2 Answers
The charging steps for the Chery EQ are: plug the charging pile connector into the EQ charging port, and charge for 8 to 10 hours. Taking the 2017 Chery EQ as an example, it belongs to the microcar category, with body dimensions of: length 3564mm, width 1620mm, height 1527mm, and a wheelbase of 2340mm, with a curb weight of 1128kg. The 2017 Chery EQ features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a longitudinal trailing arm non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet motor, delivering a maximum power of 41.8kw and a maximum torque of 150nm, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
As a new EV owner, I was a bit flustered when I first started charging my Chery eQ. First, find a safe parking spot, preferably on level ground—avoid charging on slopes to prevent sliding. Then, open the charging port cover and plug in the charging cable that came with the car. If using a standard household outlet, opt for slow charging, ideal for overnight charging. For public fast-charging stations, use the app to locate one. Once plugged in, initiate charging via the car’s screen or the app, and you’ll see the battery percentage rise as current flows. Safety is always on my mind during charging, so avoid flammable materials nearby and check that the cable isn’t tangled or overheating. I usually unplug once the battery reaches 80% to avoid overcharging. After charging, remove the cable and close the cover. The whole process takes about 6-8 hours, and a money-saving tip is to charge during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. For first-timers, practice a few times—no need to rush.
