How long does it take to charge the Ora Good Cat?
2 Answers
The Ora Good Cat takes 0.5 hours for fast charging (20-80%) and 8 hours for slow charging (0-100km/h). Electric vehicle charging precautions: To prevent electric shock accidents, check both ends of the charging cable for poor contact before charging. Poor contact may cause the plug to overheat, and prolonged overheating could lead to short circuits, potentially damaging the charger and battery. During heavy rain or hot weather, promptly check if the charging cable has accumulated water or is overheating. Factors affecting charging time: Charging an electric vehicle at 220 volts typically takes about 9 hours for a full charge. Using a dedicated charging pile can reduce this time to about 2 hours, while a professional charging station can fully charge the vehicle in 15 to 30 minutes. Charging power and the vehicle's battery capacity directly affect the charging time.
I've been driving the Ora Good Cat for almost two years, and charging time mainly depends on the charger and habits. A home slow charger takes about 10 hours from 0% to 100%. I plug it in every night, and by morning, it's fully charged and ready to go. The 48kWh battery version gives me a range of 380 kilometers, which is enough for a week. At fast-charging stations, it takes about half an hour to charge from 20% to 80%, which is suitable for temporary long-distance trips. Weather has a significant impact; in winter, low temperatures can extend charging time by an hour or two, while in summer, charging proceeds normally without much delay. For daily commuting, I plan charging points and avoid peak hours to save time. Overall, the charging speed feels reasonable, so I don’t need to constantly worry about the battery. I stick to original equipment to avoid issues.
