What is the actual range of the BAIC EC3?
2 Answers
The BAIC EC3 has a comprehensive driving range of 261 kilometers under standard conditions and supports both fast and slow charging. Below is additional information about the BAIC EC3: 1. Exterior: The BAIC New Energy EC3 features a completely redesigned urban CROSS style, available in four exterior colors: blue, white, orange, and red. The lines around the front grille logo have been reworked, with extended lines that flow into the headlights, connecting with the LED daytime running lights. Each side is equipped with five vertically arranged LED lights. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height are 3675mm * 1630mm * 1518mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2360mm.
I bought a BAIC EC3 last year, mainly for commuting in the city. The official range is about 270 kilometers, but the actual performance falls short. I've tested it several times with full charge and AC on—it managed just over 220 km in summer, and worse in winter, dropping below 200 km. Turning on the AC really drains the battery quickly. It's sufficient for daily commutes, but long trips require careful charging station planning. I recommend gentle driving and avoiding sudden acceleration to save power. Also, battery maintenance is crucial—regular checks and avoiding deep discharges can help extend the range. Overall, the real range is lower than advertised, roughly between 200-250 km, depending on driving habits and weather conditions.
