Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation	10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (135 kW)	~ 50
At a 150 kW charger	~ 50
At a 50 kW charger	~ 134

How is this calculated?

We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

How long does fast-charging the Hongqi E-HS9 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 50 minutes on a 135 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

99 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

Practical figures

From 75,000 euro, indicative (as of 2026-01-01). No offer, no sale through this site. The quoted values come from the manufacturer and open registers, not our own tests. A per-category score appears as soon as a traceable source is available. Trim, options and weight differ between versions. Verify the exact specs with the manufacturer.
