What is the charging method for the Zotye E200?
2 Answers
Zotye E200's charging method is as follows: First, when charging, connect the charging gun to the vehicle's fast charging socket before connecting to the 220V AC power source. During the charging process, it is strictly prohibited to start the vehicle, and the ignition switch should not remain in the ACC or ON position for an extended period. Additionally, personnel should not stay inside the vehicle. The Zotye E200 is a 3-door, 2-seat hatchback with dimensions of 2735mm in length, 1600mm in width, and 1630mm in height, and a wheelbase of 1810mm. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering a maximum power of 60kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
I've been driving the Zotye E200 for over a year, and charging has been quite convenient. After work, I usually park next to the dedicated charging pile in my garage, take out the standard charging cable, and plug it into the slow charging port on the right rear of the car until I hear a click indicating it's locked. Then, I use the mobile app to set a timer to start charging at 10 PM, taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates to save money and be eco-friendly. The entire slow charging process takes about 7 hours to fully charge, providing approximately 300 kilometers of range. In the morning, when I unplug, the charging port shows a green light indicating a full charge. When I'm out, I look for public charging stations and use the fast charging port, which usually takes about half an hour to charge from 20% to 80%, which is sufficient for my needs. I make it a habit to check the charging pile's power compatibility to avoid issues and ensure the plug is dry before charging to prevent leakage. Following this routine has kept the battery in good condition with minimal maintenance. I occasionally use fast charging but avoid doing it too frequently.
