{"product_id":"jaecoo-8-charging-cable","title":"Jaecoo 8 Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jaecoo 8 SHS-P is an odd and interesting thing to buy a cable for. It carries a \u003cstrong\u003e34.5 kWh battery\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is bigger than the entire battery of some small electric cars, and it delivers 83 miles of electric range, enough that plenty of owners will rarely trouble the petrol engine. But the onboard charger is a plug-in hybrid's charger: \u003cstrong\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. An EV-sized battery on a modest charger means this is the slowest-filling plug-in hybrid Jaecoo sells, and the cable you pick matters more than on the 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right cable is our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2\u003c\/a\u003e. A 32A cable carries 7.4 kW so the car takes its full 6.6 kW, filling from empty in about six hours and adding roughly 16 electric miles per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 16A cable is a false economy on this car specifically. Capped at 3.7 kW you are looking at ten and a half hours for a full charge and only nine electric miles per hour. On the smaller Jaecoo 7 that trade-off is arguable. On a 34.5 kWh battery it is not: you would struggle to fill the car inside an off-peak window and the whole benefit of the large battery would go unused most nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA three-phase cable does nothing here. The ceiling is 6.6 kW, far below the point where three phases become relevant, so the 3-Phase 32A cable is capability you cannot access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest observation about efficiency. The 8 is a seven-seat all-wheel-drive SUV with 428PS, and it returns around 2.4 miles per kWh, the lowest figure of any chargeable Jaecoo. That is why 34.5 kWh yields 83 miles rather than the 140 or so the same battery would give a small hatchback. It does not change your cable, but it does explain why charge times look long relative to the range you get back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e takes about seventeen hours from empty here, which is beyond a single night. On the 7 SHS-P we would call a 3-pin cable a viable primary method. On the 8 it is better thought of as a boot spare for visits and holidays, with a proper wallbox doing the daily work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8 is a large vehicle at over 4.8 metres. 5m is rarely enough unless the charge point is immediately beside the flap, and most owners are better served by 10m, or 15m and 20m for detached garages and awkward driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere in the range: the smaller \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jaecoo-7-charging-cable\"\u003eJaecoo 7 SHS-P\u003c\/a\u003e, and the fully electric \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jaecoo-e5-charging-cable\"\u003eJaecoo E5\u003c\/a\u003e, which is the only Jaecoo that can use more than 6.6 kW.

Both cars accept 6.6 kW, but the 8 holds 34.5 kWh against the 7's 18.3 kWh. Same rate of flow, nearly double the volume, so about six hours instead of three and a quarter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWith 83 electric miles, will I ever need the petrol engine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor daily driving, quite possibly not, which is unusual for a plug-in hybrid. That only holds if you charge it, though. Six hours on a 32A cable means an overnight charge is comfortable, whereas a 16A cable at ten and a half hours will often leave you setting off part-charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs 6.6 kW a limitation on a battery this size?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the honest weak point of the car. A 34.5 kWh battery would normally sit behind an 11 kW charger, which would fill it in about three and a half hours. At 6.6 kW you are tied to a six hour charge whatever cable you buy. Nothing you purchase can raise that ceiling, so the aim is simply to reach it, which the 32A cable does and the 16A does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the six-seat Executive charge differently from the seven-seat Luxury?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Same 34.46 kWh battery, same 6.6 kW charger, same Type 2 inlet. Seating layout has no bearing on charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a wallbox worth installing for a Jaecoo 8?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, more clearly than for most plug-in hybrids. The gap between a wallbox at 6.6 kW and a domestic socket at 2.3 kW is six hours against seventeen on this battery. If you intend to use the 83 mile electric range routinely, a proper charge point is close to essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I share one cable between a Jaecoo 8 and a Jaecoo 7?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with no compromise. Both are Type 2 and both cap at 6.6 kW, so a single 32A cable serves both at full speed. Buy for the longer car: a length that reaches on the 8 will certainly reach on the 7.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ev Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49092173463735,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-JAECOO-8","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49092173496503,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-JAECOO-8","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49092173529271,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-JAECOO-8","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49092173562039,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-JAECOO-8","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49092173594807,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-JAECOO-8","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":49092173627575,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-JAECOO-8","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":49092173660343,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-JAECOO-8","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":49092173693111,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-JAECOO-8","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49092173725879,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-JAECOO-8-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":49092173758647,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-JAECOO-8-V2","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9667\/1671\/files\/790f9913fecb30acdd2238e6bcc5d986_761361ab-b08b-487f-a905-d5d1e4b4cc44.jpg?v=1787984353","url":"https:\/\/www.evcableshop.co.uk\/products\/jaecoo-8-charging-cable","provider":"EV Cable Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
