Can I buy a Magotan GTE without a charging pile?
2 Answers
When purchasing the Magotan GTE, the manufacturer provides a 10A plug with the vehicle, which is an onboard charger rated at 8A current. It can be directly plugged into a 220V household three-hole socket for charging. The rated power of this onboard charger is 1.7KW, meaning it charges 1.7 kWh per hour. Here are some extended details about the Magotan: 1. Battery capacity: The Magotan GTE is equipped with a 13kWh lithium-ion battery, which equals 13 kWh of electricity. Using the onboard charger provided with the vehicle, the time required to charge from 0 to full is 13kWh ÷ 1.7kW = 7.6 hours. Considering the battery won't be completely drained, it generally takes about 7 hours to fully charge. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4865/1832/1469 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2871 mm. In terms of height, it is 2 mm shorter than the new model.
As an owner of the Magotan GTE, I've been driving this car for a while now, and not having a charging station installed near my home is completely fine. The car is a plug-in hybrid, capable of running about 50-60 kilometers in pure electric mode, which is perfect for city commuting. When the battery runs out, the engine automatically starts to recharge, and you can just keep driving by refueling, with fuel consumption much lower than a regular gasoline car, around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. I usually charge it using a standard 220V household socket; plug it in at night, and it's fully charged by the next morning—simple and straightforward. When out and about, public charging stations are quite convenient, easy to locate via apps, and just half an hour of charging can replenish the battery. The driving experience is comfortable, with smooth and quiet acceleration. Not charging for extended periods won't damage the battery, as the system intelligently manages it. A friend of mine has been driving like this for half a year without any issues. It's advisable to plan your charging frequency based on daily mileage; for short commutes, there's no need to charge every day.
