Which charging cable fits a Toyota Prius?
Your Prius Plug-In has a Type 1 connector at the and charges at home on 1 phase and 14 amps: up to 3.3 kW. A Type 1 charging cable of 3.3 kW gets the most out of your car. As a plug-in hybrid, your Prius has a combustion engine plus a smaller battery and an on-board charger of up to 3.3 kW. A more powerful charging station or cable won't charge it any faster.
At 3.3 kW you charge the 3.4 kWh battery from empty to full in about 1.0 hours. With a portable charger on a regular socket it takes a lot longer, handy if you don't have a charging station.
How we calculate it: the 3.4 kWh battery divided by 3.3 kW of charging power is about 1.0 hours. In practice it takes a little longer, because the last few percent charge more slowly and some energy is lost while charging.
