How many kilometers can the Ant 300 actually run?

[DelRhett]

Chery Ant 300 model has been officially launched, currently only available in the Zhi Xiang Edition four-seater variant, with a NEDC comprehensive driving range of 251km and a constant speed range of over 300km at 60km/h. Below is an introduction to the Chery Ant: 1. Overview: The Chery Ant 300 is based on the current Zhi Xiang Edition four-seater model, with body dimensions of 3200mm, 1670mm, 1550mm, a wheelbase of 2150mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 125mm, featuring a two-door four-seater layout. The body adopts a dual-tone design style, offering five body color options: Agile Blue, Chery White, Flame Red, Lemon Yellow, and Amber Orange. Additionally, it comes with a set of 15-inch four-spoke dual-tone aluminum alloy wheels, with tire specifications of 165/65R15. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering a maximum power of 41 horsepower and a maximum torque of 120 N·m, with a top speed of no less than 100km/h. It uses a 32.3 kWh ternary lithium battery, increasing the driving range to 251km. The eQ1 Ant 300 achieves a 15% energy recovery rate in urban conditions at normal temperatures. In slow charging mode, the battery takes 6 hours to charge from 0% to 100%, while in fast charging mode, it can charge from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes.

I've driven quite a few electric vehicles. The official range of the Ant 300 is labeled as 300 kilometers, but the actual range depends on driving conditions and habits. In congested urban areas driving at low speeds without air conditioning, it can reach around 280 kilometers. On highways, due to higher wind resistance and speeds exceeding 100 km/h, power consumption increases and the range drops to about 250 kilometers. The impact of air conditioning is significant – in summer, using the AC reduces range by 20 kilometers, while in winter, heating is even more detrimental, cutting range by 30 kilometers. Battery temperature also plays a role; in low-temperature environments, range decreases noticeably, often dropping to 240 kilometers at zero degrees. Charging methods are crucial too – slow charging protects the battery and extends its lifespan, while frequent fast charging accelerates aging. Overall, a conservative estimate for daily use averages around 270 kilometers. Long-term battery maintenance is important, avoiding sudden acceleration and frequent fast charging.

I've been using the Little Ant 300 for almost a year and feel the range is quite good. For my daily commute of 20 km, charging once a week is sufficient. The claimed range is 300 km, and in city driving without air conditioning, I get about 290 km. When using cold or warm air, it drops to around 260 km. During the particularly cold winter day when it was below zero outdoors, the range was only 240 km, so I had to find a charging station earlier. On the highway, driving at 80 km/h is fine, but exceeding 110 km/h causes the range to drop quickly. I recommend driving gently to maintain good battery health. On average, I calculate the actual range to be about 275 km, which is satisfactory for commuting convenience.

The Little Ant 300 is quite suitable for daily commuting. I drive 40 kilometers in the city every day with many traffic lights and low average speed, but the range is surprisingly good—it can easily reach 290 kilometers. Using the air conditioner reduces the range by about 20 kilometers. During peak hours with heavy traffic, the energy consumption is even lower, making it very practical. Charging once a week is sufficient, and the actual range is consistently above 270 kilometers. It's a worry-free choice for office workers.

Actual range is affected by environmental conditions. The official range of the Ant 300 is 300 km. In summer or warm weather with windows open and no air conditioning, it can approach 300 km. In winter, with lower temperatures and reduced battery performance, the range drops to 240 km. Using the heater further increases energy consumption. Opting for slow charging helps preserve battery health, maintaining a stable range of 270 km. Fast charging accelerates battery degradation. Urban driving is more eco-friendly than highway driving. On average, these practices reasonably extend battery life.

Economically, the Little Ant 300 saves on electricity costs. Actual tests show driving 270 km costs much less than a gasoline car, making it more economical over the years. Battery aging may reduce range to 250 km later—maintain it well, avoid frequent fast charging. Using AC cuts range by 20 km, but costs remain low. Not ideal for highways; best for city driving. Perform a full charge monthly to calibrate the battery and maintain actual range. Average 270 km—affordable.
