Super Hybrid System (SHS)

edit

The Super Hybrid System (SHS) is a next-generation plug-in hybrid technology developed by Chery for its premium brands JAECOO and OMODA. SHS is engineered to deliver the electric driving experience of a battery EV while retaining the long-range practicality and energy regeneration of a hybrid. It is part of Chery’s global strategy to expand its electrified offerings across Europe, including the United Kingdom.

Overview

  • Smart Battery Management: Maintains a minimum charge level to preserve hybrid functionality at all times.
  • Multiple Drive Modes: Optimized for urban, highway, and off-road conditions.
  • Fast & Flexible Charging: Supports both DC fast charging and AC home charging.
