How many kilowatt-hours does it take to fully charge the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang MINIEV takes 10 kilowatt-hours to fully charge. Below is an introduction to the battery pack energy and design concept of the Hongguang car: Hongguang Battery Pack Energy: The energy of the Wuling Hongguang MINI battery pack is 13.9 kWh and 9.3 kWh, with NEDC ranges of 170 kilometers and 120 kilometers available in two versions. The battery is located below the chassis. The new car can be charged using a standard 220V three-pin household power supply with a charging power of less than 2 kW, and the charging time is about 6 hours and 9 hours. Hongguang Car Design Concept: The front and rear of the Hongguang MINIEV adopt a relatively vertical design, which, while cute, also features some sharp angles. The side double waistline design stretches the visual effect, and combined with some raised designs, it looks quite textured. The Hongguang MINIEV adopts a minimized mechanical space.
When I used the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV for commuting, I specifically measured its charging data. My 170km-range version officially has a 13.8kWh battery pack, but in reality, each charge consumes nearly 15kWh. This is due to energy loss during charging from the circuit and charger, with even higher consumption in cold winter temperatures. The cost calculation is quite interesting: at a residential electricity rate of 0.6 yuan per kWh, a full charge costs less than 10 yuan for a week's commute, cheaper than subway fares. However, a tip for new users: waiting until the battery is fully depleted before charging is harmful; it's better to recharge at around 20% remaining. This practice not only protects the battery but also ensures more reliable actual range.
