Every electric DS 3 uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable to buy is a Type 2 to Type 2 32A. At a British house that pulls the full 7.4 kW, which is as much as a single phase supply will ever hand over. One cable covers the whole run of the car, whatever it says on the boot lid.
Two things confuse people shopping for this one. The first is the name. DS dropped Crossback from the badge at the 2023 facelift, so the same car is a DS 3 Crossback E-Tense before that point and a plain DS 3 E-Tense afterwards. Nothing about the charging socket changed with the name.
The second is the onboard charger, and this is the real generation split. The original 50 kWh car, built from 2020 to 2022 with 46.3 kWh usable and 136hp, came with a 7.4 kW charger as standard and an 11 kW unit as a cost option. The 2023 facelift moved to a 54 kWh pack, 50.8 kWh usable and 156hp, with the 11 kW charger fitted as standard. That difference only shows up on three phase power. Plug either car into a home wallbox and both charge at 7.4 kW, because your house cannot supply more.
What that means in practice: the 46.3 kWh car goes from empty to full in about seven hours on a 32A cable, and the 50.8 kWh facelift in about seven and three quarters. Both are comfortable overnight jobs. Step down to a 16A cable and those stretch past fourteen and fifteen hours, which is why we do not recommend one unless your supply is genuinely limited to 16A.
The three phase 32A cable only earns its place if you regularly use a three phase post at work or in a car park, where an 11 kW car cuts the facelift down to around five and a quarter hours. Both cars also carry a CCS socket for rapid charging, rated at 101 kW on the early car and 107 kW on the facelift, and rapid units come with their own lead attached.
Petrol and diesel DS 3 models have no charging port at all, and there has never been a plug-in hybrid version.
Pick 5m for a close wallbox, 10m for reach. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55, the Type 2 to 3 Pin is IP67, and all come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.

A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in 32A. Every electric DS 3 has a Type 2 socket, and 32A carries 7.4 kW, the maximum a UK home supply can deliver. That fills the 46.3 kWh early car in about seven hours and the 50.8 kWh facelift in about seven and three quarter hours.
Only if you charge on three phase power away from home. The facelift takes 11 kW as standard and the earlier car needed the optional charger to do the same, cutting a full charge to roughly 5 hours 15 minutes or 4 hours 45 minutes. On a home supply both cars sit at 7.4 kW.
On a 7.4 kW wallbox, about 7 hours for the 46.3 kWh usable car built to 2022 and about 7 hours 45 minutes for the 50.8 kWh version from 2023. A 16A cable pushes those to roughly 14 hours 15 minutes and 15 hours 30 minutes, so it is a poor swap.
Yes, the badge simply lost a word. Cars from 2020 to 2022 are DS 3 Crossback E-Tense with a 50 kWh pack, and the 2023 facelift became DS 3 E-Tense with 54 kWh and 156hp. The Type 2 socket is unchanged across both, so one cable fits whichever you own.
No. The PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel DS 3 and DS 3 Crossback have no charging port and no traction battery, so nothing here will connect to them. There has never been a plug-in hybrid DS 3 either. Only the E-Tense badge takes a cable.
Five metres is fine when the wallbox is fitted within reach of your usual parking spot. Ten metres covers awkward driveways, a garage wall on the far side, or public posts where you take whichever bay is free. Longer 15 metre and 20 metre 32A cables are listed too.
