Omoda 9 EV Charging Cable

The cleanest single phase confirmation in the whole group

This is one of the cars that loses nothing on a domestic supply. The 6.6 kW charger is single phase by design at roughly 29 amps, well inside what a home charge point provides, so the car takes its full rated power on any ordinary driveway.

On this car the German technical catalogue states it outright: single phase, AC 6.6 kW, and a full charge in 330 minutes on a single phase 6.6 kW wall box. Thirty-four point four six kilowatt hours over five and a half hours is 6.27 kW, which is exactly what a 6.6 kW charger produces once the top of the pack tapers. There is no ambiguity to work around.

No cable can lift that figure: the onboard charger decides it. One published figure to treat carefully: the Australian and New Zealand sheets describe the same five and a half hours as covering thirty to one hundred per cent, which at 6.6 kW would imply only 4.4 kW. The start state of charge on those sheets looks mislabelled; read the five and a half hours as a full charge.

Ninety miles of electric range from a large battery

The pack is 34.46 kWh, which the UK owner manual confirms from cell data at 322.08 volts and 107 amp hours, and one UK outlet separates that usable figure from a 35.36 kWh total. Electric range is 90 miles WLTP on Omoda UK own model page and on the German 145 kilometre figure, though Omoda UK press release and one UK review both say 93.

Ninety miles is a long electric range for a plug-in hybrid and it changes how the car is used: for many owners the engine becomes a motorway-only device. DC charging is quoted at 70 kW by Omoda Australia and New Zealand and by UK press, and at 65 kW by Omoda Germany and the technical catalogue, all agreeing on thirty to eighty per cent in 25 minutes.

The port has moved sides from the Omoda 7

The charge flap sits on the nearside rear wing, in the place a fuel filler would normally live. That is the kerb side of the car in Britain, at the back, so reversing in is what brings it close to a wall box near the house.

We can be confident because three sources resolve to the same physical side from two different directions: the Australian and New Zealand specification sheets say passenger side rear, and those are right hand drive markets like ours, while the German catalogue says driver side rear from a left hand drive car. Both descriptions mean the vehicle left, which is the nearside here.

That is the opposite of the Omoda 7, so if you own both, or you are replacing a lead, the length that suited one will not necessarily suit the other.

How long a full charge takes

The arithmetic is simple: kWh over kW, 13 per cent on top for losses, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. The range column is deliberately cautious, at 3.5 miles per kWh. Our top row is close to the published 330 minutes, which is a useful check on the method.

Six and a half hours from flat, which is a night rather than an evening, and the price of ninety miles of electric range in a plug-in hybrid. On an off peak tariff that is a lot of very cheap driving for one charge.

Which length for an Omoda 9

Measure to the nearside rear corner of a 4.77 metre SUV. That makes ten metres the default on most driveways and fifteen the answer for a detached garage or a charge point across a courtyard.

Five metres only works where the car reverses in and the wall box sits beside that rear corner. Vehicle-to-load is offered through the same socket, though the figure is disputed between 3.3 kW in the UK manual and 6.6 kW on the German site. The honest way to choose is to measure the real parking position and allow two metres spare.

How these cables are built

Construction is to IEC 62196-2 with CE marking, IP55 weather protection and a -30C to +50C operating range.

Three pin leads are made to IEC 62752, CE marked and IP67 sealed, with a -30C to +60C specification. Backed by a two year manufacturer's warranty, with free next working day delivery and a 30 day return window.

Omoda 9 charging cable questions

How fast does an Omoda 9 charge at home?

6.6 kW, and this is the one car in the range where the technical data states the single phase case outright: 330 minutes to a full charge on a single phase 6.6 kW wall box.

Which side is the charge socket on?

The nearside rear, which is the opposite side to the Omoda 7. Two right hand drive market spec sheets and the German catalogue all resolve to the vehicle left.

How far does it go on electricity?

90 miles WLTP on Omoda UK model page. Its own press release and one UK review say 93, so treat 90 as the conservative figure.

Can it rapid charge?

Yes, at 65 to 70 kW depending which source you read, with thirty to eighty per cent in 25 minutes on all of them.
