Trumpchi GE3 requires 0.5 hours for fast charging and 8 hours for slow charging. When charging a pure electric vehicle, it is essential to charge it fully in one go. Avoid waiting until the battery is completely depleted before charging, as this can damage the battery. Additionally, refrain from frequently plugging and unplugging during charging, as it may cause the battery to develop a charging memory, which can affect its lifespan over time. The Trumpchi GE3 is a pure electric compact SUV produced by GAC New Energy. It measures 4350mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. The vehicle is equipped with features such as automatic air conditioning, rear air vents, seat heating, one-key start, keyless entry, rearview camera, electronic parking brake, and auto hold.

I've been using the GAC GE3 for over a year now. Charging time mainly depends on the method: with home slow charging, it takes about 7-8 hours to fully charge from zero. I usually plug it in at night, and by the next morning, I can get over 300 kilometers of range. Charging after daily commutes is quite convenient, saving me extra costs for fast charging stations. However, when in a hurry, like heading out for a weekend trip, I use the fast charging piles at shopping malls, which can charge up to 80% in about 30 minutes, good for roughly 200 kilometers. It's worth noting that frequent fast charging might affect battery lifespan, so I only use it when necessary, sticking to slow charging for daily use to keep the car healthy. Charging is slightly slower in winter due to reduced battery efficiency in low temperatures, so I recommend owners plan their charging with some extra time in mind.

As a loyal electric vehicle user, I often observe the charging details of the GAC GE3: the battery capacity is 54kWh, and the power of a standard home charging pile is about 6.6kW. Calculating from 20% to full charge takes approximately 7 hours. Using a DC fast charging pile with a power of 50kW, it only takes 30 minutes to reach 80% charge, which I've tested several times and found quite accurate. However, charging time is affected by environmental factors. For example, high temperatures in summer can speed up fast charging, but frequent use can easily cause the battery to heat up, so I recommend charging at home more often for both cost savings and safety. Additionally, the APP can monitor the charging status and set charging times to avoid peak electricity rates for better savings. Overall, the flexibility of the GE3 allows me to easily balance time and battery maintenance.

Driving the GE3 to take my kids to school, I manage the charging time well: slow charging usually takes 7 hours to full, and I make it a habit to plug in at night, so it's ready to use the next day. In emergencies, like forgetting to charge over the weekend while shopping, a quick charge for half an hour gets most of the battery done, saving money without causing delays. Weather changes don't affect charging much, but planning charging spots is key. I often use a mobile app to find nearby charging stations to avoid queues. Briefly sharing my experience: the GAC Motor's charging is quite flexible with fast and slow options, and even beginners can quickly get the hang of it without difficulty.
