TL;DR
4.4 kWh battery, 2-hour AC charge, 187 km range, Not supported (AC only) DC fast charging. Home charging covers 80–90% of all energy; fast charging covers the rest.
If you only read one document before buying a Oben Electric Rorr, make it this one. The 2-hour AC charge cycle for the 4.4 kWh battery and the 187 km range are the three numbers that decide whether the car fits your week. We unpack them.
Home charging the Oben Electric Rorr
Most Oben Electric Rorr owners install a wall box on day one, and it pays for itself within a year on tariff savings alone. The Oben Electric Rorr accepts standard AC at home and completes a full empty-to-full cycle in roughly 2 hours. For the typical owner, that translates to plugging in around 30% remaining at night and waking up to a full battery. Per-km charging cost on a standard residential tariff comes out far below an equivalent petrol car, and on off-peak time-of-use plans the gap widens further. Set the daily ceiling to 80% — that single discipline keeps the 4.4 kWh battery healthier for longer.
Fast charging the Oben Electric Rorr
DC fast charging on the Oben Electric Rorr is the get-out-of-jail-free card for long trips, road trips, and the occasional bad-planning day. The Oben Electric Rorr supports DC fast charging with a typical session profile of Not supported (AC only), which is what you'll use on road trips and the occasional bad-planning day. Plan long trips around natural stops — coffee, lunch, restroom — so the charge happens in parallel with something you'd do anyway. 187 km of range plus one DC stop is enough for almost any single-day journey within the country.
Oben Electric Rorr battery longevity
Battery health on the Oben Electric Rorr is largely about your daily routine, not big interventions. Avoid leaving the 4.4 kWh pack at very low or very high state of charge for long periods. Pre-condition before fast charging in cold weather — the battery accepts higher current when warm, which means a shorter session and less heat stress. Oben Electric's battery management system on the Oben Electric Rorr is conservative by design, so most owners who follow basic charging hygiene see minimal degradation over the first three to four years.
Practical next steps
Install a 7 kW wall box (or the highest your home supply allows) for the Oben Electric Rorr. Standard 3-pin sockets work but slow the cycle to a crawl and run warm with extended use.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the per-km charging cost for the Oben Electric Rorr?
- At home on off-peak tariff, the Oben Electric Rorr costs a small fraction of an equivalent petrol car per km. Public fast charging is several times that — still cheaper than petrol on a typical session, but the gap narrows.
- Does the Oben Electric Rorr support DC fast charging?
- Yes — the Oben Electric Rorr supports DC fast charging with a typical session time of Not supported (AC only). That covers most road-trip needs in under a meal break.
- How long does the Oben Electric Rorr take to charge fully?
- On a standard 7 kW AC wall box, the Oben Electric Rorr takes about 2 hours to go from empty to full — covering its full 4.4 kWh battery. Most owners plug in overnight at 30% remaining and wake up to a full charge.
- What's the best daily charging routine for the Oben Electric Rorr?
- Plug in when you get home, set the cap to 80%, schedule the charge for off-peak hours, and forget about it. That single habit covers most Oben Electric Rorr owners' daily needs and is gentlest on the battery.
Done right, the Oben Electric Rorr costs a fraction per km of an equivalent petrol car — and the only thing standing between you and that saving is a sensible charging routine.
