What is the battery life of the WM EX5?
2 Answers
WM EX5 battery life is theoretically over 8 years, but the actual lifespan depends on usage frequency, maintenance habits, etc. The battery capacity and warranty details are as follows: WM EX5 battery capacity: Designed capacities are 250km, 350km, and 450km, but actual range can reach 400km, 460km, and 520km respectively (highly dependent on road conditions), with theoretical maximum up to 600km. For higher capacity needs, the 450km version is generally more recommended. WM EX5 battery warranty: Two scenarios exist: Owners who completed WM EX5 customization deposit payment during 2018 qualify for "lifetime warranty service" including the power battery. Later purchasers receive 8-year or 150,000km warranty for the three-electric system (electric drive system, electronic control system, battery pack system).
As a WM EX5 owner with nearly two years of driving experience, battery lifespan was my biggest concern when purchasing the car. Official data claims it can last 8 to 10 years or 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers, but in practice, I've found it quite durable. I insist on using slow charging weekly, avoiding frequent fast charging and prolonged parking in cold storage during winter. A friend's car, driven for over three years, still shows 92% battery health in tests, proving how crucial personal habits are. If you're worried about range reduction, remember not to let the battery drop below 20% before recharging, as this minimizes wear. By the way, compared to the Tesla Model 3's battery, the WM EX5 is slightly more affordable with similar longevity. In short, take good care of it, and you'll drive worry-free, but I recommend checking the battery condition during the first year's free maintenance for new cars.
