JAC iEV7s EV charger: which one fits best?
The JAC iEV7s charges at home on a single phase, at up to 6.6 kW. That decides straight away what makes sense. You do not need a 22 kW charger. You do need one that matches your car and your fuse box. You will find the brand's charging information in our overview of JAC EV chargers.
For the JAC iEV7s we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.
Charging specifications of the JAC iEV7s
The iEV7s uses a Type 2 connection and charges on one phase. A heavier charger will not push it past its own ceiling of 6.6 kW. Worth knowing before you choose.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Usable battery capacity | 39 kWh |
| Max. AC charging power (home) | 6.6 kW (single-phase) |
| Charging connector | Type 2 |
| Charging time on a single-phase 7.4 kW charger (32 A) | approx. 7 hours |
| Charging time on a three-phase 11 kW charger | approx. 12.5 hours (3.7 kW) |
| Charging time on a standard wall socket | approx. 20 hours |
| All charging times | including charging losses |
Which EV charger suits the JAC iEV7s?
Because the iEV7s charges on one phase, a single-phase 32 A charger gives you its full 6.6 kW. That is why a 7.4 kW unit is the right match. It covers the car's ceiling, and you pay nothing for power the car cannot use. A three-phase 11 kW EV charger is future-proof for a next car. It feeds this JAC only one of its three phases. That means 3.7 kW, so charging takes almost twice as long.
One thing to know before you compare: at 7.4 kW our range has no charger with a built-in MID meter. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records your home charging separately from the rest of your electricity. That meter starts at 11 kW in our range. You find it among our EV chargers with a MID meter. For the iEV7s it is a genuine trade-off: metering accuracy against charging speed.
Two features you can have at 7.4 kW are worth more here. An EV charger with an app lets you move a seven-hour session into your cheapest hours from your phone. And if you have solar panels, a solar EV charger feeds the car your surplus first. With a modest 39 kWh battery, a sunny afternoon covers a useful share of a full charge.
Our home EV chargers bring together everything meant for a driveway or garage. The iEV7s has a type 2 connection, so a charger with a fixed cable needs nothing extra. A loose type 2 charging cable is only useful for public charging points.
How long does the JAC iEV7s take to charge?
The rough sum is 39 kWh divided by the charging power, plus the losses that charging always costs. On a single-phase 32 A charger the iEV7s charges at 6.6 kW, which fills the battery in roughly seven hours. Connect it to an 11 kW charger and it takes just one phase, 16 A. That is 3.7 kW, so you charge for more than twelve hours. A standard wall socket manages 2.3 kW and needs about twenty hours. For daily use, a fixed charger is the obvious choice.
Frequently asked questions
Does the JAC iEV7s charge faster with a 22 kW EV charger?
No. The iEV7s charges on a single phase at 6.6 kW at most. An 11 kW or 22 kW charger does not fill it any faster than that. Such a unit is future-proof if your next EV can charge harder, but it buys this car nothing.
Why does a MID meter matter for me as a private driver?
Because it turns a guess into a number. A MID meter logs your home charging separately, so you know what a full battery costs and what a kilometre costs you. That matters for any driver, not just a company one. For the iEV7s there is a catch: that meter starts at 11 kW, and 11 kW halves this car's charging speed. You are choosing between knowing the cost and charging in a night.
Should I have the charger installed by an electrician?
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. We ship worldwide, but outside those three countries you arrange the installation locally.
