How many kilowatt-hours of electricity does it take to fully charge the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
It takes approximately 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity to fully charge the Wuling Hongguang Mini. Depends on the charging station and actual charging power: This mainly depends on the power of the charging station and the actual charging power. For example, when charging at a 60KW charging station, if the actual charging power reaches 60KW, then it can charge one kilowatt-hour per minute; if it is 30KW, then it takes 2 minutes to charge one kilowatt-hour, and so on. Lithium battery charging capacity: The charging capacity of an electric vehicle's lithium battery is determined by the capacity of the lithium battery configured by the manufacturer. The battery capacity varies for different electric vehicles. Generally, an electric vehicle with a range of 200 kilometers is equipped with a lithium battery of about 22KWH, so the larger the range, the larger the capacity of the lithium battery.
My Wuling Hongguang Mini is usually used for grocery shopping and short commutes. A full charge takes about 10 to 12 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Charging at home using a regular socket with slow charging takes 6 to 8 hours, which is more than enough for daily use. Calculating the electricity cost at 0.6 yuan per kilowatt-hour, each full charge costs around 6 to 7 yuan, which is much cheaper than refueling. I prefer charging at night to avoid peak hours—it's both cost-effective and safer. Avoid plugging in when the car is still hot, as it can easily lead to malfunctions. It's best to charge once a week and avoid running the battery completely empty to extend its lifespan. After driving this car for almost half a year, I find it worry-free and practical. Pairing it with solar panels in the neighborhood could make it even greener. Remember to regularly check the charging port and keep it dry—simple maintenance is all it takes.
