MAN EV charger: which model fits your van?
MAN builds electric vans, so your charger has to match what the van can take. The electric MAN charges on alternating current (AC) at a maximum of 7.2 kW. How the van draws that power decides which charger makes sense. Where the van parks matters too, because a home driveway and a company yard ask different things. At Wallbox Discounter you will find a separate page per MAN model with concrete advice.

The right EV charger for your MAN
The MAN eTGE charges through a type 2 port at up to 7.2 kW. The available specifications point to an onboard charger that spreads that power over two phases. A single-phase charger then does not use the onboard charger fully, so a three-phase charger is the safer choice.
An 11 kW charger is three-phase and delivers 16 A per phase. That is enough for the eTGE to reach its full 7.2 kW. You do need a three-phase supply at the location for it.
Some drivers want a charger with a MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter, and it logs exactly how much electricity went into the vehicle. At 11 kW the choice with such a meter is thin. The wider range sits with the 22 kW EV chargers. A 22 kW charger delivers 32 A per phase, so the eTGE keeps its full 7.2 kW there as well. Both powers ask for a three-phase connection.
The eTGE has a type 2 port, like most modern chargers. A matching type 2 charging cable is only needed if you also charge the van somewhere other than your own charger.
Not sure about your fuse box? We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, which is simply the safe way to do it. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Shipping runs worldwide, installation does not.
For the MAN eTGE we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.
Do you charge more than one vehicle at the same site? Dynamic load balancing spreads the available power across your connection, so the fuses hold. A charger with an app lets you set charging times and see what each session used. If you are starting from scratch, our home EV chargers are the simplest place to begin.

Frequently asked questions about MAN EV chargers
What charging power does an electric MAN have?
The MAN eTGE charges on alternating current at up to 7.2 kW through a type 2 port. The available specifications point to an onboard charger that spreads that power over two phases. A three-phase 11 kW charger delivers 16 A per phase, which is enough for the full 7.2 kW. A 22 kW charger reaches that figure as well. On a single-phase charger the van most likely does not use the onboard charger fully.
Why does a MID meter matter for my MAN EV charger?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter built into the charger. It records exactly how much electricity went into the vehicle, apart from the rest of the building. That helps if you settle mileage with an employer or a leasing company. It helps just as much if you simply want to know what charging at home costs you. In our range that certified meter starts at 11 kW. Most of the choice sits with the EV chargers with a MID meter at 22 kW.
