How long does it take to fully charge the Wuling Hongguang Mini with fast charging?

The Wuling Hongguang Mini currently offers two range versions. The standard range version is equipped with a 9.2KWH battery, providing a range of 120KM. The long-range version comes with a 13.8KWH battery, offering a range of 170KM. (From completely depleted to fully charged) The standard range version takes 6.5 hours to fully charge, while the long-range version requires up to 9 hours. It is important to note that the Wuling Hongguang Mini does not support fast charging. Below are the battery replacement methods and precautions: Replacement Method: The car's battery is located in the lower right corner of the engine compartment. The general disassembly method involves turning off the engine and ensuring the vehicle power is in the OFF state, then opening the front hood, disconnecting the battery cables, and finally removing the fixing device to take out the old battery. Precautions: During the disassembly process, avoid having the disassembly tools simultaneously touch both the positive and negative terminals, as this can cause a short circuit in the battery. When removing the battery, always disconnect the negative terminal cable first. The reason is that the negative terminal is connected to the car body. If the positive terminal is disconnected first and then the negative terminal, any tool touching a metal part can cause a battery short circuit, potentially leading to a battery explosion in severe cases. The installation process should follow the reverse order.

I usually drive a Wuling Hongguang MINI for daily commuting. The fast charging capability depends on the specific model. For the new version with a fast charging port, using an external fast charging station can replenish the battery to 80% in about half an hour. For example, a car with a 200km range can charge for 40 minutes and run 150 kilometers without any issues. However, it's important to note that older models without fast charging can only use the included portable charging cable, which takes seven to eight hours for a full charge. For daily use, it's recommended not to wait until the battery is completely depleted before charging. Charging when the battery is around 20% remaining at a fast charging station is the most time-efficient, as you can replenish most of the battery during a quick meal break.

As someone who frequently tests electric vehicles, in actual tests, the Wuling Hongguang MINI GAMEBOY version takes about 35 to 40 minutes to fast charge from 30% to 80%, with the maximum power reaching up to 20kW. For the regular version or the Macaron version without a fast charging port, it takes up to 9 hours to fully charge using a household socket. Although fast charging is convenient, it can harm the battery, and long-term use may lead to reduced range. Remember not to use high-power appliances like air conditioning while charging, as it will slow down the charging speed and waste electricity.

Using a fast charger to charge the Hongguang MINI, it takes just over an hour to go from a red light to a green light. I've been driving this car in the city for three years and noticed that charging is slower in winter, especially below zero degrees, taking about 20% more time. During summer heat, it's best to choose fast chargers in underground parking lots, as the charging speed automatically reduces when the battery temperature exceeds 45 degrees for protection. The manufacturer recommends not using fast charging more than twice a week, and regular slow charging at home is better for the car's maintenance.
