The Citroen e-Dispatch takes a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Every version has a Type 2 inlet and a 7.4 kW onboard charger as standard, and 7.4 kW is the ceiling of a single phase UK supply, so one cable covers the whole range.
What changes is the battery. The 50 kWh van holds 46.3 kWh usable and Citroen quotes about 7 hours 30 minutes for a full charge at 7.4 kW. The 75 kWh van holds 68 kWh usable and wants about 11 hours 20 minutes from the same supply. Same cable, same connector, nearly four hours between them, so establish which van you have before building an overnight schedule.
An 11 kW three phase charger was a paid option. Where a depot or yard has three phase power, our 32A three phase cable brings those figures down to roughly 4 hours 45 minutes for the 50 kWh and about 7 hours for the 75 kWh. On a single phase supply the option changes nothing, and neither does the three phase cable.
Both batteries also support CCS rapid charging at up to 100 kW. That is a DC connection built into the van and uses the charge point's own tethered lead. The cable on this page is for AC charging at home, at work and at public posts.
The 16A cable is capped at 3.7 kW: about 14 hours 15 minutes for the 50 kWh van and around 20 hours 45 minutes for the 75 kWh. A Type 2 to 3 pin lead runs at 2.3 kW and needs roughly 22 hours 45 minutes or 33 hours 30 minutes. For a van that has to work in the morning, neither is a plan.
Length matters more with a van than a car. Panel vans get parked where they fit rather than where it suits, and often face outwards ready for loading. 10m is the sensible default for yards and shared parking. 5m is enough when the van always returns to one bay beside the charger.
The same vehicle wears other badges, including Peugeot e-Expert and Vauxhall Vivaro-e, and it is sold as Jumpy in Europe. All use Type 2 with the same 7.4 kW standard charger, so this cable suits them as well. BlueHDi diesel Dispatch vans have no charging port.
Every cable includes a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67.

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A 32A Type 2 to Type 2. The van charges at 7.4 kW AC as standard, which is also the most a single phase UK supply delivers, so this cable runs it at full speed. The 50 kWh version fills in about 7 hours 30 minutes and the 75 kWh in about 11 hours 20 minutes.
It depends which battery you have. Citroen quotes about 7 hours 30 minutes for the 46.3 kWh usable 50 kWh van on a 7.4 kW supply, and about 11 hours 20 minutes for the 68 kWh usable 75 kWh version. With three phase power and the 11 kW option, those fall to roughly 4 hours 45 minutes and 7 hours.
Only where your site has three phase power. The 11 kW charger was a paid option and gains nothing on a single phase supply. Where three phase exists it saves a 50 kWh van around two hours 45 minutes per full charge, and a 75 kWh van more than four hours, which adds up across a fleet.
The badge tells you, because Citroen sells them plainly as 50 kWh and 75 kWh. Usable capacity is 46.3 kWh and 68 kWh respectively. Both went on sale in 2020, both use Type 2, and both charge at 7.4 kW as standard. Only the hours on the clock differ, by nearly four.
Not for a working van. At 2.3 kW it needs about 22 hours 45 minutes for the 50 kWh and around 33 hours 30 minutes for the 75 kWh, which no overnight stop will cover. Carry one as a backup for an unplanned night away from your charger. It is IP67 rated.
10m suits most operators. Panel vans get parked where they fit rather than where the charger is, and are often left facing outwards ready for loading. 5m is enough only when the van comes back to the same bay beside the wallbox every night. Charging speed is identical either way.

The e-Dispatch is Type 2 on every version, with a 7.4 kW onboard charger as standard and an 11 kW three-phase charger as a paid option. The only thing you need to establish is which battery you have, because the 50 kWh and 75 kWh take the same cable but very different amounts of time. Citroen's own figures make the point: on 7.4 kW the 50 kWh takes about 7 hours 30 minutes and the 75 kWh about 11 hours 20 minutes. If your depot has three-phase power, the 11 kW option cuts those to roughly 4 hours 45 minutes and 7 hours. On a single-phase supply it changes nothing. Note the van is called Jumpy in Europe and Expert at Peugeot, but the UK badge is Dispatch.
| Badge | Years | Battery | Connector | Max AC charge speed | Cable we recommend |

How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
Accessory Add-Ons
We offer a range of products to help store and transport your charging cable. Choose from the accessories below:
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles (EVs) with a Type 2 connector to charging points is also equipped with a Type 2 socket. It supports faster charging speeds and is commonly used across Europe for EVs with this standard connection.
This cable allows electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket to charge from a standard UK 3-pin domestic outlet. It provides a slower charge but is useful for home or emergency charging when dedicated charging stations aren't available.
A cable used to extend the reach of a Type 2 charging cable. It's helpful when the existing cable is too short to connect an electric vehicle to the charging point, providing more flexibility in parking.
A fixed charging cable attached to a charging point, designed for electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket. The tethered design eliminates the need to carry a separate cable, offering convenience for regular charging at home or work.
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles with a Type 1 socket to charging points equipped with a Type 2 outlet. This allows EVs with the older Type 1 standard to use more modern charging infrastructure.
This cable enables electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector to charge from a standard UK 3-pin household outlet. It's suitable for slower charging at home when dedicated EV charging points aren't accessible.
A 5M charging cable is the shortest length that we offer. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
A 10M charging cable is the most popular length. It allows you to have enough flexibility whilst still being easy enough to move. This is a great option if you cannot park close to the electricity supply.
A 15M charging cable is a great choice if you need some extra flexibility, i.e. get past another car or reach the other end of a driveway. The length of the cable does not affect the charging speed.
A 20M charging cable is the longest cable that we currently offer. 20M reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. If you have two electric cars or are looking to purchase another it might be worth considering a faster charging cable as this could limit charge speeds moving forward.
A 32amp charging cable will be able to charge at 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
