How many hours does it take to fully charge the Ora R1 at home?
2 Answers
Ora R1 at home charging time should be calculated according to the charging method, the following details: 1. The official announcement that the car in the fast charging mode, the battery from 30% to 80% of the time is 40 minutes, according to this calculation, its maximum fast charging power is about 25kw. 2. In slow charging mode, it takes 10 and a half hours to charge the battery from 0 to 100%, and a slow charging pile with a charging power of at least 3.2kw is required. 3. The 220V slow charging line of Ora R1 is 2.86kw, if it is used for charging, it takes about 11 and a half hours to fully charge the whole battery.
I've been driving the Ora R1 for almost a year now and have plenty of home charging experience. Using a regular wall socket (the 110V type), the charging power is only about 1.4 kW, taking over 20 hours to go from completely empty to full charge—way too slow and frustrating. Later, I installed a home charging station (the 220V, 7 kW type), which is much faster, taking roughly 4 to 5 hours for a full charge. For example, if the car has only 20% battery left after work, I plug it in at 6 PM when I get home, and by 10 PM, it's fully charged without any delay for the next day's trip. Charging time is also affected by weather—it's faster in hot summers and slower in cold winters. Personally, I recommend using a charging station directly, especially since the Ora R1 has a 33 kWh battery—higher power means better efficiency. Now, with electricity being cheap, I save hundreds of dollars every month compared to driving a gas car—practical and economical.
