How long does it take to charge the GAC GE3?
2 Answers
Charging the GAC GE3 takes approximately half an hour. For pure electric vehicles, it is necessary to charge fully in one go and avoid frequent plugging and unplugging. Taking the 2020 GAC GE3 as an example, it belongs to the small SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4337mm, width 1825mm, height 1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2560mm. The curb weight is 1526kg. The 2020 GAC GE3 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a total motor power of 132kW and a total motor torque of 290Nm, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
I remember my GAC GE3 has a 54.35kWh battery capacity. When using a 7kW home charging station for slow charging, it takes about 8 to 10 hours to charge from 20% to full, which is perfect for overnight charging after getting home. If I use a DC fast charging station outside, like those 60kW ones, it only takes 30 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, adding 200-300 km of range during a meal break. However, fast charging is more expensive, so I usually reserve it for long trips. Charging is faster in hot weather, while in winter, the battery activity decreases and charging might be 20% slower. I'd suggest choosing charging times based on your daily commute distance. If you don't have a fixed parking spot in your residential area, check with the property management about the conditions for installing a charger first.
