GWM home EV chargers
Compare home charger options for GWM electric vehicles including the Ora.
GWM's Australian electric range is changing. Dealer stock of the Ora hatch is almost sold out, while the new ORA 5 is arriving in Australia.
The current Australian ORA 5 specification lists a CCS2 charging connection and a maximum AC charging rate of 6.6 kW. This differs from earlier Ora models, so an older 11 kW charging figure should not be carried across to the new ORA 5.
The right home charger therefore depends on the exact GWM model and model year as well as the home's electrical capacity, solar setup and charging needs. Installing a wallbox with a higher rating than the vehicle's onboard AC limit will not make that vehicle charge faster.

GWM EV charging FAQs
What home charger suits a current GWM electric vehicle?
Match the charger to the exact vehicle rather than the GWM badge alone. The current Australian ORA 5 has a maximum AC charging rate of 6.6 kW, so a higher-rated wallbox will still be limited by the vehicle. Your home supply, solar setup, cable preference and load-management requirements also affect the right installation.
What charging connection does the GWM ORA 5 use?
GWM Australia's current ORA 5 brochure lists a CCS2 charging socket. CCS2 incorporates the Type 2 interface used for AC charging, while the additional DC contacts are used for public DC fast charging.
How fast can I charge the GWM ORA 5 at home?
The current Australian ORA 5 specification lists AC charging at up to 6.6 kW. Actual charging power can be lower depending on the wallbox, property supply, charger configuration and other electrical limits.
Will an 11 kW or 22 kW wallbox charge the ORA 5 faster?
Not above the vehicle's own AC limit. The current ORA 5 is specified at up to 6.6 kW AC, so installing an 11 kW or 22 kW wallbox does not make the vehicle accept 11 kW or 22 kW. A higher-capacity charger may still be chosen for other vehicles or household requirements, subject to the property's electrical capacity.
Can I charge my GWM from a regular power point?
Yes, where suitable portable charging equipment is available for the vehicle and the power point is appropriate for EV charging. A standard Australian power point is much slower than a dedicated charger and typically provides up to about 2.4 kW. Do not use extension leads or power boards, and have the electrical setup checked by a licensed electrician if you are unsure.
