Why does your Golf charge at up to 3.6 kW?
Besides the combustion engine, your Golf has a smaller battery and an on-board charger of 3.6 kW. That charger sets your maximum charging speed: a more powerful charging station or cable won't make it faster.
- A 3.6 kW charging cable is enough: a heavier one doesn't charge any faster.
- Any charging station works, including 11 or 22 kW ones.
- That's why you only see products here that fit your Golf.

Which charging cable fits a Volkswagen Golf?
Your Golf 1.4 TSI eHybrid has a Type 2 connector at the front left and charges at home on 1 phase and 16 amps: up to 3.6 kW. A Type 2 charging cable of 3.6 kW gets the most out of your car. As a plug-in hybrid, your Golf has a combustion engine plus a smaller battery and an on-board charger of up to 3.6 kW. A more powerful charging station or cable won't charge it any faster.
At 3.6 kW you charge the 10.4 kWh battery from empty to full in about 2.9 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 10.4 kWh battery divided by 3.6 kW of charging power is about 2.9 hours. In practice it takes a little longer, because the last few percent charge more slowly and some energy is lost while charging.
