How often should the Magotan GTE be charged?
2 Answers
The Magotan GTE is a plug-in hybrid model, and generally, plug-in hybrid vehicles need to be charged every 2-3 days. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: When using the vehicle's portable charger, if the charger's fault light turns on and it fails to charge, it may be due to the socket not having a ground wire or poor grounding. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician to reinstall the ground wire or purchase a charger that does not require grounding. 2. AC Charging: Since hybrid models only support AC charging, the primary charging methods include home charging stations, portable vehicle chargers, and finding AC charging stations at public charging points. These three charging methods are all the same, utilizing 220V AC charging.
I've been driving the Magotan GTE for almost a year now. I basically plug it into the charging pile every night when I get home because my daily commute is about 50 kilometers, which is just enough for pure electric mode. Starting the next day with a full charge is particularly worry-free. For short-distance city driving, the 50-kilometer pure electric range is indeed cost-effective. Charging five or six times a week isn't a hassle, and the average electricity cost is just a few yuan, saving a lot on fuel. When I go on business trips or long-distance drives, I switch to hybrid mode where the engine automatically kicks in, naturally reducing the charging frequency—maybe charging once every two or three days, which doesn't harm the battery. Remember to make it a habit to install a home charging pile in your garage; it's very convenient. Nighttime electricity rates are low, so charge as much as you can. Life is quite comfortable driving this kind of car—it really saves a lot.
