Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid EV charger: Which one is the best fit?
The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid with a gross battery capacity of 9.4 kWh and an onboard charger rated at approximately 3.6 kW. This allows you to fully charge the Panamera at home in around 2.5 to 3 hours using an EV charger that supplies 16 amps. You do not need a particularly powerful charger for this car, although a safe and future-proof charging solution can still be a sensible investment. To learn more about the other versions, view our overview of all Porsche EV chargers.
For the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, we recommend an EV charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger is suitable for the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid?
Because the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid charges at no more than approximately 3.6 kW, it cannot use the full capacity of a modern 11 kW EV charger. A fixed charger is nevertheless a sensible choice because it is designed for regular vehicle charging and can also be used for a future electric car with a higher AC charging capacity. Choose a charger with an integrated MID meter when the charged kilowatt-hours must be reimbursed by an employer or leasing company. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for ERE registration. The ERE scheme applies exclusively in the Netherlands.
| Situation | Recommended EV charger | MID meter | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard home charging | Easee Charge Up 22 kW | No | A compact and intelligent EV charger with a Type 2 socket. It automatically limits its power to the approximately 3.6 kW the Panamera can accept and remains suitable for a future electric car. |
| Business use or ERE registration in the Netherlands | Zaptec Go 2 22 kW | Yes | The integrated MID meter accurately records the charged kilowatt-hours. This makes the charger suitable for employer or leasing-company reimbursement and, exclusively in the Netherlands, ERE registration. |
| Budget-friendly choice | Besen 11 kW | No | An affordable EV charger with a fixed Type 2 charging cable. It charges the Panamera at its maximum AC power but does not have an integrated MID meter. |

How long does it take to charge the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid?
With a gross battery capacity of 9.4 kWh and a maximum AC charging power of approximately 3.6 kW, a complete charging session takes around 2.5 to 3 hours in practice. A more powerful EV charger will not reduce this time because the vehicle’s onboard charger limits the maximum power. Connect the car in the evening and its battery will therefore be fully charged long before the following morning. The Panamera S E-Hybrid has a Type 2 connection. When using an EV charger or public charging station with a socket, you need a suitable Type 2 charging cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid require a three-phase EV charger?
No. This version charges on a single phase at a maximum of approximately 3.6 kW. A single-phase 16-amp connection is therefore sufficient to use its maximum charging capacity. A three-phase 11 or 22 kW EV charger can also be used and may be sensible if you expect to switch to a fully electric car with a higher charging capacity later.
Why is a MID meter important for this car?
A MID-certified kWh meter accurately and verifiably records charging consumption. This is particularly important when the charged kilowatt-hours are reimbursed by an employer or leasing company or accounted for as business charging costs. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for ERE registration. The ERE scheme applies exclusively in the Netherlands. We also recommend having the charger installed by a certified electrician so that the connection is safe and complies with the applicable standards.
