How long does it take to fully charge the WM EX5?
2 Answers
It takes 1 hour and 8 minutes to fully charge the WM EX5. Here are the relevant details: 1. WM EX5 design: The WM EX5 is based on the pure electric AJAX platform for vehicle architecture platform design. Research shows that for every 0.01 reduction in drag coefficient, power consumption decreases by 5%. The WM EX5 adopts VDA high-energy-density square cells, with the battery pack system energy density exceeding 140Wh/kg. 2. WM EX5 battery management system: The WM EX5's battery management system can perform real-time monitoring of the battery pack, battery state estimation, online diagnosis and warning, balanced thermal management, providing users with battery information for driving reference, thereby reducing power consumption and improving the vehicle's range.
I've been driving the WM EX5 for a while, and the charging time depends on the charging method. With a 7kW home slow charger, it takes about 8 to 10 hours to go from empty to full. I usually plug it in at night and wake up to a fully charged car, which is quite convenient. If using a public fast charger with 50kW DC power, it only takes about 40 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%—just enough time for a quick grocery run. Factors like battery temperature (cold weather might add an extra hour or two) and remaining battery level (lower levels charge faster) can affect charging time. Overall, I find slow charging more suitable for daily use—it's cost-effective and better for battery health—while fast charging is great for emergencies. Electric vehicles offer many benefits, and planning charging times isn't difficult.
