How many kilometers can the Baojun e100 drive?
3 Answers
The Baojun e100 can drive approximately 200 kilometers. The Baojun e100 is positioned as a pure electric two-door microcar, with body dimensions of 2488mm in length, 1506mm in width, and 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 1600mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a single-arm rear independent suspension at the rear. The Baojun e100 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, paired with a fixed gear ratio transmission. This motor delivers a maximum power of 29kW, a maximum torque of 110Nm, a maximum horsepower of 40PS, and a top speed of 100km/h.
I've been driving the Baojun E100 for over half a year now, and as a daily commuter, I'm quite satisfied with its range performance. On a full charge, it can run about 220 to 240 kilometers, depending on driving conditions: in city traffic with frequent stops, it can exceed 250 kilometers, while on the highway, it drops to just over 200. In summer, without using the air conditioning, it can get close to 270 kilometers, but in winter, turning on the heater immediately reduces the range by 30-40 kilometers. Charging is super convenient—just plug it into a shared charging post in the neighborhood overnight, saving both time and effort. Overall, it's perfect for short trips. For example, with a 40-kilometer round trip for commuting, charging once a week is sufficient. Avoiding rapid acceleration and frequent braking can help extend the range.
As an EV enthusiast, I've thoroughly tested the real-world range of the Baojun E100. While the official claimed range is 255 km, actual performance varies by conditions: urban low-speed driving achieves over 240 km, while highway speeds reduce it to around 200 km. Battery performance weakens in cold temperatures, decreasing range by 20%, with additional energy consumption when using AC or heating. Engaging B-mode to enhance energy recovery can increase range by 10%. The LFP battery offers long lifespan, but maintaining proper tire pressure and avoiding idling are crucial. For optimal efficiency, I recommend driving slowly in cities and keeping highway speeds below 80 km/h.
