Aiways U6 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Aiways U6 is a coupe-SUV with a 63 kWh battery. Its WLTP range is around 400 km. At home you charge it most easily overnight. With an 11 kW charger the battery is full by morning. The U6 charges through a Type 2 connector at up to 11 kW AC. Want to look wider first? Browse the other Aiways EV charger options, or the sister page for the Aiways U5.

How long does the Aiways U6 take to charge?
At home you charge the U6 with alternating current (AC). Its on-board charger accepts up to 11 kW. A heavier charger will not make it any faster. Plan on roughly 6.5 hours for a full charge. In practice you rarely charge from empty to full. Plug in around 23:00 and the car is ready by morning.
On the road you top up quickly at a fast charger. On DC the battery charges to 80 percent in about half an hour. That is enough to extend your range on a longer trip. Home charging stays the cheapest and most convenient option.
Which EV charger suits the Aiways U6?
Because the U6 charges at 11 kW, an 11 kW charger is the logical match. A 22 kW charger will not charge it any faster. The car sets the limit here, not the charger.
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter. It shows exactly how much power you charge at home, apart from the rest of your household use. If that matters to you, note that at 11 kW the choice is still limited. Built-in MID meters are common from 22 kW upward. Weigh that against the slower speed a heavier charger gives this car. Compare our chargers with a MID meter to see the options.
For a simple start, our home charging stations cover everything the U6 needs. The U6 uses a Type 2 connector, so you charge through the fixed cable of the station. A loose Type 2 charging cable is handy only for charging away from home.
Installing your Aiways U6 charger
We always advise having the connection done by a certified installer. That is safer and matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany this runs through a free quotation rather than a booked service. Shipping is worldwide, but installation stays within those three countries. For 11 kW you need a three-phase connection, which uses three live wires instead of one, and a separate circuit in the meter box. The installer checks this and connects everything to standard.
Frequently asked questions
How far do you get on a full Aiways U6?
Under the WLTP test method the U6 covers around 400 km on a full 63 kWh battery. Real range depends on speed, temperature and driving style. On the motorway in winter it drops, in town in mild weather it climbs. Home charging on 11 kW tops that range back up every night.
Does the Aiways U6 need a three-phase connection to charge at 11 kW?
Yes. The U6 charges at up to 11 kW at home, and that power needs a three-phase connection with 3x16 amps. On a single-phase connection the power drops to 3.7 kW and a full charge takes much longer. Your grid operator can arrange a three-phase connection for you.
Why is a MID meter useful for the Aiways U6?
A MID-certified kWh meter records precisely how much power you charge at home. That lets you see your home charging cost on its own, separate from your household use. At 11 kW the choice of chargers with a built-in MID meter is limited. Check the specification before you buy.
