Jaguar I-Pace EV400 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Jaguar I-Pace EV400 charges at home at up to 11 kW across a three-phase connection. That figure decides which charger makes sense for you. A charger that can do more than 11 kW will not charge this Jaguar any faster. The car never draws more than its onboard charger allows. With a usable battery of 84.7 kWh, a fixed home charger is also far more practical than a portable one. The I-Pace comes in more versions, each with its own charging power. Our Jaguar I-Pace EV charger overview compares them, and every Jaguar EV charger page covers the rest of the range.
For the Jaguar I-Pace EV400 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger fits the Jaguar I-Pace EV400?
Because the I-Pace EV400 charges at 11 kW AC, an 11 kW charger is the sensible match. It fills the car overnight without you paying for power the car will not take. A 22 kW charger adds nothing here, since the car stays at 11 kW either way.
A full charge takes around seven and a half hours. That long session shapes what is worth having, and three features earn their place at this power level.
The first is dynamic load balancing. The charger measures how much power your home still has free. It turns itself down when the oven or the washing machine starts. Over a session that runs most of the night, that is the difference between charging quietly and tripping the main fuse. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing handle it automatically.
The second is app control. An EV charger with an app lets you start a session after midnight. You can also check on your phone whether the car is full, which helps when a charge runs this long.
The third is a built-in MID meter. It is a certified kWh meter that records exactly how much electricity your car takes. On a battery this size the amounts add up. Keeping your charging separate from the rest of your household use then helps. In our EV chargers with a MID meter the calibrated models start at 11 kW. This car reaches that level, so you give up no speed.
All three sit in our 11 kW range. Our EV chargers for home use cover the basics if you need none of them.
How long does the Jaguar I-Pace EV400 take to charge?
Work from the usable 84.7 kWh. Filling an almost empty battery on an 11 kW charger takes roughly 7.5 hours. Plug in during the evening and the car is full by morning. Does your home only have a single-phase supply? Then the I-Pace EV400 charges at 7.4 kW at most, and that calls for a single-phase charger delivering 32 amps. A full session then takes about 11.5 hours. On a 16 amp charger you would be left with 3.7 kW, so the charger you pick still matters.
The charger type on the car side is Type 2, the European standard. You only need a separate Type 2 charging cable for public charge points. At home you charge through the fixed connection of your own charger.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Jaguar I-Pace EV400 need three phases to reach 11 kW?
Yes. The car only reaches its maximum AC power of 11 kW on a three-phase connection of 3 x 16 amps. On a single-phase supply it charges at 7.4 kW at most. Your grid operator can tell you whether a three-phase connection is possible at your address.
Why does a MID meter matter for the I-Pace EV400?
A MID meter records your charging in a calibrated way, separately from your household consumption. A battery of 84.7 kWh is a substantial share of your bill. A MID meter shows you what a full charge really costs. It also gives you a reliable figure if those costs are paid back to you.
For the installation itself, we always recommend a qualified electrician. That is the safest way to connect it, and many insurers expect professional installation. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. We ship worldwide, but outside those three countries we do not install. You can check the options on our EV charger installation page.
