Charging Subaru EVs
Choosing to invest in a Subaru EV is not an easy decision. In choosing to go for an EV, you’ll also need to consider how you will be charging it. Charging Subaru EVs is very similar to charging other car brands, and you’ll want to consider how to get the most out of its battery.
Opting to only use the 3-pin emergency charger can be very expensive in the long run, but equally, choosing cheaper third-party charging equipment can degrade the quality of the battery over time.
It is often best practice to go for reputable, high-grade charging equipment to ensure you get the most from your EV.

Subaru EV & PHEVs Models
Subaru has one model of electric vehicle available, and that is the Subaru Solterra which was released in 2022. It has a battery capacity of 71.4 kWh.
Charging a Subaru Solterra will depend upon what kind of charger, what kind of cable, and how much budget you have to spend on your home set-up.
Subaru Charging Cables
The Subaru Solterra will require you to purchase a Type charging cable to charge it with your home set up.
Here at Smartly, we stock a range of type 2 cables that are compatible with Subaru EVs:

Equally as important as the kind of cable you choose is the charger that you select. Without a good charger, you’re charging times will be slow, and the cost will be more expensive (overall).
We’d recommend a 7.4kW single phase charger for home charging.
Here are some of the chargers we have in stock:

For the Subaru Solterra, you can get:
A full charge in 31 hours with an emergency 3-pin plug.
A full charge in 20 hours with a 3.6 kW charger.
A full charge in 10 hours with either a 7 kW charger or a 22 kW charger.
20-80% charge in around 60 minutes using a 50 kW charger.
20-80% charge in around 20 minutes using a 150 kW.
A Subaru Solterra is said to have up to 289 miles on a full battery charge (WLTP). That is, if the car is being driven with efficiency in mind.
On average, the electric cost per mile for Subaru’s Solterra electric vehicle is 7.73p per mile. This means that it costs around £22.33 per 289 miles a Subaru Solterra travels (or the cost to fill up and use a full battery).
