Peugeot e-3008 73 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?
The Peugeot e-3008 73 kWh charges at home at a maximum of 11 kW through a three-phase connection. That settles the choice straight away: a faster 22 kW unit gains you nothing, because this version's onboard charger stops at 11 kW. At that speed the battery fills comfortably overnight.

Which EV charger suits the Peugeot e-3008 73 kWh?
Because this e-3008 charges at 11 kW at home, a three-phase 11 kW charger is the sensible choice. A 22 kW unit is not wrong, it simply costs more without charging this car any faster.
From there, three features decide which model suits you:
A MID meter, a certified kWh meter that records every session accurately. That certified reading is what lets you account for home-charged electricity with an employer or lease company. In the Netherlands it is also the condition for the ERE scheme, worth up to 500 euro a year to private drivers, though that scheme applies in the Netherlands only. See our EV chargers with a MID meter.
Dynamic load balancing, where the charger adjusts its power to whatever your fuse box can spare, so your main fuse does not trip. See our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing.
App control, to schedule the e-3008's charging session during off-peak hours. See our EV chargers with an app.
For a straightforward setup at home, start with our home EV chargers. We always recommend having the connection fitted by a certified electrician, which is safer and matters for your insurance. We arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany; elsewhere we ship the charger to you and a local electrician fits it.
How long does the Peugeot e-3008 73 kWh take to charge?
Count on roughly 7 hours: the 73 kWh battery fills in a little over 6.5 hours at 11 kW, with some extra time for charging losses. Plug the car in around 23:00 and you drive off in the morning with a full battery and up to 527 kilometres of range. On the road you charge on DC at up to 160 kW, which tops the battery up substantially in a short stop.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Peugeot e-3008 73 kWh need a three-phase connection?
Yes, to charge at the full 11 kW at home you need a three-phase supply. If you only have single-phase, the charging speed drops to a maximum of 7.4 kW and a full charge takes longer. Always have the connection fitted by a certified electrician, which is safer and matters for your insurance.
What determines the charging speed of the Peugeot e-3008?
At home it is the onboard charger that sets the ceiling, and on this version it accepts 11 kW. Your supply comes second: with three phases you reach that 11 kW, with a single phase you stay at about 7.4 kW no matter what the charger can deliver. On the road the rules are different, because DC fast charging bypasses the onboard charger and runs up to 160 kW.
Can I charge the Peugeot e-3008 faster with a 22 kW charger?
Not at home. The onboard charger of this e-3008 73 kWh accepts a maximum of 11 kW AC, so even on a 22 kW unit the charging speed stays at 11 kW. An 11 kW charger is exactly what this car needs.
Why does a MID meter matter for the e-3008?
A certified MID kWh meter lets you record your home charging accurately. That matters as soon as a session has to be accounted for, for instance when you claim the electricity back from an employer or lease company. In the Netherlands it is also the requirement for the ERE scheme, worth up to 500 euro a year for private drivers, though that scheme applies in the Netherlands only.
