with an 11 or 22 kW charger?
No. The onboard charger of the Kangoo Z.E. accepts at most 7.4 kW. A heavier charger does not charge the car any faster. An 11 kW charger can still be handy if you expect a car later that handles more power.
Do I need a charger with a MID meter?
A MID meter is not required to charge, but it logs your consumption accurately. In the Netherlands it is needed to claim the ERE payment from 2026. At 7.4 kW our range has no charger with a built-in MID meter. If you want one, look at the 11 kW range.
