What is the charging method for the Geely Jiaji?
3 Answers
Geely Jiaji offers the following charging methods: 1. Method one: Use a standard plug socket with a rated current not exceeding 16A to charge directly at home, which takes approximately 8-10 hours for a full charge. Household three-pin sockets come in two specifications: 10A and 16A, with the 16A plug and socket being larger in size. 2. Method two: Use an AC charging pile for charging. This method involves charging the electric vehicle directly on an AC power grid with higher current using a charging pile, taking about 4 hours. The power of slow charging piles is typically 3.5kW and 7kW, depending on the rated input power of the vehicle's onboard charger. 3. Method three: Use a DC charging pile for charging. This method connects the electric vehicle to an AC or DC power grid using a DC power supply device with control guidance functionality. Generally, only pure electric vehicles are equipped with DC charging capability, commonly referred to as 'fast charging'.
Last year, I bought a Geely Jiaji PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), and charging it has been quite convenient. It uses a standard charging cable that can be plugged into a household 220V socket. I installed a charging station in my garage, and it usually takes about 8 hours to fully charge. If I need a quicker charge, I can go to a public charging station, which offers DC fast charging—it can charge up to 80% in just 30 minutes, making it especially handy for weekend road trips. The car also features a scheduled charging function; I usually plug it in at night, and by morning, it's fully charged, saving both time and electricity. After using it for over a year, the battery has had no issues. Just a reminder: avoid exposing the charging port to rain or impacts while charging—safety first. This car offers great value for money, and the charging cost is much cheaper than refueling, saving me a significant amount each month.
As a Jiayu owner, I find the charging options quite versatile. The most commonly used is home slow charging, which connects to a 220V power supply and takes 6 to 8 hours to fully charge, making it suitable for overnight charging. It also supports public fast charging stations, typically reaching 80% in about half an hour, saving time. The car's smart system allows controlling the charging progress via a mobile app, enabling you to set charging times to avoid peak hours, such as when electricity rates are cheaper at night. Before each business trip, I make sure to charge up to avoid running out of power on the road. Here's a handy tip: Regularly check if the charging cable is worn out, and avoid charging in extreme weather conditions to extend battery life. Compared to traditional fuel cars, the hybrid version is very economical to charge, saving thousands in fuel costs annually, making it a worthwhile investment.
