CUPRA Born 62 kWh EV charger: which one suits you best?
The CUPRA Born 62 kWh charges at home at a maximum of 11 kW through a Type 2 connection. This AC charging power determines which EV charger makes sense for the car. A more powerful charger will not charge this Born any faster. The usable battery capacity is 58 kWh and can be fully charged with an 11 kW EV charger in around six to six and a half hours. That fits comfortably into an overnight charging session. The Born is available in several versions, each with its own charging characteristics. Compare them in our overview of CUPRA Born EV chargers or view all CUPRA EV chargers.
For the CUPRA Born 62 kWh, we recommend a charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the CUPRA Born 62 kWh?
Because the CUPRA Born 62 kWh accepts a maximum of 11 kW AC, an 11 kW EV charger is the logical match. A 22 kW charger will not charge the car any faster, because the onboard charger limits the AC charging power to 11 kW.
A useful feature to consider is a built-in MID meter. This is a certified kWh meter that accurately records how much electricity is used for charging. It keeps the vehicle's charging consumption separate from the rest of your household electricity use.
Our EV chargers with a MID meter start at 11 kW, which matches the maximum AC charging power of this Born. If this is your first EV charger, our home EV chargers provide a useful overview of the available options. The Born uses a Type 2 connection. A separate Type 2 charging cable is required with a socketed home charger or at public Type 2 charge points without a fixed cable.
How long does the CUPRA Born 62 kWh take to charge?
Dividing 58 kWh by 11 kW gives a theoretical charging time of just over five hours. In practice, charging losses increase this to around six to six and a half hours for a full charge. On a single phase, the Born can charge at up to 7.4 kW, increasing the charging time to around nine hours.
On the road, the CUPRA Born 62 kWh supports DC fast charging at around 120 kW. Charging from 10 to 80% takes approximately 30 minutes.
Does the CUPRA Born 62 kWh need a three-phase connection?
To reach the full 11 kW charging power, yes. An 11 kW EV charger uses a three-phase electrical supply. Whether this is available depends on your country and your property's electrical installation. Have a qualified electrician check whether your installation is suitable before fitting the charger.
Single-phase charging is also possible, with up to 7.4 kW available in a suitable installation. This is sufficient for many everyday charging situations, although a full charge takes longer than with an 11 kW three-phase connection.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
A MID meter is useful if you want to measure your vehicle's charging consumption accurately and separately from the rest of your household electricity use. The certified kWh meter shows exactly how many kilowatt-hours are delivered through the charging point.
Does the CUPRA Born 62 kWh charge faster with a 22 kW charger?
No. The CUPRA Born 62 kWh accepts a maximum of 11 kW AC. Even when connected to a 22 kW EV charger, the car will therefore charge at no more than 11 kW. An 11 kW EV charger is sufficient for this model.
Which plug does the CUPRA Born 62 kWh have?
The CUPRA Born 62 kWh has a Type 2 connection for AC charging. For DC fast charging, the vehicle uses a CCS connection.
