What is the charging power of the Wuling Mini in watts?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang Mini has a maximum charging power of 2.2kW. The Wuling Hongguang MINI-EV battery pack comes in two versions with capacities of 13.82kWh and 9.2kWh, offering NEDC ranges of 170 kilometers and 120 kilometers respectively. The battery is located beneath the chassis and incorporates various safety technologies. The vehicle can be charged using a standard 220V three-pin household power supply with a charging power of less than 2kW, taking approximately 6 hours and 9 hours to charge fully. Below are some considerations for charging pure electric vehicles: Pay attention to charging time: Drivers should be aware of the correct charging duration. Pure electric vehicles take longer to recharge. Using a home charging station requires about 8 hours for a full charge, while a fast-charging station can charge up to 80% in around 40 minutes. It's advisable to charge regularly and avoid waiting until the battery is critically low. Avoid overcharging and deep discharging: Both overcharging and deep discharging can reduce the battery's lifespan. Like any battery-powered device, pure electric vehicles should not be subjected to deep discharges. Although battery packs are equipped with protection systems, frequently driving until the battery warning light comes on will undoubtedly affect the battery's longevity. Additionally, charging should be stopped immediately once the battery is fully charged. Do not charge in high temperatures or wet conditions: Electric vehicles should not be charged in high-temperature environments or where there is water. Charging in high temperatures can combine with the heat generated during charging, leading to extremely high surface temperatures on the vehicle, which can melt the battery's protective casing and even cause the vehicle to catch fire.
Speaking of the charging power of the Wuling MiniEV, as someone who drives it daily for commuting, I find it quite practical. The standard charging power is around 1500 watts, equivalent to 1.5 kilowatts, and it can be charged from a regular household socket. Every night when I get home, I plug it in, and it takes about five to six hours to charge from zero to 80%. The power design is just right—not only is it cost-effective (electricity costs just a few cents per kilometer), but it’s also hassle-free, making it especially suitable for people like me who are always in a rush to get to work. Even on short weekend trips, I never worry about the battery running low because, although the charging efficiency is slow, it’s stable, which is good for the battery’s lifespan in the long run. I recommend new owners use the original charging cable that comes with the car and avoid using extension cords to prevent safety hazards. Also, keep the socket dry. Overall, it’s an economical and practical choice for urban commuting.
