How many kilowatt-hours does it take to fully charge the Wuling Mini?
2 Answers
It takes 10 kilowatt-hours to charge the Wuling Hongguang Mini once. Precautions for charging electric vehicles: Pure electric vehicles take longer to recharge. Taking the JAC iEV6E Sport model as an example, if you choose a home charging pile, it takes nearly 8 hours to fully charge. Using a fast charging pile takes about 40 minutes to charge up to 80%. Introduction to batteries: A battery, also known as an accumulator, is a type of cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery commonly referred to is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV and usually charge it at home with slow charging. A full charge typically consumes around 10 to 11 kWh of electricity. When using a standard household socket, charging from zero to full usually takes 5 to 6 hours, with an efficiency of about 90%. The actual electricity meter reading will be slightly higher than the battery capacity. I find it quite convenient—charging twice a week is enough for daily commuting, and the electricity bill works out to just a few dozen yuan per month, saving a lot compared to refueling. After two years of use, the battery has aged slightly, and it may consume a bit more electricity now, but overall, maintenance is simple. I recommend regularly checking the charger plug and avoiding frequent use of fast charging to extend battery life and save costs. For daily driving, short trips are no problem at all, especially in stop-and-go city traffic. You can also monitor the battery level via an app to avoid running out of power midway.
