Peugeot Partner Electric EV charger: which one suits you best?
The Peugeot Partner Electric charges at home with a maximum of 3.7 kW across a single phase. That speed shapes your choice. A heavier charger will not fill this van any faster, but it does leave room for a quicker EV later on. One feature is worth a look whatever you pick: a MID meter, the certified kWh meter that measures your charging separately. Want to compare this van with another model? See our overview of EV chargers for Peugeot models.
For the Partner Electric we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Peugeot Partner Electric?
The Partner Electric accepts 3.7 kW at home and no more. An 11 kW charger therefore adds no speed for this van today. It is still the sensible buy if a faster electric vehicle is coming. The charger is already on the wall and the wiring is done once instead of twice.
The MID meter is worth checking whatever the power rating. It shows exactly what charging the van costs, separate from the rest of your electricity use. That works the same way for a private driver and for a company that reimburses charging. Our chargers with a MID meter include 11 kW models, so the meter costs you no charging speed.
The second feature to look at is dynamic load balancing. The van stays plugged in for more than five hours, often alongside other appliances. Load balancing means the charger measures how much power is free. It then adjusts the charging speed itself. Our home EV chargers gather the models that suit a private driveway or a yard.
How long does the Peugeot Partner Electric take to charge?
The useable battery holds 20.5 kWh and the van charges at 3.7 kW. An empty battery is full again in roughly 5.5 hours, which is 20.5 kWh divided by 3.7 kW. Plug the Partner Electric in during the evening and it is ready for the next run in the morning. A charger with more power does not shorten that time, because the van sets the ceiling.
The Partner Electric uses a Type 1 connection, which is rare on modern chargers. Pick a charger with a Type 2 socket and connect the van with a Type 1 to Type 2 charging cable. A charger with a fixed cable does not fit here, because that cable always ends in a Type 2 plug.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Peugeot Partner Electric need a three-phase connection?
No. The Partner Electric charges at 3.7 kW on an ordinary single-phase 16 A connection. Any standard domestic supply can handle that. A three-phase connection only becomes interesting once you want to charge a car that accepts 11 kW or more.
Why does a MID meter matter for the Partner Electric?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. It records exactly how much electricity goes into the van, separate from your other consumption. That gives you a figure you can rely on when you work out what a kilometre actually costs.
Can I charge the Partner Electric with a portable charger?
Yes, as long as you use a 16 A supply. On that current the van reaches its full 3.7 kW, so the difference with a fixed charger is small. On an ordinary household socket the power is lower and charging takes considerably longer. Use a properly protected supply either way, since 16 A is more than a normal household appliance draws. We install chargers in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany, and in Germany that runs through a free quotation. See our installation options for what applies to you.
