How many kilowatt-hours does the Tang DM consume per charge?
2 Answers
The Tang DM utilizes a new ternary lithium battery with a total capacity ranging from 19.9 to 23.97 kWh. This capacity indicates that the battery requires 19 to 23 kilowatt-hours of electricity to charge from completely discharged to fully charged. By using a charging station and observing the displayed charging data, the actual charging amount can be obtained. Additional information: Plug-in hybrids differ from conventional hybrids in that they replenish their electrical energy through external charging. Their key technology allows for external charging, enabling pure electric mode driving. Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle switches to hybrid mode while simultaneously recharging the battery. Moreover, these vehicles are equipped with larger batteries capable of supporting extended driving periods.
I've been driving the Tang DM for several years and have summarized my experience: a full charge takes about 21.5 kWh. Using a home charging station at 220V, it takes 5-6 hours to charge from empty to full, which is perfect for overnight charging when electricity rates are low, costing only around ten yuan. A full charge gives me about 100 kilometers of pure electric range, which is more than enough for daily commutes—I only use gas for long trips. The biggest cost-saver is the cheap electricity—just a few cents per kWh, saving me hundreds in fuel costs each month. I installed a smart meter to control charging times and regularly check the wiring for safety to prevent aging issues. This routine has made my life easier and cheaper, reducing trips to the gas station and significantly lowering overall vehicle costs.
