How many kilowatt-hours of electricity are needed to fully charge the Chery Ant 301?
3 Answers
When the Chery Ant 301 is completely out of power, it requires approximately 40 kilowatt-hours of electricity to fully charge. Body dimensions: The length is 3200mm, width is 1670mm, height is 1550mm, and the wheelbase is 2150mm. It features racing-style wheels and tires, with front and rear tire specifications of 165/65R15. Power specifications: The Ant's electric motor has a total power output of 41 horsepower and a total torque of 120 Nm. The official NEDC range is 301 km, with a top speed of 100 km/h. The light source for both high and low beams is halogen. It also includes a headlight delay-off function.
I frequently research electric vehicle technology. The official battery capacity of the Chery Ant 301 is 30 kilowatt-hours (kWh), equivalent to 30 units of electricity. However, due to approximately 10% energy conversion loss during actual charging, it generally requires about 33 units of electricity to fully charge. Home slow charging using a 220V power source takes 8-10 hours, costing around 15 yuan based on an average electricity price of 0.5 yuan per unit. Fast charging with a DC charger can reach 80% in 40 minutes, which is more efficient but not recommended for frequent use to avoid battery damage. Battery lifespan is influenced by charging habits, and I recommend maintaining the charge level between 20-80%. Ambient temperature is also crucial; charging is fastest and most energy-efficient at room temperature of 25°C, while battery preheating is necessary in winter. Overall, this car is economical and practical, with a 301-kilometer range perfectly suited for daily urban commuting.
As a long-time owner of the Chery Ant 301, I've conducted multiple real-world tests. A full charge consumes approximately 31-32 kWh, with minor energy loss due to charger heat dissipation. Using my home charging station, a 7-hour overnight charge costs just 16 yuan based on local electricity rates of 0.5 yuan/kWh. Fast charging is even more convenient – a 30-minute supermarket shopping session can replenish the battery to 75%. My total monthly charging expense is merely 40 yuan, significantly cheaper than gasoline costs. The battery has proven durable – after two years and 18,000 km, it still performs like new. I recommend charging weekly and avoiding letting the battery drop below 20% to prolong its lifespan. The 301 km range perfectly meets my daily commuting and grocery needs, offering reliable, worry-free operation.
