Find reliable charger reviews, installation guidance, and setup tips for charging Alfa Romeo EVs at home, including the Junior Elettrica and Tonale Plug-in Hybrid.
The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-in Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid SUV equipped with a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery and an onboard charging module typically around 7.4 kW. It has an EPA-rated all-electric range of 33 miles (53 km) and a combined efficiency rating of 77 MPGe (equivalent to 44 kWh/100 mi or 27.3 kWh/100 km).
The Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-in Hybrid features a standard SAE J1772 charging port (North America) or Type 2 charging port (Europe) compatible with both AC Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers, and is not typically designed for public DC fast charging.
For AC home charging, it supports AC Level 1 charging (120V) in North America, providing a full charge in approximately 8 hours. For faster home charging, it supports AC Level 2 charging (240V, up to 32 amps), delivering a full charge in just under 3 hours, adding approximately 11 miles (18 km) of range per hour (based on a 7.4 kW charge rate).
The 2025 Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica is an all-electric SUV equipped with a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery (50.8 kWh usable) and an 11 kW onboard charging module. It has a WLTP-rated all-electric range of up to 255 miles (410 km), with real-world estimates closer to 135-200 miles (217-320 km) depending on conditions. Its efficiency is rated at approximately 159 Wh/km (6.29 km/kWh).
The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica supports AC charging for home use via a Type 2 (7-pin) connector and DC fast charging for public stations using a CCS (Combined Charging System) connector.
For AC home charging, it supports AC charging (230V single-phase or 400V three-phase) at up to 11 kW, providing approximately 36 miles (58 km) of electric range per hour.
For faster charging, it supports DC fast charging at up to 100 kW, delivering a 20% to 80% charge in about 27-30 minutes, or around 317 miles (510 km) of range per hour.
Understanding charging levels helps you pick the best option for your needs. Here’s a quick guide to Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (DC Fast) chargers for the Alfa Romeo electric vehicles, such as the Junior Elettrica and the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid.
Uses a standard 120V household outlet. It’s the slowest option, best for overnight or emergency charging.
Utilizes a higher voltage AC connection (240V/230V/400V) for faster charging, ideal for daily home or destination charging
Available at public stations. Bypasses the onboard charger to rapidly charge the battery in under an hour.
