Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?
The Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh charges at home at 11 kW at most, over a Type 2 connection. That single figure decides your choice, because a more powerful charger will not fill this large luxury SUV any faster. A usable battery of 76.5 kWh needs a three-phase connection to reach that full power. Plug in at night and the car is ready in the morning. Want to see what else Hongqi offers?

Which EV charger suits the Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh?
The E-HS9 84 kWh charges at 11 kW at home, so a three-phase charger gives the car everything it can take. A 22 kW unit works too, but it does not charge this car faster: the ceiling stays at 11 kW.
Several of the 11 kW chargers carry a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter, so it records exactly what goes into your car. It shows you what charging at home costs, separately from the rest of your household use. You can filter on it in our charging stations with a MID meter.
Two more charger features are worth having when the battery is this big. Load balancing keeps an eye on the power your home is already using. The charger then lowers its own speed, so you never trip a breaker while your washing machine, dishwasher and oven are running. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing handle that on their own. A charger with an app lets you follow an eight hour session from the sofa instead of the garage.
Our EV home chargers are made for a driveway or garage. The 11 kW EV chargers range holds the units that match this car at its top speed.
How long does the Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh take to charge?
A 76.5 kWh usable battery divided by 11 kW of charging power comes out at just under 7 hours on paper. Count on roughly 8 hours in practice, because charging losses add to the plain sum. That still fits inside one night at home. On a single-phase connection the car charges considerably more slowly and the time runs into more than a day. For a battery this size, a three-phase connection is well worth arranging. On the road it is a different story. At a fast charger the E-HS9 takes up to 140 kW DC, enough to add real range during a coffee break.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. The car charges over three phases, so a three-phase connection in your fuse box is what unlocks the 11 kW. On a single phase the E-HS9 charges much more slowly, however powerful your charger is.
Which connection does the Hongqi E-HS9 84 kWh have?
The E-HS9 has a Type 2 connection. A charger with a fixed cable works straight away, so at home you need nothing else. For charging away from home a Type 2 charging cable fits.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
You do not have to have one, but it is useful. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter, so it measures your charging sessions accurately. That shows what charging at home costs you, apart from the rest of your electricity bill. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, which is safer and matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany only, and in Germany that runs through a free quotation. We ship almost all our products worldwide, but installation runs only in those three countries.
