Charge your E-TENSE vehicle
Recharge daily, drive 100% electric
Charging is an essential step to take full advantage of your rechargeable electric or hybrid vehicle. When you are not using your vehicle, it takes just a few seconds to plug it in and charge it. We recommend that you charge your plug-in hybrid vehicle every day in order to enjoy sufficient 100% electric range to complete the majority of daily trips.

Types of charging
How to charge your vehicle
You can charge your electric vehicle or hybrid car at a public charging point or a private charging point. With a private charging point, you can charge your vehicle at your workplace or directly at home. You have several options for recharging your E-TENSE, each of which influences the charging time of your vehicle. With its many advantages, such as its charging speed and its safety, the DS Wall Box is the charging solution that we favour. Our electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are compatible with these charging methods.

Reinforced Grip
The installation of a reinforced plug allows you, thanks to the secure box delivering more power, to considerably improve the charging speed of your DS 3 E-TENSE. You can also recharge your daily 50 km in 2h30 with a reinforced Mode 2 cable.
Domestic outlet
Our E-TENSE models can easily be recharged from a standard household outlet, thanks to the standard Mode 2 cable supplied with the purchase. This troubleshooting solution allows you to reach 100 km of charge in less than 10 hours for DS 3 E-TENSE.
The electric autonomy of these vehicles being lower than that of a 100% electric vehicle, the charging times are consequently reduced. Allow 2h for a full recharge of New DS 7 E-TENSE on an 7.4kW installation with a DS Wall Box.

Learn more about charging times
Charging your electric vehicle requires two types of available energy: alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Alternating current, distributed by most public networks, allows you to charge your battery at home or Charging time then depends on the power (kW) of the charging cables combined with the capacity of the on-board charger in your DS.
Generally accessible on motorway service areas, other terminals convert alternating current into direct current. During a long journey, they allow you to benefit from rapid and optimized recharging of your battery. Please note, they are only compatible with 100% electric vehicles
