PHEV battery — Jaecoo 7

The traction battery in a Jaecoo 7 PHEV is much smaller than in a fully electric car — its job is to provide a few dozen kilometers of electric-only driving, not hundreds of kilometers of range.

What this means in practice

• A smaller battery means a lower cost if it ever needs replacing than a full EV's, but also less electric-only range
• The combustion engine acts as the main power source on longer trips, with the battery mainly helping around town

Diagnosing a PHEV battery fault needs specialist equipment — if you suspect a problem, an authorized Jaecoo service center is the right first step.
