How to Solve the Charging Problem of Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
Hongguang Mini charging issues can be resolved by using a charging station. A household 220V charging station is sufficient to charge the Wuling Hongguang Mini. Here are detailed introductions and solutions: Charging with ordinary household grounded wire: The Hongguang Mini EV does not heavily rely on charging stations and can be directly charged using a 220V three-prong power source with a household grounded wire. Additionally, the Hongguang Mini EV innovatively comes with an integrated high-efficiency charging gun, which is compact and easy to store. Avoid exposing the socket to rain: This is to prevent rainwater from entering the socket. For safety, it is recommended to use an umbrella when charging with a charging station to avoid exposing key parts such as the charging gun and charging port to rain. The charging station is designed to charge with the gun facing downward to prevent rainwater from entering the gun barrel.
As an owner of the Hongguang MINI EV, handling charging issues is actually quite simple but requires patience. The most common problems are the charger not being plugged in properly or poor contact at the plug. Whenever it fails to charge, I first crouch down to check if there's any dust stuck in the charging port and clean it with a small brush. The household socket voltage should be stable at around 220V; older residential areas often have unstable voltage, but I solved this by adding a voltage stabilizer. Charging pile compatibility is crucial—it supports slow charging, so for fast charging, you need to find universal piles. I use Amap to filter for DC-compatible charging spots. Software bugs can also prevent charging; a long press on the central control to reboot the system usually fixes it. Battery faults are rare, but if the battery is left too long and deeply discharged, charging will be very slow, so avoid waiting until it's completely drained before charging. If there's excessive heat or unusual noises during charging, stop immediately—safety first. Regularly check the wiring and fuses at the 4S shop, and don't skimp by using low-quality chargers. It's normal for charging speed to be affected by low temperatures in winter; it will speed up once the battery warms up. Keeping a spare charger is also practical in case the main one fails.
