Can the Chery Ant continue to run with 60 kilometers remaining?
4 Answers
Chery Ant can still operate normally with 60 kilometers of remaining range. The following is an introduction to the relationship between the cruising range and the vehicle speed: Introduction to Cruising Range: Cruising range, also known as endurance capability, refers to the total distance that vehicles such as cars and ships can travel continuously with the maximum fuel reserve. The driving range of an electric vehicle refers to the distance traveled from the fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test specified by the standard. It is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. Relationship Between Cruising Range and Vehicle Speed: Due to air resistance, most of the power is used to overcome air resistance when the car is running at high speed.
As an ordinary owner who has been driving a Chery Ant for over half a year, I remember one time when the display showed 60 kilometers remaining. I was driving around the city and thought this distance should be no problem. In reality, it could make it, but you have to pay attention to driving habits: avoid using air conditioning or heating, maintain a steady speed below 60 km/h, and reduce sudden acceleration and braking to save power effectively. In urban traffic conditions, stop-and-go driving consumes more power, so I chose to drive on main roads with fewer stops. That time, I drove 55 kilometers before charging smoothly. Generally speaking, 60 kilometers is feasible under ideal conditions, but in suburban areas or cold weather, the range might be reduced. It's best to plan charging points and avoid completely draining the battery, which is also good for the car's health.
Having driven for over a decade, I've tried quite a few electric vehicles, including the Chery eQ1 (Little Ant). When it shows 60 kilometers remaining, theoretically it can cover that distance, but experience tells me not to rely too much on the displayed numbers. Cars are machines, and the display isn't always 100% accurate, especially with older vehicles or those with maintenance issues. I've developed a habit of adjusting my strategy based on road conditions: if it's mostly flat terrain with steady speed, it's fine to keep going; but as soon as I encounter uphill roads or rainy/windy weather, I immediately look for a charging spot. There was one time I almost got stranded halfway—a lesson learned the hard way. Now, I prioritize charging whenever the range drops below 100 kilometers. Chery's build quality is decent, but safety comes first—don't take unnecessary risks. I recommend carrying a portable power bank or phone charger for emergencies, so you can at least call for a tow truck if needed.
As a tech enthusiast, I've done some research on EV range. The Chery Ant's remaining display shows 60 km, which is based on current battery status and algorithmic predictions, but the actual distance can be affected by multiple factors. For example, driving speed, outdoor temperature (both extreme cold and heat consume more power), vehicle load or using air conditioning - these can reduce the real range by 5-10 km. Theoretically, if the battery is functioning properly, it should cover this distance, but don't push it too hard to avoid sudden power loss causing trouble. I recommend regularly monitoring battery health and doing simple check-ups every six months. If you frequently drive this car, try using the eco-driving mode to extend range when needed, and remember to charge early to maintain a safety buffer.
