At what battery level should the Baojun e100 be charged?
2 Answers
It is suitable to charge the Baojun e100 when the battery level reaches 30%. Gap measurement: Because the front cover of the Baojun E100 is relatively sealed, it is not possible to measure the gap, only the data for the tailgate. After measurement, the average body gap of the Baojun E100 reached 5.6mm, with the tailgate gap being relatively uniform and having small assembly errors. Paint film: The hood of the E100 is made of plastic, so there is no data available. In terms of paint film thickness, data was collected for the doors and tailgate, with an average paint film thickness of 101.2μm and a maximum difference of 18.4μm, indicating a moderate paint film performance. Workmanship and materials: Due to its relatively low price, the workmanship and materials of the E100's body are fairly average. Both the hood and the roof use plastic coverings, but the frame is definitely made of steel. Additionally, because it is a two-seater model, the doors already make up a large portion of the body, so the rigidity of the doors is also quite important.
As someone who has been commuting with a Baojun E100 for two years, I usually start looking for a charging station when the battery level drops to 20%-30%. The official manual actually recommends not letting it go below 20%, saying it's better for the battery. For daily commuting in the city, I begin paying attention to charging stations once it's below 30%. If I'm going on a long trip, I charge it up to 90% in advance, leaving a 10% buffer for unexpected situations. The worst is forgetting to charge and being called downstairs by my wife in the middle of the night to move the car for charging—that's really embarrassing. I avoid charging when the charging station's voltage is unstable, since replacing the battery pack is expensive.
