SEAT EV charger: which model fits your car?
Do you drive an electric or plug-in hybrid SEAT? Then the right EV charger depends mainly on your model. The three SEAT models we cover charge at very different speeds. The plug-in Leon eHybrid tops out at 3.7 kW, while the fully electric el-Born reaches 11 kW. At Wallbox Discounter every SEAT model has its own page with the exact charging data. Pick your model below and you will know which charger fits.
Charging specifications per SEAT model
| Model | Max. AC charging power | Page |
|---|---|---|
| SEAT Mii Electric | 7.2 kW (two-phase, so a three-phase charger is required) | SEAT Mii Electric |
| SEAT el-Born | 11 kW (three-phase) | SEAT el-Born |
| SEAT Leon eHybrid | 3.7 kW (single-phase) | SEAT Leon eHybrid |
Which EV charger suits a SEAT?
The el-Born, sold in most markets as the CUPRA Born, charges at 11 kW on a 3-phase connection. That is the fastest option in the SEAT range. The Mii Electric reaches 7.2 kW, but it draws that power from two phases at once. Those two phases only exist on a 3-phase connection. On a 1-phase connection the Mii stays at 3.6 kW. The plug-in Leon eHybrid never exceeds 3.7 kW and charges fine on almost any charger. An 11 kW charger therefore serves all three models at their maximum.
Where possible, choose a charger with a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter. It records your charging separately from the rest of your household use, so you see what charging at home costs you. At 11 kW the choice of models with a built-in MID meter is narrow. You have more options among the EV chargers with a MID meter, which are mostly 22 kW models. A 22 kW charger charges these SEAT models at exactly the same speed.
Not sure which power level your fuse box can handle? Browse all 11 kW EV chargers in our range, or ask our customer service. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is the safest route, and in many countries it is what your insurer expects.

Frequently asked questions about SEAT EV chargers
What charging power do most SEAT cars have?
That depends on the model. The fully electric el-Born charges 3-phase at 11 kW. The Mii Electric reaches 7.2 kW across two phases, and the plug-in Leon eHybrid charges at 3.7 kW. A charger never charges faster than your car allows, so check your model on its own page first.
Which plug does a SEAT use?
All three SEAT models use a type 2 plug, the standard charging connector in Europe. They therefore fit almost every modern EV charger straight away. Whether you need your own type 2 charging cable depends on your charger: models with a fixed cable need nothing extra, models with a socket use the same cable you take on the road.
