Those two facts together mean the cable run is long on most driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the wall box is mounted on the house wall and you drive in nose first, the lead has to go the entire length of the vehicle and then round the back of it. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eTen metres\u003c\/a\u003e is the starting point rather than the generous option, and 15 or 20 metres is right for a detached garage, a charge point on the far side of the house, or a driveway where the car cannot get close to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePace it out from the socket to the flap with the car parked as it always is, then allow a little extra. It is worth pacing it out properly on a car this size, because the difference between a lead that just reaches and one that reaches comfortably is a daily irritation either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe charger is the same as the smaller Tiggo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 6.6 kW onboard charger is the whole story. It is a single phase unit needing about 29 amps, so a British house has no difficulty supplying it and a 7.4 kW charge point simply runs at the car's pace rather than its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18.4 kWh battery is also shared with the Tiggo 7, despite the Tiggo 8 being a much larger vehicle. A dealer post claiming the Tiggo 8 has a 34 kWh pack is describing the Tiggo 9; every official Chery source gives this car 18.3 or 18.4 kWh. Electric range is 56 miles and Chery's own brochure quotes a combined figure of over 745 miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe car is the bottleneck, not the cable, so the extra current goes unused. So the 16A cable is the right buy on the electrical side, and the money is better spent on getting the length right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRapid charging is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA CCS2 socket rated at 40 kW is standard, with thirty to eighty per cent in around twenty minutes per Chery UK's brochure. That is unusual generosity on a plug-in hybrid and it takes some pressure off long journeys, where a seven seater is most likely to be fully loaded and working hardest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 18.4 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 6.6 kW, the car maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 23 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHours come from dividing the pack by the power the car actually draws, with 13 per cent added for losses. Miles per hour is worked at 3.5 miles per kWh, a figure that survives a cold morning.
