The best home charger for the JAC T9 PHEV is a 7kW (32A) wall charger — it fully charges the 31.2kWh battery in around 4.5 hours, versus much longer on the included 3-pin portable charger. The T9 PHEV has an 11kW onboard AC charger, so with 3-phase power it charges even faster. For public AC charging you’ll want a 22kW (3-phase) Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and the T9 also DC fast charges via CCS2. Full details below.

About the T9 PHEV
The JAC T9 PHEV is a plug-in hybrid ute — it pairs a 2.0L turbo-petrol engine with a 31.2kWh battery for up to 100km of pure-EV range (NEDC) and a 1,005km combined range. Because it’s a plug-in hybrid, you get the running-cost savings of charging at home for daily driving, with petrol as backup for long trips and towing.
The battery can be topped up three ways: plugged in at home, work or a public charger; charged on the move by the petrol engine; and through regenerative braking. It comes with a 3-pin portable charger in the box, but for regular use a wall charger is faster and more convenient.

With a 31.2kWh battery, the T9 PHEV charges quickly at home — a 7kW wall charger fully tops it up in around 4.5 hours. Its 11kW onboard charger means a 3-phase charger tops it up even faster, restoring the full EV range for the next day’s driving.
Best for most homes
A cable-attached wall charger is the easiest option — just pull up and plug in. Fully charges the T9 PHEV in around 4.5 hours.
Want your own cable
A socketed wall charger lets you use your own Type 2 cable and keep it tidy — handy if you charge more than one vehicle.
Got solar panels
Our smart chargers support solar diversion — soak up your excess solar export and charge the T9 PHEV for free during the day.
Estimated charge times for the 31.2kWh battery. Because it’s a plug-in hybrid with a smaller battery than a full EV, home charging is quick — a wall charger easily refills it overnight, or even during the day.
| Charger type | Battery | Approx. charge time to full |
|---|---|---|
| Included 3-pin portable charger (8A) | 31.2kWh | ~18 hours |
| 10A Type 2 plug-in charger | 31.2kWh | ~15 hours |
| 16A charger (caravan style) | 31.2kWh | ~9 hours |
| 32A / 7kW wall charger | 31.2kWh | ~4.5 hours |
| Tron 22kW (with 3 phase charging, 11kW rate) | 31.2kWh | ~3 hours — fastest AC option |
| DC fast charger (CCS2) | 31.2kWh | 15% → 80% in ~30 min |

The T9 PHEV supports CCS2 DC fast charging, taking the battery from 15% to 80% in around 30 minutes. Handy for a quick top-up during a coffee stop — though as a plug-in hybrid, you always have petrol as backup, so you’ll rarely rely on it. DC chargers have cables attached, so there’s no need to bring your own.
Type 2 public chargers are found at supermarkets, malls, gyms, hotels and public carparks — you’ll need to bring your own cable for most of these.

We recommend a 22kW (3-phase) Type 2 to Type 2 cable in 5m. The T9 PHEV charges at up to 11kW from the Type 2 socket, so a 22kW-rated cable makes full use of it — and it still works on every single-phase charger. The majority of free public chargers use a Type 2 socket, so this cable lets you use them. Some public chargers have a Type 2 cable hard-wired, so a cable isn’t needed 100% of the time.
A 7kW (32A) wall charger is the best option — it fully charges the 31.2kWh battery in around 4.5 hours, restoring the full EV range for daily driving. It’s much faster and more convenient than the included 3-pin portable charger for regular use.
Yes — it comes with a 3-pin portable charger that plugs into a standard home or building socket. It’s handy as a backup or for occasional charging, but for regular use a wall charger is significantly faster.
On a 7kW wall charger the 31.2kWh battery fully charges in around 4.5 hours, and faster still on a 22kW 3-phase charger (the onboard charger is 11kW). On DC fast charging via CCS2 it goes from 15% to 80% in around 30 minutes. The included 3-pin portable charger takes considerably longer — best kept as a backup.
Yes. The T9 PHEV has a built-in 3.3kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) power outlet in the tray, so you can run power tools, camping gear, lights or appliances straight from the ute. No adapter is needed — the outlet is built into the vehicle.
A 22kW (3-phase) Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the best choice. The T9 PHEV charges at up to 11kW from the Type 2 socket, so a 22kW-rated cable makes full use of that, and it also works on every single-phase public charger. A 5m length suits most sites.
As a plug-in hybrid, the T9 can run on petrol alone if you never plug it in — but you’d miss the savings. Charging at home gives you up to 100km of low-cost EV range for daily driving, with petrol as backup for long trips and towing. Charging overnight on an EV power plan maximises the savings.
