GAC Aion V
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Aion V+−
The GAC Aion V has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.

Charging
the GAC Aion V.
The GAC Aion V is a mid-size electric SUV sold in the UK under the Aion brand, with the second-generation model arriving from 2025. It carries a 75.3kWh usable LFP battery, which brings the robustness and longevity associated with lithium iron phosphate chemistry, including a flatter discharge curve and better cold-weather retention compared with older NMC packs. The Aion V uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging, so the cable you bring to a home wallbox or public AC point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
On the AC side, the onboard charger supports 11kW on three phases. DC rapid charging reaches up to 180kW peak via the charger's own tethered CCS cable, with a 10 to 80 percent charge claimed in around 25 minutes. The Aion V also supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) at 3.3kW, a useful feature for outdoor power. Understanding the 11kW AC figure is what determines which cable grade actually makes a difference at home.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.

Which cable does
the Aion V need?
For home charging the Aion V needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Its onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases, but the vast majority of UK homes operate on a single-phase supply, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW whatever cable you plug in. At 7.4kW the 75.3kWh battery takes around ten and a half hours from empty, which fits well within an overnight charge. A 7.4kW cable is the right choice for almost every home installation.
The full 11kW rate is only available on a three-phase supply and a compatible charge point, which is rare in domestic settings but more common at some workplaces and public AC hubs. If you regularly use 11kW or 22kW AC charge points at work or when out, a three-phase cable gives the Aion V its maximum AC speed and is worth considering as your primary cable. For a straightforward home setup, the 7.4kW cable is all you need.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 75.3kWh battery from empty costs roughly £5.50 to £6 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £20 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. LFP batteries charge comfortably to 100 percent without the degradation concern that applies to NMC chemistry, so overnight charging to full is a straightforward habit. Public rapid charging is significantly more expensive per kWh and is best reserved for longer journeys. Check current tariff rates, as they change regularly.

GAC Aion V FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
Does the GAC Aion V support V2L?+−
Yes. The GAC Aion V supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so a V2L discharge cable lets you run tools, appliances and devices straight from the battery through the Type 2 inlet, at up to 3.6kW.
What charging cable does the GAC Aion V need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Aion V has a Type 2 AC inlet and an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. For most owners charging at home on a single-phase supply, a 7.4kW cable delivers the full speed available. On a three-phase supply a 22kW or 11kW cable lets the car reach its maximum 11kW AC rate.
How long does the GAC Aion V take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox the 75.3kWh battery takes around ten to eleven hours from empty, comfortably within an overnight window. On a three-phase 11kW supply that drops to around seven hours. Rapid DC charging at up to 180kW is considerably faster but uses a tethered cable at the rapid charge point, not one you supply.
Can the GAC Aion V charge at 22kW?+−
No. The onboard AC charger is rated to 11kW on three phases, so a 22kW cable will not make the car charge any faster than 11kW. On a standard single-phase home supply the cap is 7.4kW regardless of cable rating. A 22kW cable offers no advantage for the Aion V over a well-matched three-phase cable rated to 11kW or 16A.
What cable length do I need for the GAC Aion V?+−
A 5m cable is sufficient for most home driveways where the wallbox is close to where the car parks. Choose a 7m or 10m lead if the charge point is set back from your parking spot, if you park in a shared bay, or if the car may need to park in different orientations on different visits.
