Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?
The Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh leaves the factory with a 7.4 kW single-phase onboard charger. That onboard charger is the part inside the car that decides how fast it can take AC power at home. Toyota offers an 11 kW three-phase charger as a paid option, so check your own build before you buy anything. With the standard car a 7.4 kW EV charger already delivers the full speed. Other Toyota models charge at different powers, which you can compare in our Toyota EV charger overview.
For the Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.

Choosing an EV charger for the Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh
A single-phase 32 A charger of 7.4 kW matches the standard Proace Verso exactly. The car takes everything that charger offers, and a full battery takes about 11 hours. Buying more power does not shorten that, and in one common case it makes things worse.
An 11 kW charger supplies 16 A per phase. A car that can only charge on one phase therefore pulls 3.7 kW from it, not 11 kW. For the standard Proace Verso that turns an 11-hour charge into a 22-hour charge. Does your car have the optional three-phase charger? Then it uses all three phases. Our 11 kW EV chargers bring a full battery back in about 7.5 hours.
Two features earn their place on this van. Load balancing means the charger watches what the rest of your home is drawing. It turns the charging power down when the house needs it. Over an 11-hour charge at 32 A that keeps your main fuse from tripping. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing do that by themselves. App control is the second one. A long charge gives you room to move it into the cheapest hours. You set that on our EV chargers with an app.
A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter built into the charger. It shows exactly how much electricity went into the car at home. That is useful for anyone. You see what home charging actually costs you. Settling it with an employer or lease company is one use among others. Our 7.4 kW range does not offer one, though: every charger with a calibrated meter is three-phase, and 7.4 kW is single-phase.
The real choice of EV chargers with a MID meter sits in our 22 kW EV chargers. Those supply 32 A per phase, so the Proace Verso keeps its full 7.4 kW and its 11-hour charging time. You do need a three-phase connection at home for one.
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. Rules for who may do that work differ per country, so check what applies where you live. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Most Proace Verso owners charge at home on the driveway. Our home EV chargers are the models built for that.
Charging times for the Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh
Charging time starts as the useable battery divided by the charging power. The real figures run roughly 15 to 20 percent higher. Some energy is lost as heat on the way into the battery. With a useable 68 kWh battery that gives these times:
- On a 7.4 kW charger, single-phase 32 A: about 11 hours for a full battery. This is the standard car at full speed.
- On an 11 kW charger, three-phase 16 A per phase: about 7.5 hours, but only with the optional three-phase onboard charger. Without that option the car takes 3.7 kW here and needs about 22 hours.
- On a 3.7 kW charger, single-phase 16 A: about 22 hours. Worth avoiding on a battery this size.
Eleven hours is a long night, so plan a charge before the battery runs low rather than after. The Proace Verso uses a type 2 port, like most modern chargers. At home you charge through the cable or socket on the charger itself. You only need a separate type 2 charging cable for public charge points.
Other versions of the Toyota Proace
Wallbox Discounter also has charging advice for the other version of the Toyota Proace:
- Toyota Proace 50 kWh City Verso / Verso / Shuttle, with a smaller battery and a shorter charging time.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Toyota Proace Verso/Shuttle 75 kWh need a three-phase connection?
No, and that is the useful part. The standard onboard charger is single-phase, so a 32 A single-phase connection already gives you the full 7.4 kW. Three phases only help if your car carries the optional 11 kW charger. An 11 kW charger supplies 16 A per phase. Without the option the car therefore draws just 3.7 kW from it.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
That depends on how precisely you want to track what you charge at home. A MID meter records your home charging to the kilowatt-hour. That helps for your own cost overview and for any claim you file with an employer. Our 7.4 kW models do not have one, because every charger with a calibrated meter is three-phase. Does that meter matter more to you than the simpler connection? Then look at the 22 kW range. There the Proace Verso still charges at its full 7.4 kW.
