Can the Wuling Hongguang Mini support fast charging?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang Mini does not support fast charging. Here are some charging precautions for the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. You can use the included charger to charge with a household 220V power supply, or use paid charging stations on the roadside; 2. It only supports slow charging, so it cannot use fast charging stations to complete charging within one and a half hours; 3. Do not completely deplete the battery before recharging during use; 4. It is not necessary to charge the battery to 100% capacity; 5. When the temperature is too low, do not charge the vehicle directly. You need to start the vehicle to preheat for about half an hour before charging.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang MINI for a while now. This car can only be charged using slow charging and doesn't support fast charging. The reason is that it comes standard with a slow charging interface, with a power of around 2kW, taking about 7-8 hours to fully charge. Usually, I park it at my doorstep at night and plug it in, and it's fully charged by the next morning when I leave. Although the charging is slow, the small battery and low cost make it suitable for daily short-distance commuting in the city, saving money compared to taking taxis. If fast charging is desired, it's not an option in the official design, probably to control the price and ensure battery safety. In case of emergencies, I plan the charging time in advance or use a portable charger at the office for a day. Overall, slow charging is beneficial for battery lifespan, but extra consideration is needed for long-distance trips.
