The best charger for the Farizon V7E is a 22kW (32A) three-phase wall charger — it delivers the van’s full 11kW AC rate for a full charge in around 6 hours. Running it from home? Most homes have single phase, so a 7kW wall charger still fully charges the battery overnight (~9 hours). For public AC charging you’ll need a 22kW-rated Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Full details below.
Full charge
10–100% • ~9 hrs on a 7kW single-phase charger
DC fast charging
CCS2 • up to 120kW
About the Farizon V7E
Running a Farizon V7E in your fleet, or as a courier? The V7E is a 100% electric cargo van with a 66.67kWh battery delivering up to 329km of WLTP range, 7m³ of cargo space and a 1,243kg payload.
Home and depot charging is via an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, and the V7E also supports 120kW DC fast charging (20–80% in around 30 minutes). It comes with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) as standard, so you can run tools and equipment straight off the battery, on-site.

Keep your fleet on the road — the V7E charges at up to 11kW on AC via its three-phase onboard charger, a real advantage for fleet operators. A full charge takes around 6 hours from 10% to 100% — easily done overnight or during a depot changeover.
Three-phase depots
Delivers the V7E’s full 11kW rate — the right choice if you have three-phase power and want minimum downtime. The wallbox is also future-proofed for the rest of your fleet.
Single-phase homes
Most homes only have single phase, so a 7kW charger is ideal in this situation — slower, but reliable, and it will still fully charge the battery overnight.
Got solar at the depot
If your depot or home has solar, a smart charger that diverts excess solar can offset daytime charging costs between runs.
Estimates assume charging from 10% to 100% with typical wall-to-battery efficiency. The V7E’s onboard charger caps AC charging at 11kW (with 3 phase charging).
| Home / depot charging setup | Approx. power | Est. time (10% → 100%) |
|---|---|---|
| Included (8A) / standard socket | ~1.8kW | ~33 hours |
| 10A Type 2 plug-in charger | ~2.3kW | ~26 hours |
| 16A charger (caravan / commando style) | ~3.7kW | ~16 hours |
| 7kW wall charger (32A single-phase) | 6.6kW | ~9 hours |
| 22kW wall charger (with 3 phase charging, full 11kW to van) | 11kW | ~6 hours — fastest option |

As a full EV, the V7E supports both Type 2 AC and CCS2 DC fast charging, so you have the full range of public charging options available between jobs or on longer runs.
The V7E can DC fast charge at up to 120kW, with a quoted 20–80% session in approximately 30 minutes on a compatible rapid charger (conditions apply). That’s genuinely useful between deliveries — top up during a stop and keep the van earning.
AC public chargers are slower, making them ideal when the van is parked for a while — at a depot, distribution centre or job site. Some have a Type 2 cable already attached, while others are “bring-your-own-cable”. Because the V7E charges at up to 11kW on AC, a 22kW-rated cable lets it draw its full rate from any three-phase Type 2 post.

We recommend our Type 2 to Type 2 cable (22kW-rated, three-phase) — it lets the V7E draw its full 11kW rate from any three-phase AC post, and is fully backwards compatible with single-phase 7kW chargers too. A 5m length suits most depot, distribution centre and public AC bays.
Power on the job
The V7E comes with Vehicle-to-Load as standard, allowing you to run tools, equipment or devices directly from the van’s battery on-site — handy for trades, deliveries, or as backup power during an outage. With a 66.67kWh battery on board, there’s plenty of capacity to spare on a long workday. We sell the adapter here.
A 22kW (32A) three-phase wall charger is the best match for the V7E. The van’s onboard AC charger caps at 11kW three-phase, so a 22kW wallbox delivers the V7E’s full charging speed — a full charge in around 6 hours — and future-proofs your depot for the rest of your fleet. Most homes have single phase, so the single-phase Smart EV wall charger is ideal for home use.
Yes — the V7E’s onboard charger accepts up to 11kW on AC, which requires a three-phase supply to reach. On a standard single-phase connection, a 7kW / 32A wall charger will still charge the van reliably overnight, just at a lower rate (around 9 hours for a full charge instead of 6).
The V7E has a 66.67kWh battery delivering up to 329km of WLTP range. Real-world range will vary with load, driving style and conditions, but it comfortably covers most urban delivery and trade routes on a single charge.
Yes — however a full 10–100% charge takes around 33 hours, so a standard socket is best as an occasional backup rather than your main charging method. A 22kW three-phase wall charger (or 7kW single-phase if three-phase isn’t available) is strongly recommended for fleet use.
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable rated to 22kW is the right choice for the V7E — it lets the van draw its full 11kW from three-phase AC posts, while still working fine on single-phase 7kW chargers. We suggest a 5m length for depot and public AC bays.
Yes. On a compatible DC rapid charger (120kW or higher), the V7E charges from 20–80% in approximately 30 minutes under typical conditions (conditions apply). That makes it easy to top up between deliveries or on longer regional runs.
Yes — V2L comes standard on the V7E, so you can run tools, equipment or devices directly from the van’s battery. Handy for trades, job sites, deliveries or emergency backup power. We sell the adapter here.
Yes — for multi-vehicle depots, look at a charger with dynamic load balancing so your total draw stays within your supply limit, and consider how many three-phase circuits your site has available. Talk to us about depot layouts and sequencing if you’re running more than one or two vans.
