Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh EV charger: which one suits best?
The Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh charges at home through an onboard charger of 11 kW (Type 2). That sets your choice. A charger delivering more than 11 kW adds nothing here, because the car never draws more than 11 kW on alternating current (AC). The E-HS9 120 kWh has the largest battery in the range. A fixed charger that fills it overnight matters more here than on the smaller versions. See the overview of the Hongqi E-HS9 EV charger or all Hongqi EV chargers.
For the Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh?
The E-HS9 120 kWh charges at home at 11 kW. So an 11 kW charger on a three-phase connection uses the car's full charging power. A heavier 22 kW charger does not charge this car faster at home. You only pay for power the car does not use.
A MID meter is worth your attention. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records your home charging accurately. From 2026 you can earn back a fee for home charging, but that scheme applies from 2026 in the Netherlands only. It comes to roughly 10 cents per kWh with a certified meter. Prefer a model with a built-in MID meter if that fits your situation.
The 120 kWh battery needs a long overnight charge. If more is running in the house at the same time, a charger with dynamic load balancing helps. Load balancing means the charger measures the power available in your meter box and adjusts automatically, so the group does not trip. Take a look at our chargers with dynamic load balancing.
The E-HS9 has a Type 2 connection, so at home you charge through the charger's fixed cable. A separate Type 2 charging cable is only needed for charging elsewhere. For a low-threshold start, browse our home EV chargers. We always recommend having the connection done by a certified installer, which is safer and important for your insurance. We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany.
How long does the Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh take to charge?
The sum: about 112 kWh usable battery divided by 11 kW comes to roughly 10 hours from empty to full. In practice, count on slightly more because of charging losses. Plug in around 22:00 and the car is full by morning. In daily use you rarely charge from 0 to 100 percent, so a top-up is usually quicker.

Wallbox Discounter also has charging information for the other versions of the Hongqi E-HS9:

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hongqi E-HS9 120 kWh charge faster with a 22 kW charger?
No. The onboard charger of the E-HS9 120 kWh accepts up to 11 kW AC. A 22 kW charger therefore does not charge this car faster at home. You only pay for power the car does not use. An 11 kW charger is the right choice for this version.
Why does a MID meter matter for the E-HS9 120 kWh?
With a built-in MID meter your charger records exactly how much power you charge at home. In the Netherlands you can earn back a fee for home charging from 2026 with a certified meter, worth roughly 10 cents per kWh. With the large 120 kWh battery, which draws a lot of power per session, that benefit adds up quickly. Outside the Netherlands the meter still helps when you settle charging with your employer or lease company.
