GWM ORA Charge times

The standard charger that comes with the car will suit some people. Although the charge time looks long, not many people will use the full charge in a day. It comes down to how many km you do per day. The standard charger will add around 10km per hour. Where as a wall charger will add 35km per hour.

Estimate charge timing comparison from 20% to 80%. After 80% charging can slow depending on the temperature of the batteries, also as the battery gets full the car balances the cells so charging will slow as it approaches 100%
