Charging Suzuki EVs
Suzuki is still waiting for their time to shine when it comes to fully electric vehicles. The automotive company announced last year that they plan to release their first full EV before 2025.
While it may seem like Suzuki is running behind when so many industry titans have already switched to manufacturing electric vehicles, their CO2 emissions are already lower than many other manufacturers’ – as most of the cars they produce have small engines and light bodies.
Until this point, they have only released one PHEV, The Suzuki Across (2021), and updated it with a more powerful onboard charger in 2022. The remaining partially electric vehicles they offer are ‘mild hybrids’ that self-charge.
If you have a Suzuki Across and want to learn how to get the most from your PHEV, read on.

Suzuki PHEV Chargers
Charging your PHEV at home will help you make the most out of owning an electric vehicle, and it’ll stop you from relying on expensive public chargers and offer you an easy way to charge your car overnight, during cheaper off-peak energy hours.
For home charging, we recommend a single-phase charger. Take a look at our:
We typically don’t recommend three phase chargers for home charging as most UK homes will lack a suitable three-phase power supply. You can find all chargers available by clicking here.
PHEVs don’t qualify for all of the tax exemptions and grants that fully electric vehicles do, as, although reduced, they still produce carbon emissions.
PHEVs are, however, entitled to some grants to help owners install a charging station at their homes and can benefit from tax discounts for low-emission vehicles. You can check the government grants available for low-emission vehicles on the UK Gov website.

The time it takes to charge any PHEV or EV depends on the size of the vehicle's electric battery, and the quality of the equipment that you use.
A Suzuki Across has a fairly large 18.1 kWh electric battery. Suzuki claims that the Across (2021) can travel 46 miles on electricity alone with a fully-charged battery, further if you engage the petrol engine.
To charge a Suzuki Across fully, it will take an average of:
● 7.5 hours to achieve a full charge using a 3-pin plug.
● 5.5 hours to achieve a full charge using a 3.3kW charger.
● 5.5 hours to achieve a full charge using a 7.4kW charger.*
*The onboard charger is limiting the charging speed of the vehicle.
The Suzuki Across is not capable of rapid or DC charging, however, due to its combination of petrol and electric engines, the need to top up on the road should be low so long as you have an at-home charging station.
It can be charged with a three-pin plug, however this will take much longer and is not recommended as an efficient way to charge your PHEV.

Your Suzuki charging costs will vary depending on our electricity provider, but for an average of 28p per kWh, fully charging a Suzuki Across at home would cost £5.06 with a 3.3kW or 7.4kW charger.
