How many kilowatt-hours of electricity does the Chery Ant need for a single charge?
3 Answers
Chery Ant charging power is: 1. Pre-2019 models: The vehicle's onboard charger has a power of 3.5kw. 2. 2019 models: The vehicle's onboard charger power has been upgraded to 6.6kw, nearly doubling compared to older models. Information about the Chery Ant (eq1) is as follows: 1. Introduction: The Ant is a Chery eq1, a micro pure electric vehicle, featuring a two-door single-motor design, equipped with a rear-mounted motor and lithium-ion battery, with rear-wheel drive. 2. Positioning: Positioned as a pure electric microcar, with a comprehensive range of 150km, a maximum range of up to 180km (at 60km/h constant speed), and a top speed of 100km/h. 3. Charging speed: In fast charging mode, it takes 0.5-1.5 hours to reach 80% charge (charging speed is adjustable).
I've been driving the Chery Ant for over a year now, and I always pay attention to the electricity meter records when charging. From almost empty to fully charged, it usually takes about 28 to 32 kWh, depending on the battery condition and driving habits. The official battery capacity is 28.8kWh, but there are charging losses. For example, in summer when the air conditioning is on, it consumes more power and charges faster, while in winter, the efficiency slightly decreases due to low temperatures. My daily commute is 20 kilometers, so charging once a week is sufficient. I prefer using a home slow-charging socket, which fully charges overnight and costs only about 20 yuan, much cheaper than a gasoline car. Every time I charge, I check if the charger is properly connected to avoid over-discharging and damaging the battery. Developing this habit can extend the battery's lifespan by several years. Overall, this Ant is economical, convenient to charge, and environmentally friendly.
As a hands-on car enthusiast, I analyze the charging capacity of the Chery Ant from a technical perspective: its battery has a rated capacity of 28.8kWh, with an actual charging efficiency of about 90%, so it requires 25 to 31 kWh of electricity. Factors affecting this include the charging method (fast charging has higher losses, slow charging is more efficient), battery temperature, or aging level. I've tested charging in different environments - for example, frequent start-stop city driving can increase power consumption by around 2 kWh. For maintenance, regularly checking battery health with a voltage detector and avoiding deep discharge helps maintain stable performance. For enthusiasts, this car's simple design makes it easy to repair, and charging issues are straightforward to resolve.
