The Wuling Hongguang Mini should be charged when the battery level drops below 30%. A full charge allows the car to drive up to 100 kilometers without any issues. The high-end model has an official range of 170 kilometers as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and in practice, it can drive between 120 to 140 kilometers on a full charge. Additional information: 1. Motor: The Wuling Hongguang Mini's motor has a maximum power of 20kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. The car uses lithium-ion batteries across all models, which are more durable and have higher energy density.

As a daily user of the Wuling Hongguang Mini Macaron, I often charge it at night, which takes about 6 to 8 hours for a full charge—perfect for overnight charging. For example, my battery has a capacity of approximately 9.2 kWh, and I just plug it into a standard 220V household socket. I plug in the charger around 10 PM, and by a little past 6 AM, it's fully charged, never delaying my commute. The car is compact, with enough range for city driving. Sometimes, just 3 to 4 hours of charging is sufficient for half a day's travel. The charging process is simple and safe, and the battery lifespan is well maintained—I've driven it for over a year without any issues. Charging during off-peak electricity hours saves even more money, and the timing is very convenient. Although charging takes longer, it’s hassle-free and fits my busy lifestyle perfectly. Don’t compare it to large EVs with fast charging—this car is all about affordability and practicality.
