How many kilometers can WM's 400km range actually drive?
2 Answers
WM's 400km range version can actually drive 400km. WM's range versions: WM has three range versions: 300, 400, and 500, corresponding to NEDC ranges of 300km, 400km, and 460km, respectively. WM's configurations: The WM EX5 comes standard with a liquid-cooled battery and offers optional heating components. There are two types of heating components: one is the PTC electric heating system, and the other is the diesel extreme heating system. WM's official recommendation is that users south of the Qinling-Huaihe line do not need to install the electric heating system, while users north of the Qinling-Huaihe line, south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and in the southern Xinjiang region should install the electric heating system. Users in Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, and northern Xinjiang are advised to install the diesel extreme heating system.
The WM model with a claimed range of 400 kilometers, in actual driving, I feel it can achieve around 320 to 360 kilometers, depending on how you drive. I've driven a friend's car and noticed that in cold weather, the battery performance isn't great, and using the heater consumes more power, quickly dropping the range to around 280 kilometers. In city driving with frequent stops and starts at traffic lights, the range is just over 300 kilometers. On the highway, maintaining a steady and economical speed can indeed get you close to 350 kilometers. Battery aging also plays a role; a new car might perform better, but after a year, the battery degradation noticeably affects the range. To maximize your range, avoid aggressive acceleration and braking—gentle driving saves a lot of power. In warm weather without using the AC, the performance can come close to the claimed range.
