How much could the T9 PHEV save you?

Please fill in the fields to let us know what your typical trip and driving distances look like and we’ll do the maths for you:

Savings are an estimate compared to a diesel equivalent ute, and assume the PHEV is charged overnight on an EV charging power plan. Fuel prices use recent NZ averages. These figures are based on the ute being unloaded and not towing.

Tested by Kiwis, for Kiwis.

Before launching new vehicles here in NZ our Kiwi-owned team put them through their paces… testing them by Kiwis, for Kiwis.

We reckon it’s important to be able to stand by our vehicles and know that they do what they say on the tin.

We did the same before launching JAC Light Trucks, and the JAC Diesel Ute, so it should come as no surprise that we’ve done the exact same with the JAC T9 PHEV Ute.

Cop a load of this!

PHEV FAQ

Got a question about the T9 PHEV Ute? Check out some of the details below:

PHEV = Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle

What does this mean?

It’s a vehicle combining the best of both worlds, there can be several different set-ups of how a PHEV works. JAC have picked an application to give the best Ute-performance possible for things such as towing and hauling.

The JAC T9 PHEV Ute combines a dual-electric motor set up, this is powered by the battery.

The battery can be charged in a few ways:

  • Plugging it in just like a normal EV, either at home, work or a public charging station
  • Charging the battery through the s 2L petrol engine
  • Regenerative charging through deceleration and braking

We’ve done the maths for you – please use our PHEV Calculator to estimate how much you could save by switching to a JAC T9 PHEV.

Use our calculator here

COMBINED (using both battery + petrol hybrid mode):

The NEDC range (a factory testing cycle that most Chinese brands use) is up to 1,005km. We reckon its important to mention that real-world figures can differ depending on driving style, conditions such as road surface and weather.

PURE EV (using EV only mode):

The NEDC range is up to 100km. We reckon its important to mention that real-world figures can differ depending on driving style, conditions such as road surface and weather.

The braked tow rating is 3.5T, and 750kg for un-braked trailers. The T9 PHEV has a Towing Mode that will change the vehicles performance settings to be optimised for towing.

The payload (how much you can put on/in the Ute) is 915kg.

You can charge the T9 PHEV using a range of options:

  • Charge at home using either a portable charger or install a home charger (the T9 PHEV comes with an included portable charger)
  • Charge at work or other places where EV chargers are installed (eg if you have a fleet vehicle that you drive to the office each day)
  • Charge at public stations using both AC or DC chargers

Charging a work vehicle at home? You can easily measure the amount of power you use to charge your T9 PHEV – your work can then reimburse you for costs, just as you would with fuel costs.

Did you know that you can get EV Power Plans with your power company? This will typically provide you with a lower cost of electricity overnight.

The JAC T9 PHEV has a built in function so you can schedule your charging to take place overnight and make the most of the off-peak lower electricity prices.

For all options, your local JAC team will be able to organise or recommend charging solutions to meet your needs.

Yes – the JAC T9 PHEV comes with a portable charger.

This is designed to plug into three pin power sockets in your home or other building plugs.

Your JAC team are also able to recommend other options such as home chargers, chargers in workplaces and more.

You might be quite surprised by how good the charging infrastructure in New Zealand is, especially around main cities and through the ‘electric highway’.

If you know you need to stop for a coffee break or pit stop, why not pick somewhere that has an EV charger, that way you can top up your EV range during your down time! Staying somewhere for a few hours or overnight? You can also top up charge with the portable charger that comes with the vehicle.

Failing that, you’ve got the back up of being able to top up on petrol to keep moving.

We recommend using the app www.plugshare.com or try out the map from NZTA at www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/ev-chargers

JAC has been building trucks for over 60 years. The heritage also includes success across EV Trucks which are supporting fleets such as DHL, Woolworths and more.

JAC has taken the knowledge of both its commercial vehicles and EV expertise and built a Ute that is designed to be a Ute first and foremost.

They’ve chosen a PHEV system that is designed for doing ‘ute-stuff’ including towing and hauling. One of the main ways this is achieved is through the 4-speed DHT gearbox that delivers power in the right bands for heavy lifting.

You can also calculate how much you could save with a JAC T9 PHEV using our savings calculator here.

Your local JAC team will be able to recommend and organise finance and/or lease options to suit your needs.

Some banks and lenders also offer lower rates for fuel efficient vehicles such as hybrids.

Please chat to our team to learn more.

The JAC T9 PHEV has a sharp launch price of only $59,990+orc. This price won’t last… so don’t be the mug who missed it!
