The Leapmotor T03 is equipped with a 37.3 kWh lithium-ion battery that requires special attention to maintain its condition. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the available charging options.
T03 Battery Specifications
- Capacity: 37.3 kWh (36 kWh usable)
- Type: LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) Lithium-ion battery
- WLTP Range: 265 km
- Urban Cycle Range: Up to 395 km
- Average Consumption: 11.6 kWh/100 km
Fast Charging (DC - Direct Current)
DC charging is the fastest and uses rapid charging stations:
- Power: 45 kW
- Time 30% → 80%: Approximately 36 minutes
- Time 0% → 100%: Approximately 60-70 minutes
- Availability: Public charging stations (Ionity, Tesla Supercharger, etc.)
Slow Charging (AC - Alternating Current)
AC charging is slower but can be done at home or at work:
Home Wallbox (6.6 kW - Single Phase)
- Full Charge Time 0% → 100%: Approximately 6-7 hours
- Recommended Power: 6.6 kW (32A)
- Installation: Recommended to be carried out by a certified electrician
Standard Home Socket (2.3 kW)
- Full Charge Time: 15-16 hours
- Availability: Practically everywhere
- Not Recommended: Prolonged use (overloads the system)
Practical Tips for Battery Health
- Avoid frequent full charges: Prefer to stop at 80%
- Do not fully discharge: Maintain at least 10-20% charge
- Slow charging is better: Slow AC charges are less stressful than DC
- Temperature: Preferably charge at moderate temperatures (15-25°C)
- Scheduling: Many T03 BMS allow programming of overnight charging
Charging Costs
The average consumption of 11.6 kWh/100 km means:
- 100 km costs approximately £1.70 with domestic electricity at £0.15/kWh
- 100 km costs approximately £0.80 with a DC charging station at £0.07/kWh
Battery Maintenance
- Periodically check the health status (Health)
- Do not expose to extreme temperatures for extended periods
- In case of prolonged inactivity: charge to 50% every 2-3 weeks
