Best Home Chargers for the Dongfeng BOX

The Dongfeng BOX supports Type 2 AC charging up to 6.6kW, which suits most single-phase New Zealand homes. A quality 7kW wall charger is still the best pick because it will deliver the car’s maximum AC rate (the vehicle caps the speed), while staying future-proof if you upgrade to a faster-AC EV later.

Choose your preferred charging setup:
• Tethered wall charger: fixed cable for the quickest “grab-and-go” home charging
• Untethered wall charger: socket-only design (use your own Type 2 cable) — great if you want flexibility for multiple EVs

Public charging with the Dongfeng BOX

New Zealand has two main public charging types: DC fast chargers for road trips and quick top-ups, and Type 2 AC chargers commonly found at supermarkets, malls, hotels and public car parks.

DC fast charging (CCS2) for the Dongfeng BOX
The Dongfeng BOX uses CCS2 at public fast chargers and supports up to 60kW DC. A common fast-charge session is 30–80% in ~30 minutes depending on charger power, battery temperature and how busy the site is.

Type 2 public AC chargers usually require you to bring your own cable. PlugShare is great for checking what socket/cable is available before you arrive.

What cable do I need for public AC charging?

We recommend a Type 2 to Type 2 cable (7kW-rated). A 5m length suits most public AC chargers.

Charging port location (useful for parking at chargers)

The BOX charging port is on the front right (driver-side) guard. The upper inlet is for Type 2 AC, and the lower section is for CCS2 DC fast charging.
