How long does it take to charge the Emgrand PHEV?

The charging time for the Emgrand PHEV varies depending on the situation: 1. It takes 1.5 hours when using a 6.6kW charging pile; 2. It takes 3.5 hours when using a 3.3kW charging pile; 3. It takes 8 hours when using a 220V household power supply. Taking the 2021 Emgrand PHEV as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a torsion beam rear suspension, equipped with a permanent magnet motor, with a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 240Nm, matched with a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
I've been driving the Emgrand PHEV for half a year now and I'm quite familiar with the charging process. With a home 220V slow charger, just plug it in after work in the evening, and it'll be fully charged by the next morning, taking about 9 hours. If you're in a hurry and use a fast charger, it'll be done within 2 hours. Last time at the charging station, I had a coffee while waiting, and by the time I finished my cup, it had already reached 80%. Remember not to overuse fast charging as it can damage the battery, and charging is slower when the temperature is too low. Installing a home charger is the most cost-effective option, with off-peak electricity rates as low as 0.3 yuan per kWh. Monthly electricity costs can save you hundreds compared to fuel, and for daily commuting, you hardly need to use gas at all.
The Emgrand PHEV primarily supports two charging methods: First is the home slow charging pile, which takes approximately 8 to 10 hours to fully charge under 220V voltage. Second is the DC fast charging pile, which can generally complete charging in about 1.5 hours. I've seen someone in the car owners' group test it, taking roughly 50 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. Charging time mainly depends on three factors: remaining battery level, ambient temperature, and charging power. Charging speed is faster in summer than in winter, with the most efficient charging recommended at around 25 degrees. In fact, most owners charge overnight and use the car during the day, which hardly affects daily commuting.
