When Chery's Omoda brand unveiled the E5 at Auto Shanghai in April 2023, few expected this Chinese newcomer would be shaking up Europe's electric SUV market just two years later. Yet here we are in 2025, and the Omoda E5 has become one of the most intriguing success stories in the European EV landscape - not because it's the fastest, the most luxurious, or the longest-range, but because it offers something increasingly rare: genuine value wrapped in modern design, backed by technology that actually works (1). The numbers tell a compelling story. In the first seven months of 2025, Omoda and its sister brand Jaecoo combined for over 47,000 sales across Europe, putting them ahead of established players like Honda and Mitsubishi (2). In the UK alone, where the brand launched in August 2024, Omoda captured 2.7% of the market by July 2025, a remarkable achievement for a brand most British buyers had never heard of just 12 months earlier (3). But here's what really caught our attention at Ampere Point: while everyone focuses on the E5's competitive £33,055 starting price or its BYD Blade battery technology, there's a more fundamental question that every potential owner needs to answer first. How are you going to charge this thing at home? And more importantly, are you going to waste the E5's charging potential with inadequate home infrastructure, or will you unlock its full capability? Let's dig deep into everything you need to know about charging the Omoda E5 - from the technical specifications that matter, to the real-world charging times you can expect, to which of our Ampere Point chargers will serve you best. But Let's Start With the Basics: What Exactly Is the Omoda E5? Before we dive into charging specifics, let's establish what we're dealing with. The Omoda E5 is a compact electric SUV measuring 4,424mm in length - slightly smaller than a BYD Atto 3 but larger than an MG4. It sits in that sweet spot between affordable and aspirational, targeting buyers who want modern EV technology without paying premium brand prices (4). Under the sculpted exterior lies a 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery - specifically, a BYD Blade battery, which has become something of a gold standard for safety and longevity in the EV world. This battery powers a single front-mounted electric motor producing 150 kW (204 HP) and 340 Nm of torque, delivering a 0-100 km/h time of 7.6 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 172 km/h (5). The official WLTP range sits at 414-430 km (257-267 miles), depending on the market and specification. Real-world testing by various outlets consistently shows efficiency around 3.5-3.8 miles per kWh, translating to realistic range of 220-235 miles in mixed driving conditions (6). As of early 2025, the Omoda E5 is available across multiple European markets: United Kingdom: £33,055-34,550 (Comfort and Noble trims) Poland: 169,900 PLN Spain: Launch market, pricing around €35,000-40,000 Italy, Germany, Portugal: Expanding through 2025 All models come with a comprehensive 7-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty - significantly longer than most European rivals (7). The Battery Story: Why BYD's Blade Technology Matters Here's where the Omoda E5 gets interesting from a technical perspective. While many affordable EVs use conventional pouch or cylindrical battery cells, the E5 employs BYD's Blade battery technology. This isn't just marketing fluff - it represents a fundamentally different approach to battery design. Traditional lithium-ion batteries use nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistry. BYD's Blade batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which offers several key advantages. LFP batteries are inherently more stable thermally, meaning they're less prone to thermal runaway - the phenomenon that causes battery fires. They also tend to have longer cycle lives, maintaining capacity better over hundreds of thousands of charging cycles (8). The "Blade" designation refers to the physical shape of the cells - long, thin prismatic cells that are directly integrated into the battery pack structure, eliminating the need for separate modules. This design increases volumetric energy density while reducing weight and complexity. What does this mean for charging? LFP batteries can typically handle being charged to 100% regularly without the same degradation concerns as NMC batteries. They also perform better in hot climates, though they do lose more capacity in extreme cold compared to NMC (9). The E5's battery has a total capacity of 61.1 kWh, with 60.7 kWh usable - that's 99% utilization, which is exceptional. Most EVs reserve 5-10% of battery capacity as a buffer (10). Interestingly, while the E5 is built by Chery, the battery itself comes from BYD - a strategic choice that speaks to BYD's dominance in battery manufacturing. The same cells power BYD's own vehicles like the Atto 3 and Seal, giving the Omoda E5 a technological foundation shared with some of China's best-selling EVs (11). AC Charging: The Numbers That Actually Matter Now let's talk about what really determines your home charging experience: the onboard AC charger specifications. The Omoda E5 comes equipped with an onboard AC charger rated at 9.9 kW for three-phase charging and 6.6 kW for single-phase (12). This is where we need to pause and address a common point of confusion. Many European publications and even some official materials round this up to "11 kW" for simplicity. Technically, 9.9 kW on three-phase power means the car is drawing 16A per phase at 400V, which is the European standard for "three-phase 16A" installations. A true 11 kW charger would draw slightly more current, but the practical difference is negligible (13). What does this mean in real charging times? Single-Phase 230V Charging (6.6 kW): 0-100%: approximately 9.5 hours 10-80%: approximately 7 hours Adds roughly 40 km of range per hour Three-Phase 400V Charging (9.9 kW): 0-100%: approximately 6-7 hours 10-80%: approximately 4.5-5 hours Adds roughly 60 km of range per hour These figures assume ideal conditions - ambient temperature around 20°C, battery conditioning enabled, and no significant electrical losses. In winter, you might see these times increase by 15-20% as the battery management system works to bring the pack up to optimal charging temperature (14). Here's something critical that many reviews miss: the E5's AC charging rate is actually quite competitive when you compare it to direct rivals. The MG ZS EV charges at 11 kW, the BYD Atto 3 at 11 kW, but the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona Electric? Also 11 kW. The difference between 9.9 kW and 11 kW in the real world is about 20 minutes on a full charge - hardly a deal-breaker (15). The charging port is located at the front of the vehicle, behind a motorized flap that opens with a button press from inside the cabin or via the key fob. This front-mounted position is clever for public charging, as it means you can nose into charging bays and don't need to worry about cable length. For home charging, it's completely neutral - your cable will reach regardless (16). The port itself is a combined CCS2 connector, handling both AC (Type 2) and DC (CCS) charging through the same inlet. You'll see two sets of pins - the upper Type 2 pins for AC charging, and the lower two large pins for DC fast charging. DC Fast Charging: The Reality Check While we're primarily focused on home charging in this guide, it's worth understanding the E5's DC capabilities to get the complete picture. The Omoda E5 supports DC fast charging up to 80 kW. This is, candidly, the car's Achilles heel in 2025. Many new EVs in this price range now support 100-150 kW charging, which translates to meaningfully faster charging stops on long journeys (17). Omoda quotes a 30-80% charging time of 28 minutes at peak power. Note they use 30-80% rather than the more common 10-80% - a bit of marketing sleight-of-hand that makes the number look better. In practice, a 10-80% charge will take closer to 40-45 minutes at a typical 80 kW rapid charger (18). The charging curve is fairly typical for an LFP battery: it holds peak power longer than NMC batteries (you'll see 75-80 kW sustained from 10-50%), but then the taper is quite aggressive above 70%. By 80%, you're down to around 30-35 kW, and it really crawls after 85% (19). For context: a BYD Atto 3 charges at the same 80 kW peak. An MG4 charges at 87-117 kW depending on version. A Hyundai Kona Electric hits 102 kW. A Tesla Model 3? 250 kW peak, though it rarely sustains that in practice. Does this matter? It depends on your use case. For daily driving where you're charging at home overnight, DC charging speed is largely irrelevant. It only becomes an issue on longer trips where you need to rapid charge. And even then, 80 kW is perfectly adequate - you'll be taking a 30-35 minute break anyway after 3-4 hours of driving (20). Home Charging Infrastructure: What You Need Here's where we get practical. To charge the Omoda E5 at home, you have two fundamental options, each with very different implications for charging speed and convenience. Option 1: Standard 230V Socket (3.7 kW Max) Every Omoda E5 comes with a portable charging cable that plugs into a standard domestic 13A socket (UK) or Schuko socket (Europe). This is often called "granny charging" in the UK. Specifications: Power: 3.7 kW (16A, single-phase) Full charge time: 16-17 hours (10-100%) Range added per hour: ~22 km When this works: Very light use: under 30 km per day Emergency/backup charging only Occasional EV use The problems: About 20% of domestic electrical installations in Europe have issues that can prevent safe EV charging - reversed polarity, inadequate earthing, undersized wiring, or loose connections. These problems might not affect your kettle or phone charger, but they absolutely matter when you're pulling 3.7 kW continuously for 16 hours (21). Quality portable chargers (including ours) will detect these issues and refuse to charge, protecting both your car and your home's electrical system. This is why "granny charging" often fails - not because the charger is faulty, but because the home's electrical system isn't up to the task of sustained high current draw. Our recommendation: Domestic socket charging should be a last resort, not your primary charging method. It's too slow for regular use with a 61 kWh battery, and it places unnecessary stress on your home's electrical system. Option 2: Dedicated EV Charging Circuit (7.4-11 kW) This is the proper solution for home EV charging. A qualified electrician installs a dedicated 32A circuit (for 7.4 kW single-phase) or a 16A three-phase circuit (for 11 kW), terminated with either a CEE industrial socket or a wall-mounted charging unit. Three-Phase 400V Options: Small CEE Socket (16A): Power: 11 kW Full charge time: 6-7 hours Range added per hour: ~60 km Compatible with: Q11, P11 Large CEE Socket (32A): Power: 22 kW maximum Full charge time: N/A (E5 limited to 9.9 kW) Range added per hour: ~60 km (E5 limited by onboard charger) Compatible with: Q22 (but overkill for E5) Single-Phase 230V Option: Standard CEE Socket (32A): Power: 7.4 kW Full charge time: 8-9 hours Range added per hour: ~45 km Compatible with: Q74 Critical consideration: The Omoda E5's onboard charger maxes out at 9.9 kW. This means even if you install a 22 kW charger, you'll only ever draw 9.9 kW. The car's onboard charger is the limiting factor, not your home charging equipment (22). Therefore, for the E5, the ideal home charging solution is either: 11 kW three-phase (Q11/P11) - fully utilizes the car's capability 7.4 kW single-phase (Q74) - adequate but not ideal 3.7 kW single-phase (Q37) - too slow for a 61 kWh battery Which Ampere Point Charger Should You Choose for the Omoda E5? Now we get to the heart of the matter: which of our portable chargers makes the most sense for your Omoda E5? Let's be clear about one thing upfront: the Omoda E5 has a 9.9 kW onboard charger. To use this fully, you need three-phase power and an 11 kW-capable portable charger. Anything less means you're not utilizing your car's full charging potential. Recommended Option: Q11 (11 kW Portable Charger) Technical Specifications: Power: 11 kW (3-phase, 16A, 400V) Cable: 6 meters integrated Type 2 cable (option: 7.5m with adapters) Socket required: CEE 16A three-phase (red, 5-pin) Charging time for E5: 6-7 hours (0-100%) WiFi app: Yes (Tuya platform) Display: 2.4" LCD Features: Adjustable current, scheduling, energy tracking, temperature monitoring Protection: IP66/IK10 rating, can withstand car weight Warranty: Standard Ampere Point warranty Why Q11 is ideal for the E5: Fully utilizes charging capability: The E5's 9.9 kW charger works perfectly with 11 kW supply Future-proof: If you upgrade to a 22 kW-capable EV later, you're ready WiFi connectivity: Monitor and control charging through your smartphone Portable: Take it with you on trips for flexible charging Temperature sensors in both the charger and the power plug monitor for overheating Charging calculation: 60.7 kWh usable / 9.9 kW = 6.1 hours theoretical Real-world: 6.5-7 hours (accounting for charging losses and battery management) Price: Q11 Product Link Alternative: Q11 with Adapter Set If you're unsure about your electrical installation, or want maximum flexibility, consider the Q11 with our smart adapter system. This version includes adapters for both three-phase CEE (11 kW) and standard Schuko sockets (3.7 kW), allowing you to charge at full speed at home and use regular sockets when traveling or in emergencies. Adapters included: CEE 16A (three-phase) Schuko (standard 230V) This means one charger, maximum flexibility. Price: Q11 with Adapters Product Link Alternative Option: P11 (11 kW Portable Charger) Technical Specifications: Power: 11 kW (3-phase, 16A, 400V) Cable: 6 meters integrated Type 2 cable Socket required: CEE 16A three-phase Charging time for E5: 6-7 hours (0-100%) WiFi app: No Display: 2.4" LCD Features: Adjustable current, timer delay, non-resettable energy meter Protection: IP65/IK10 rating Warranty: Standard Ampere Point warranty Why P11 makes sense: Same charging performance as Q11: Both deliver 11 kW Lower price point: No WiFi means lower cost Simpler operation: LCD display, physical buttons, no app required Equally portable: Same form factor, comes with mounting hardware The key difference: Q11 vs P11 Let's be crystal clear about this: both are portable chargers. Neither requires permanent wall installation. Both can serve as wallboxes if you choose to mount them, but both can also be unplugged and taken with you. The only real differences: Q11 has WiFi app control and monitoring Q11 has smart adapter option for maximum flexibility P11 is simpler and typically lower cost P11 has a non-resettable energy meter vs Q11's WiFi-based tracking For the Omoda E5, either one will fully utilize the car's 9.9 kW charging capability. The choice comes down to whether you value app connectivity and adapter flexibility (Q11) or prefer simplicity and lower cost (P11). Price: P11 Product Link Budget Option: Q74 (7.4 kW) Technical Specifications: Power: 7.4 kW (1-phase, 32A, 230V) Cable: 6 meters integrated Type 2 cable Socket required: CEE 32A single-phase (red) Charging time for E5: 8-9 hours (0-100%) WiFi app: Yes Features: Full Q-Series features but single-phase When Q74 makes sense: You don't have three-phase power available Your daily driving is under 100 km Overnight charging is sufficient Important limitation: The Q74 charges at 7.4 kW while the E5 can accept 9.9 kW. You're leaving performance on the table. For a 61 kWh battery, we really don't recommend going below 11 kW charging if you can avoid it (23). Price: Q74 Product Link What About Q22? We occasionally get asked about the Q22 (22 kW) for the Omoda E5. Here's the simple answer: it's complete overkill. The E5's onboard charger maxes out at 9.9 kW. A Q22 can deliver 22 kW, but the E5 will only use 9.9 kW of it. You'd be paying for 22 kW capability while using less than half of it. Save your money. Buy the Q11 or P11. Exception: If you're planning to buy a 22 kW-capable EV in the near future (like a BMW iX1 with optional 22 kW charger, or future Kia EV3 versions), then a Q22 makes sense as a future-proof investment. But for the E5 alone? No. Real-World Charging Scenarios Let's look at some practical examples of how charging works in daily use: Scenario 1: Urban Commuter (50 km daily) Profile: Daily commute: 25 km each way Charging: Every night at home Infrastructure: Three-phase CEE 16A socket, Q11 charger Reality: You arrive home with ~30 kW used (50 km / 3.6 mi/kWh = ~30 kWh). Plugging in the Q11: Time needed: 30 kWh / 9.9 kW = 3 hours Plug in at 7 PM, fully charged by 10 PM Most charging happens in cheap night-rate electricity Battery never drops below 50%, maximizing longevity Verdict: Perfectly suited. 11 kW charging is actually overkill for this use case, but it gives you flexibility for weekend trips. Scenario 2: Weekend Road Tripper (500 km round trips) Profile: Weekend trips: 250 km each way, twice per month Daily use: 30 km weekdays Charging: Home three-phase + occasional DC rapid charging Reality: After a 250 km trip, you've used ~70 kWh (accounting for highway efficiency). You arrive home Sunday evening with 5-10% battery. Plugging in the Q11: Need to replace: ~55 kWh (to get to 95%) Time needed: 55 kWh / 9.9 kW = 5.5 hours Plug in at 8 PM, ready by 1:30 AM Back to full for Monday morning commute On the outbound trip, one 30-minute DC charging stop adds ~40 kWh (enough for the return journey plus margin). Verdict: The 9.9 kW home charging is adequate but you'll appreciate having 11 kW capability for faster top-ups after trips. Scenario 3: High-Mileage User (150 km daily) Profile: Sales job: 150 km average daily Charging: Home every night, must be ready by 7 AM Reality: You use ~42 kWh daily (150 km / 3.6 mi/kWh). With Q11: Charging time: 42 kWh / 9.9 kW = 4.2 hours Plug in at 10 PM, fully charged by 2:30 AM Plenty of margin before 7 AM departure With Q74 (7.4 kW): Charging time: 42 kWh / 7.4 kW = 5.7 hours Tighter schedule, less margin for delays Would work but not comfortably Verdict: For high-mileage use, 11 kW charging (Q11/P11) is strongly recommended. The Q74 would work but leaves little margin for error. Installation Considerations Getting the proper infrastructure installed is critical to maximizing your E5's charging potential. Here's what you need to know: Electrical Requirements for 11 kW Charging Prerequisites: Three-phase power supply to your property (400V) 16A capacity per phase (dedicated circuit) Proper earthing system RCD protection appropriate for EV charging What the electrician needs to install: A dedicated 16A three-phase circuit breaker in your distribution board Appropriate cable run (typically 5x2.5mm² for up to 20m) CEE 16A three-phase socket (red, 5-pin) at charging location Type A RCD + DC protection (or combined Type B RCD) Cost considerations: Installation costs vary dramatically based on: Distance from electrical panel to charging location Whether you have three-phase already Any upgrades needed to your main service Local electrician rates Typical range in Europe: €500-1,500 for a straightforward installation. If you need to upgrade your service from single-phase to three-phase, add €1,000-3,000 depending on your utility and local regulations (24). Can You Use Solar Panels with the Omoda E5? Absolutely, and it's one of the best ways to maximize the value of EV ownership. The Q11's WiFi connectivity includes solar charging optimization features. How it works: The Q11 can be set to charge only during solar production hours Adjust charging current to match available solar power Smart scheduling ensures you charge when your panels are producing excess power Realistic expectations: A typical 5 kW residential solar array in Central Europe produces ~4,500-5,000 kWh annually. If you charge 30 kWh per week (150 km), that's 1,560 kWh yearly - about 30-35% of your annual solar production. Solar charging won't eliminate your electricity costs, but it can significantly reduce them while ensuring your driving is genuinely zero-emission (25). Charging Costs: What to Expect While we generally avoid going deep into cost calculations in our guides, understanding the basic economics helps inform your charging infrastructure choices. UK Example (Jan 2025): Off-peak electricity: ~£0.08-0.10/kWh Peak electricity: ~£0.25-0.30/kWh Full charge cost (61 kWh): £4.88-6.10 (off-peak) / £15.25-18.30 (peak) Poland Example (Jan 2025): Taryfa G12w nocna: ~0.70 zł/kWh Taryfa dzienna: ~1.20 zł/kWh Full charge cost (61 kWh): 42.70 zł (night) / 73.20 zł (day) The message is clear: time-of-use tariffs make an enormous difference. The Q11's scheduling features let you automatically charge during the cheapest rate periods, maximizing your savings (26). Battery Care and Longevity One of the advantages of the Omoda E5's LFP battery chemistry is reduced sensitivity to charging habits. Unlike NMC batteries where charging to 100% regularly can accelerate degradation, LFP batteries tolerate full charges better. Best practices: Charge to 100% when needed (LFP handles it fine) No need to obsess over keeping charge between 20-80% Do avoid leaving the battery at very low states of charge for extended periods Winter preconditioning helps - the E5 can warm the battery before charging Expected longevity: LFP batteries typically retain 85-90% capacity after 200,000 km / 1,500 charge cycles. The E5's 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty reflects confidence in this technology. Real-world data from BYD vehicles using similar Blade batteries supports these projections (27). The charger you use matters less than you might think for battery health - modern EVs manage charging at the battery level, regardless of input power. What matters more is charging frequency, depth of discharge, and temperature management, all of which the E5 handles automatically. Comparisons with Rivals It's worth putting the E5's charging capabilities in context by comparing with direct competitors: MG ZS EV (Long Range): AC charging: 11 kW DC charging: 94 kW Battery: 72.6 kWh (Long Range) Verdict: Slightly faster DC, larger battery, but comparable AC performance BYD Atto 3 (Extended Range): AC charging: 11 kW DC charging: 88 kW Battery: 60.5 kWh Verdict: Nearly identical specs to E5, 8 kW faster DC Hyundai Kona Electric: AC charging: 11 kW DC charging: 102 kW Battery: 65.4 kWh Verdict: Faster DC charging, slightly larger battery Volvo EX30: AC charging: 11 kW DC charging: 153 kW (Extended Range) Battery: 69 kWh Verdict: Much faster DC charging, premium pricing What's notable? Every one of these cars has 11 kW AC charging. It's become the de facto standard for this segment. The E5's 9.9 kW is close enough to make no practical difference for home charging. The real differentiator is DC charging speed, where the E5's 80 kW puts it at the slower end of the current crop (28). For home charging purposes, the E5 is perfectly competitive with its rivals. Tests and Owner Opinions Since launching in Europe in 2024, the Omoda E5 has been thoroughly tested by automotive journalists across the continent. While our focus is charging infrastructure, it's instructive to see how the car performs in real-world use: UK Reviews (Autocar, What Car?, Electrifying): Reviewers consistently praise the E5's value proposition - loads of equipment for £33,000 - while noting some rough edges. The ride quality is often described as "firm," and there's occasional torque steer under hard acceleration. Efficiency results were impressive, with most testers achieving 3.5-3.8 miles per kWh in mixed driving, closely matching official claims (30). One consistent comment: the E5 "doesn't quite have the polish" of established European rivals like the Skoda Enyaq or Hyundai Kona Electric. But for £5,000-10,000 less, many reviewers concluded it represents genuine value. European Market Reception: In Spain and Italy, where the E5 launched first, initial sales exceeded expectations. The combination of competitive pricing, 7-year warranty, and BYD's battery reputation resonated with buyers looking for affordable EV entry points (31). Real-World Efficiency: Winter testing in the UK (temperatures around 5-10°C) showed range dropped to around 220-230 miles - about 15% below the WLTP figure. This is actually better than many rivals with NMC batteries, as LFP maintains efficiency better in cold weather, though it does lose more absolute capacity (32). Charging Experience Reports: Owner forums and early reviews note that the 9.9 kW AC charging works as advertised - full charge overnight from empty is consistently achieved in 6-7 hours with proper three-phase infrastructure. The 80 kW DC charging receives more criticism, with users noting that highway trips require longer charging stops than competitors (33). The Bottom Line: Home Charging Strategy for the Omoda E5 After diving deep into the technical specifications, real-world performance, and our own product range, here's our recommendation for Omoda E5 owners: Essential Infrastructure: Install a three-phase 16A circuit with CEE socket for 11 kW charging capability. This fully utilizes the E5's 9.9 kW onboard charger and provides headroom for future EVs with higher charging rates. Optimal Charger: The Q11 portable charger is our top recommendation for the Omoda E5. It matches the car's charging capability perfectly, offers WiFi connectivity for scheduling and monitoring, and provides genuine portability for travel. The option to add our smart adapter system gives maximum flexibility. If you prefer simpler operation and don't need app connectivity, the P11 delivers identical charging performance at a lower price point. Budget Alternative: If three-phase power isn't available, the Q74 (7.4 kW single-phase) is workable but leaves you somewhat under-utilizing the car's capability. For a 61 kWh battery, we really prefer 11 kW charging. What to Avoid: Don't rely on standard 3.7 kW "granny charging" as your primary method. It's simply too slow for a battery this size. And definitely don't spend extra on a Q22 - the E5 can't use the additional power. The Omoda E5 represents an interesting proposition in Europe's EV market - a genuinely affordable electric SUV with solid technology and a long warranty. While it may not be the most exciting or fastest-charging option, it delivers the fundamentals well. Paired with the right home charging infrastructure (our Q11 or P11), you'll have a practical, economical electric vehicle that serves daily needs admirably. The real secret to successful EV ownership isn't the car itself - it's having the right charging infrastructure at home. Get that right, and the Omoda E5 becomes a compelling value proposition. Get it wrong, and you'll find yourself frustrated by slow charging and range anxiety. Choose wisely. Charge smartly. Drive electrically.
