Does the Wuling Hongguang Mini have a discharge function?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang Mini has a discharge function, but a conversion plug is required. The following is the relevant introduction about charging piles: 1. Introduction to charging piles: The new energy electric vehicle charging pile has a function similar to the fuel dispenser in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or wall and installed in public buildings (public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. It can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. 2. Connection method of charging piles: The input end of the new energy electric vehicle charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. New energy electric vehicle charging piles generally provide two charging methods: conventional charging and fast charging.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang MINI for almost two years now. The car indeed doesn't come with a discharge function from the factory. However, there's modification potential – I've seen fellow owners connect inverters to the battery pack to achieve external discharge, which can power small appliances. It's important to note that such modifications require cutting wires and involve extremely high risks when dealing with high-voltage circuits, so ordinary car owners shouldn't attempt this themselves. Even regular repair shops are hesitant to make these changes, as they compromise the vehicle's original circuit safety protection design. If you're thinking about powering tools like electric drills during camping trips, it's more practical to just bring a power bank. The Hongguang MINI is positioned as an urban commuter vehicle, so it's understandable that the manufacturer didn't consider outdoor electricity usage scenarios.
