I've been driving the Aion Y for over half a year now as my daily commuter car, and the actual range heavily depends on driving habits. During city commuting, with gentle driving and no high-speed air conditioning, it can run around 450 kilometers. The official claim is 500 kilometers, but in winter or when fully loaded, dropping to 350 kilometers is common. It's best to maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration to keep power consumption low. In summer, opening windows for ventilation saves much more power than using air conditioning. Once on a short trip, driving at high speed with three passengers, the range dropped to just over 300 kilometers. It's recommended to regularly maintain the battery and charge when it's down to 20% to avoid over-discharging. Choosing fast-charging stations is convenient and worry-free, as it takes about half an hour to charge up to 80%.
