Best EV Chargers for the Chery E5 Urban
The Chery E5 Urban has a 7kW single-phase onboard charger and a 61.1kWh battery. A standard 7kW single-phase wallbox is the best match — it charges the E5 Urban from 20% to 80% in approximately 5h 14m. A 22kW charger will not charge faster because the E5 Urban's onboard charger limits AC input to 7kW.

Choosing a Charger for the Chery E5 Urban
Single-Phase Charging Explained
The Chery E5 Urban has a 7kW single-phase onboard charger. This means every home charger — whether rated at 7kW or 22kW — will deliver the same charging speed to your E5 Urban: approximately 7kW.
There is no benefit to buying a 22kW or three-phase charger for the E5 Urban unless you plan to upgrade to a three-phase EV in the future. A standard 7kW single-phase wallbox is the most cost-effective choice.
At 7kW, the E5 Urban's 61.1kWh battery charges from 20% to 80% in approximately 5h 14m. Overnight charging (8+ hours plugged in) comfortably covers a full day's driving for most commuters.
Solar Integration
If you have rooftop solar, a solar-integrated charger is the highest-value upgrade. Chargers like the myenergi Zappi and Fronius Wattpilot dynamically match charge rate to your surplus solar generation, so your E5 Urban charges for free during the day instead of buying grid power at 30¢+/kWh overnight.
With the E5 Urban's 61.1kWh battery, a typical 5kW solar system can add approximately 141km of range from 4 hours of midday surplus — enough for most daily commutes without touching the grid.
Installation Costs
A home EV charger installation in Australia typically costs $500–$1,500 in labour, on top of the charger price. Costs vary by switchboard complexity and cable run distance. Get at least two quotes. See our EV charger installation guide for a full breakdown.
Bundle with a Novated Lease
If you are novated leasing the Chery E5 Urban, you can bundle a home charger into the lease — paid from pre-tax salary. A $1,050 charger effectively costs $714 at the 32% marginal rate. See our novated lease charger bundling guide for details.
