The car comes with a portable charger (the "external wire harness charging port assembly"). Plug it into a suitable household socket to charge.
Use a dedicated AC circuit with a properly earthed socket that meets local standards (the manual specifies a 220 V/20 A circuit). A dedicated circuit avoids tripping or overloading other equipment on the same circuit.

Caution:Don't try to open or repair the control box. If any fault shows, take it to an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
Troubleshooting
- Won't charge: check the control box lights, that the socket is earthed, that the supply voltage is normal and that the car connection is good.
- Charging keeps stopping: check the lights, that the mains supply is stable and that nothing is overheating.
- Trips the power when charging: check the earth, check for a short circuit, and check whether too much other equipment is on the circuit.
- Fault every time you plug in: unplug both the mains plug and the charging gun, then reconnect. If the fault stays, see your dealer straight away.
Safety
Warning:The charger must be properly earthed and only used on a supply with RCD protection. Never use adapters or extension adapters, and never plug or unplug it while the power is on.
Warning:Don't step on, crush, drag or bend the cable. Don't drop it, strike it or put heavy things on it. Don't take it apart.
Warning:Keep it away from water, snow, rain and flammable gas. Don't handle the plugs with wet hands. Make sure the charging port is dry and clean to avoid a short circuit and fire.
Warning:When you stop charging, unplug the charging gun first, then the mains plug. Make sure the plug is fully pushed in and the lights are normal while charging.
Warning:Only use the genuine cable, and only on this vehicle. Make sure it is fully unplugged before starting the car. Fit the plug's dust cover when not in use.
Note:Operating temperature: -30°C to +50°C. Keep it away from hot objects and direct sunlight. If it won't charge normally, have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
