Cheaper to run
Charging an electric vehicle is generally more affordable than filling up a petrol or diesel car, helping to lower overall running costs.
JAECOO ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Discover the benefits of electric driving.
Why choose an EV?
Government grants
The government continues to offer financial support for home charger installations for certain individuals.
Tax benefits
Electric vehicles benefit from reduced taxes, including both Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and Benefit in Kind (BIK).
Living with an EV
An electric vehicle might be the right option for you, even if you haven’t thought about it before. Read on to learn more about what it’s like to live with an EV.
Charge time
70,000 charge points
There are more than 70,000 public charge points in the UK, and that’s growing every day
Home charging in under 5h
Most home chargers have an output of approximately 7kW, which means charging from 30% to 80% in 4.2 hours.
3-Pin Plug
You can charge using a conventional 3-pin plug, but this is the slowest way to charge and will take around 10 hours from 30% to 80%.
JAECOO x Ascent
We have partnered with Ascent Energy Services to offer customers a state of the art, JAECOO-branded, home charger.

Discover about about the appBattery life
Electric vehicles combine efficient performance with long-term reliability. Discover how battery care, warranty coverage, and smart charging enhance everyday driving.
1
Battery warranty
Our batteries come with a class-leading warranty, offering coverage for up to eight years or 100,000 miles to ensure lasting reliability and peace of mind.
2
Confidence and reassurance
This means any qualifying defects will be repaired or the battery replaced at no cost within the eight-year warranty period, restoring its capacity to at least 70% of the original level.
3
How to extend battery life
You can extend battery life by charging to around 80% for everyday use. Of course, you can still charge to 100% when you need the full range.

Elements that influence driving range
Several factors can affect your driving range—some within your control and others not. Knowing them helps you make the most of every journey.
Air con and Heating
Preconditioning the car while it’s plugged in helps maximise your available range.
Cold Weather Impact
In extreme cold or heat, range may drop as the vehicle uses additional energy to regulate the battery temperature.
Driving Style
High speeds, along with rapid acceleration and harsh braking, can reduce driving range.
Vehicle Load
Carrying additional passengers or luggage adds weight, which can reduce driving range.
Drive further for less
Electric vehicles cost far less to run than petrol or diesel cars. At 8p/kWh, charging the JAECOO EV would cost about £4.88(0–100%) or £2.44 (30–80%).
Cut charging costs with an EV tariff
Some energy providers offer EV tariffs with cheaper off-peak electricity, significantly reducing charging costs. This can make running an EV far more affordable, with cost per mile much lower than petrol or diesel.
Save more with smart charging
Using the JAECOO app, you can schedule charging to coincide with the lower electricity costs. You could also save money with an EV via lower tax, local incentives such as free parking, and reduced servicing and maintenance costs.
