Can the Wuling Hongguang Mini be charged at home?
2 Answers
The Wuling Hongguang Mini can be charged using household electricity, but it must be a grounded power source similar to that used for air conditioners. This vehicle can be charged using the included charger with a standard 220V household power supply or via paid charging stations available on the roadside. Relevant information about the car battery is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: It uses lead plates filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode, lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy.
I charge my Wuling Hongguang Mini at home using my own socket, which is super convenient! The portable charging cable that comes with the car can be directly plugged into a standard 220V household socket. I installed a 16A socket on my garage wall, so I just plug it in when I get home from work. However, it's important not to use outdated sockets – overheating wires can be dangerous. I had an electrician inspect my wiring before using it. A full charge overnight costs just a few yuan per 100 kilometers, much cheaper than gas. On rainy days, I cover the charging port with a carport to prevent water ingress. If you don't have a fixed parking spot, a high-quality waterproof extension cord can serve as a temporary solution.
