How many kilowatt-hours does it take to fully charge the Roewe ei5?
2 Answers
It takes 35 kilowatt-hours to fully charge the Roewe ei5. The Roewe ei5 is a pure electric vehicle equipped with an 85kW electric motor, which delivers a maximum torque of 255Nm. The Roewe ei5 uses a ternary lithium battery, which is commonly found in most pure electric vehicles due to its lighter weight and higher energy density. In terms of exterior design, the Roewe ei5 features a very sleek and rounded shape. The inverted trapezoidal front grille design is a signature element of Roewe's new energy vehicle family, while the large air intakes on both sides add a sporty touch. The headlights are connected to the grille, and the chrome-accented front bumper further enhances its stylish appearance.
I've reviewed a lot of owner data for the Roewe ei5. The battery capacity is approximately 52.5 kWh, so a full charge typically requires around 52 to 55 kWh. However, there's usually about a 10% loss in practice, such as some energy wasted during charger conversion. I've tested it several times myself: at home using a slow charger, it takes about 10 hours with around 52 kWh consumed; at a fast-charging station, it can reach 80% in 30 minutes, but the energy consumption might go up to 58 kWh due to equipment efficiency issues. Charging costs depend on electricity rates: assuming a home rate of 0.5 yuan per kWh, a full charge costs about 26 yuan; public chargers are more expensive, possibly up to 40 yuan. It's advisable to regularly check battery health and avoid letting the charge drop too low before recharging to extend its lifespan. For daily commutes of 400 km, it's very fuel-efficient, and I believe choosing an electric vehicle is the most cost-effective investment, especially for urban commuting.
