Subaru EV & Plug-in Hybrid Charging Solutions

If you are considering a move to an EV, you need to make sure you can keep it charged, day after day, with the right balance of home charging convenience and access to public charging stations when you need them. At Pro EV, we help Subaru drivers install smart EV chargers, find the right charging cable or accessories, and understand the charging network that keeps their cars on the road 24 hours a day.

Whether you’re charging the all-electric Subaru Solterra or a plug-in hybrid model, our goal is simple: to make charging an electric car straightforward, cost-effective, and reliable.

Charging Subaru EVs at Home

Most Subaru drivers prefer to charge at home because it’s both cost-effective and convenient. With a wall-mounted EV charger connected to a 240V outlet, you achieve the optimal balance of speed and simplicity, plug in overnight and wake up to a full charge, ready for the day. While a standard 3-pin plug will work with a regular household socket, it’s slow and really only suited to occasional use. A dedicated 7kW Home Charger is far more practical, taking a Subaru Solterra from empty to full in around 11 hours, or recharging a plug-in hybrid in just 2–3 hours. Many modern chargers also come with smart features that let you schedule charging sessions during off-peak hours, saving money while helping to protect your battery. With Pro EV’s NICEIC-accredited team, you can be assured that your EV charger installation is safe, fully compliant, and tailored to your specific home setup.

Subaru Solterra Charging Times

The Subaru Solterra, with its 71.4kWh battery and signature symmetrical all-wheel drive, is built for adventure, but keeping it powered up means having the proper charging setup. At home, a 7.4kW EV charger takes around 11 hours to deliver a full charge, making overnight charging the easiest option. On the road, things move much faster. At public charging stations, DC fast charging at 50–150kW can take you from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes, while ultra-rapid chargers at 150kW+ make long-distance travel even smoother with shorter top-ups. For Subaru plug-in hybrids, the smaller battery allows for a full recharge at home in just 2–3 hours using a 7kW EV Charger. Charging times may vary depending on your charger, battery level, and environmental conditions. Still, the combination of home and public charging means your Subaru is always ready for the next journey.

Even with reliable home charging, there will be times you need to top up while you’re out. That’s where the Subaru Charging Network comes in, partnering with European providers to give drivers access to thousands of charging points across the UK and beyond. From fast AC chargers (7–22kW) that are perfect for a quick boost while shopping, to Level 3 DC fast chargers (50–150kW) that add serious range in under 40 minutes, and ultra-rapid chargers (150kW+) along motorways for the quickest turnaround, Subaru drivers are well covered. With standard Type 2 AC and CCS DC connectors, both the Solterra and plug-in hybrid models are compatible with the vast majority of public charging stations in the UK.

Cost of Charging a Subaru Electric Car

Charging at home is typically the most cost-effective way to power your Subaru. Although the 240V-powered Level 2 charger costs less per mile than petrol or diesel, smart chargers will make it even more affordable by utilising off-peak rates.

Public stations are practical, particularly DC fast charges and ultra-rapid stations, but tend to be higher in cost per kWh. The most effective approach is to use home charging for everyday requirements and public stations for longer trips.
