What types of charger cable will Solterra accept?
Charging cables have connectors you plug directly into the EV and/or the charging unit. The type of connector you use depends on the electric vehicle, the battery capacity and the charging port. The Subaru Solterra charging port is positioned on the front left wing of the car and uses two types of charging plugs:
- Type 2 Charging Port – 7kW AC (supports charging at home through a wall-box or can be plugged into a standard three-pin plug that you can connect to any 13-amp socket)
- Combined Charging System (CCS) – 150kW DC (Supports fast charging using a public charger) When you buy a Solterra it will come with a Type 2- to Type 2 cable and a Type 2- to UK Domestic plug cable.
- Caution! We would advise, prior to using a mains socket that you have the socket checked by an approved electrician to confirm that the socket and associated components can carry the required load. Alternatively, we would recommend you have a dedicated 240V/16 Amp socket installed.
