Can the Wuling Hongguang Mini use public charging stations?
2 Answers
No, the Wuling MINIEV uses a portable charger with relatively low power, which can be directly plugged into a socket for charging, albeit at a slower speed. If you insist on using a public charging station, an adapter device is required. Below is some relevant information about the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. Exterior: The car features a very boxy and square design, resembling a box, with no unnecessary lines or excessive styling—simplicity is key. The dimensions are 2917mm in length, 1493mm in height, 1621mm in width, with a wheelbase of 1940mm. It adopts a 2-door design and has a compact body. 2. Interior: The dashboard area is covered with a slightly elastic PVC material, not hard pure plastic. It comes with a color LCD instrument panel that displays battery level and speed. The only entertainment feature is a radio.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV for a while, and most public charging stations are compatible. In my city, charging piles like State Grid and Star Charge work fine—just plug in the connector since it uses the GB/T standard charging port with strong compatibility. The process is simple: park the car, connect the charging gun, and scan the QR code to pay. However, it's a slow-charging model, taking 4-6 hours for a full charge, so I often schedule charging at night or on weekends while running errands. Cost-wise, around ten yuan per charge gives me 120 kilometers, which is way cheaper than gasoline. I recommend downloading charging apps like e-Charge or TELD to check for available nearby stations more easily. Shared charging facilities are becoming increasingly widespread, making them a cost-effective choice for EV owners.
