For a DS 7 Crossback E-Tense, buy the 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. It carries 7.4 kW, which covers every charger rating quoted for this car, so you cannot end up with a lead that holds the car back.
That point needs explaining, because the published figures disagree. DS UK's own material quotes 7.4 kW and a full charge in about one hour 45 minutes. An earlier DS release for the 4x4 300 says 6.6 kW. Some charging guides list 3.6 kW. We would rather show you the disagreement than pick a number and hope you never check. A 32A lead satisfies all three ratings and costs little more than the 16A one, which would halve the speed of a 7.4 kW car.
Be clear on what the car is, too. The E-Tense is a plug-in hybrid, not an electric car. It pairs a petrol engine with a small battery and a Type 2 socket, and no version has rapid charging of any kind. A wallbox or a three pin socket are your only two ways of putting energy in, which makes the cable a more important purchase here than on a car with other options.
Two generations matter. The DS 7 Crossback E-Tense ran from 2019 to 2022, first as the 4x4 300 and later as the front wheel drive 225, both with a 13.2 kWh gross battery. From late 2022 DS dropped the Crossback name, and the facelifted E-Tense 225 and 4x4 360 carry 14.2 kWh. Both take exactly the same cable, so the split only changes how long you wait.
The BlueHDi diesel and PureTech petrol versions have no charging port at all. If there is no socket on your car, no cable will help.
For length, 5m is plenty when the car sits next to the wallbox. Take 10m if you park nose first, share a post at work, or your charge point is on the far wall of a garage. Cables are IP55 rated, or IP67 on the 3 pin version, CE certified, and carry a 2 year manufacturer's warranty with free next working day UK delivery.
DS 7 Crossback E-Tense, 2019 to 2022, 13.2 kWh gross
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin (5m, 10m) | 2.3 kW | 6h30m | Fallback where no wallbox exists. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A (5m, 10m) | 3.7 kW | 4h00m | Caps the car well below its rating. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A (5m, 10m) | 7.4 kW per DS, 6.6 kW on the 4x4 300 | 1h45m per DS, 2h15m at 6.6 kW | Best fit whichever charger is fitted. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (5m, 10m) | 7.4 kW, capped by the car | 1h45m | Adds nothing on this car. |
DS 7 E-Tense facelift, late 2022 onwards, 14.2 kWh gross
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin (5m, 10m) | 2.3 kW | 7h00m | Overnight only. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A (5m, 10m) | 3.7 kW | 4h15m | Twice the wait for a small saving. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A (5m, 10m) | 7.4 kW per DS UK | About 2h00m per DS | Best fit for the facelift car. |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase (5m, 10m) | 7.4 kW, capped by the car | About 2h00m | No faster than the single phase lead. |
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and we would choose the 32A version at 7.4 kW. DS quotes 7.4 kW for the E-Tense, with 6.6 kW cited for the original 4x4 300, and a 32A lead handles either. It fills the 13.2 kWh pre-facelift battery in about 1h45m.
No. It is a plug-in hybrid, with a petrol engine alongside a 13.2 kWh battery on 2019 to 2022 cars and 14.2 kWh after the late 2022 facelift. It uses a Type 2 socket for AC charging and has no rapid charging on any version, so a wallbox or a three pin socket does the work.
DS quotes about 1h45m for the 13.2 kWh cars and around 2h00m for the 14.2 kWh facelift, both on a 7.4 kW supply through a 32A cable. Drop to the 16A lead at 3.7 kW and expect 4h00m or 4h15m. A three pin socket at 2.3 kW needs 6h30m to 7h00m.
DS UK publishes 7.4 kW. An earlier release for the 4x4 300 quotes 6.6 kW, and several charging guides list 3.6 kW, so the figure is genuinely disputed. Our 32A cable delivers up to 7.4 kW, so whichever onboard charger your car has, the cable is never the limiting part.
No. The BlueHDi diesel and PureTech petrol DS 7 and DS 7 Crossback have no charging port, so there is nothing for a cable to plug into. Only the E-Tense plug-in hybrid, from 2019 onwards, carries the Type 2 socket. Check for E-Tense badging before you order.
5m reaches comfortably when the wallbox is within a couple of metres of where the DS 7 parks. Step up to 10m if the charge point sits behind the car, on the opposite side of a garage, or is shared with a neighbour. Both lengths are available in 16A and 32A.
