The UK owner's manual doesn't give charging times. Jaecoo's Super Hybrid System presentation quotes these figures – treat them as manufacturer claims:
| Method | Jaecoo states |
|---|---|
| Home 3-pin socket (portable charger) | 0–100% in 8.5 hours at 3.3 kW |
| AC charging (wallbox/public AC) | 30–80% in 3 hours at 6.6 kW maximum |
| DC rapid charging | 30–80% in 20 minutes at 40 kW maximum |
What slows charging down
- Very hot or cold weather reduces charging power and makes charging take longer.
- When the battery is cold, it may not charge at full power at first. Power rises as the battery warms up.
- In cold weather the battery heating runs while charging, so charging takes longer and uses more energy. This is normal.
- Charging straight after a drive, while the battery is still warm, gives better charging performance in cold weather.
- In hot weather, charge somewhere cool and ventilated, out of direct sunlight.
Note:After charging, the radiator fan and air-con compressor may run for a while to cool the battery. This is normal.
Note:Jaecoo also states the car will automatically top up the battery using regenerative braking and the engine when SOC drops below 20%.
