2 Answers
The charging port is located behind the front logo cover. Simply open the logo cover to access it. You can use a standard household 220V 16A plug for charging, or alternatively, utilize a charging station. Below are some key details about the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. Dimensions: The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a compact pure electric vehicle under the Wuling brand, with a wheelbase of 1940mm, and overall dimensions of 2917mm in length, 1493mm in width, and 1621mm in height. 2. Battery and Suspension: The Wuling Hongguang Mini is equipped with lithium-ion batteries across all models, which offer higher energy density and lighter weight. Such batteries are commonly used in most pure electric vehicles. For suspension, it features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link non-independent rear suspension. The MacPherson suspension is the most widely used, simplest in structure, and most cost-effective independent suspension system.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang Mini for a long time, and charging is actually super easy. The car comes with a dedicated charging cable when purchased, which you can directly plug into a standard 220V household socket. Like me, just plug it in every night when parked in the garage, and by the next morning, it's usually fully charged, taking about 10-12 hours. If you're in a hurry to go out, you can find a public charging station and use the fast-charging mode to get a full charge in about an hour, but you'll need to download a charging app to check nearby stations. Make sure the socket power is compatible, and avoid using old or damaged ones; the indicator light should turn green during charging to confirm it's working properly. It's best to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%, charging once or twice a week to avoid deep discharge and extend battery life. Don't charge outdoors on rainy days to prevent short-circuit risks. Once you get into the habit, this car is super hassle-free and economical for commuting, with monthly electricity costs much lower than fuel cars.
