Renault Kangoo ZE Charging Cable

Quick recommendation

Three electric Kangoos have been sold in the UK and they do not all take the same cable, so check the year on your V5 before ordering.

The Kangoo Z.E. 33, built from 2017 to 2021, is the van this page is written for. It uses a Type 2 inlet with a 7.4 kW onboard charger, so a Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A is what you want. Its 31 kWh usable battery goes from flat to full in about 4 hours 45 minutes, so a van back at the yard at six in the evening is ready long before the first job.

The current Kangoo E-Tech, from 2022, is also Type 2 but carries a 22 kW three phase charger and a 45 kWh usable battery. On a single phase supply, which is what almost every house and small unit has, you get 7.4 kW and about 6 hours 45 minutes. If your depot genuinely has three phase power, the 22kW cable is one of the few real upgrades on the market: the same battery fills in roughly 2 hours 15 minutes, which turns a lunch break into a useful charge.

The older Kangoo Z.E. of 2011 to 2017 is the exception. It uses a Type 1 socket and none of the cables on this page will plug into it. You need a Type 1 to Type 2 cable, which is a separate product. Neither of the two older vans has any rapid charging, so AC is all you have.

Length matters more on a van than on a car. A Kangoo reversed against a wall, parked behind another vehicle, or sharing a yard post with a colleague can easily need more than five metres. 10m is the safe choice for depot and kerbside work, while 5m is fine if the van always sits nose in beside its own charge point. We also stock 15m and 20m for larger sites, and the longer leads coil into the load bay without eating shelf space.

Diesel and petrol Kangoos have no charging port and need nothing from us.

Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and our 3 pin cables are IP67. Both carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, and every order ships with same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.

Renault Kangoo Charging Cable FAQs

Which cable fits a Renault Kangoo Z.E. 33 van?

A Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A. The Z.E. 33, sold from 2017 to 2021, has a 7.4 kW onboard charger and a 31 kWh usable battery, so a 32A lead takes it from empty to full in about 4 hours 45 minutes. A 16A cable would nearly double that for no good reason.

Will this cable fit a 2015 Kangoo Z.E.?

No. Kangoos built between 2011 and 2017 use a Type 1 socket, and every cable on this page ends in a Type 2 plug. You need a Type 1 to Type 2 cable, which we list as a separate product. Those vans charge at 3.7 kW, hold 22 kWh, and have no rapid charging at all.

Can I charge a Kangoo overnight at the depot?

Comfortably. A Z.E. 33 on a 32A cable is full in roughly 4 hours 45 minutes, and a Kangoo E-Tech on a single phase supply takes about 6 hours 45 minutes. Both fit inside a normal overnight stand, so vans plugged in at five in the afternoon are ready for a first job.

Is a three phase cable worth it for a Kangoo E-Tech?

Yes, if the depot has three phase power. The E-Tech is one of very few vans with a 22 kW onboard charger, and on a three phase post its 45 kWh battery goes from empty to full in around 2 hours 15 minutes rather than 6 hours 45 minutes. On a single phase supply it changes nothing.

What length cable should I buy for a yard?

10m for most working vans. A shared yard post is rarely where you want to park, and reversing against a wall or sitting behind another vehicle eats the slack fast. 5m is enough only when the van always parks nose in beside its own charge point. We stock 15m and 20m for larger sites.

Does the diesel Kangoo need a charging cable?

No. Petrol and diesel Kangoos of any year have no charging port, so nothing here will connect to them. Only the Z.E., the Z.E. 33 and the E-Tech electric vans plug in. If you cannot find a charging flap on the front or the wing of your van, it is not an electric model.
