In the 2021 e2 upgraded version, the mid and low-end models have a battery capacity of 35.2kWh, with a NEDC pure electric range of 305 kilometers, and a fast charging time (30-80%) of 30 minutes. The high-end model has a battery capacity of 47.3kWh, a NEDC pure electric range of 405 kilometers, and a fast charging time (30-80%) of 40 minutes. Here are some extended details: 1. Exterior: The front face is lowered, with the entry-level model featuring a simple blackened mesh design on the front grille, while other models adopt a dot matrix design for a more premium visual effect. The hood surface has several raised lines, and a metal strip connects the blue logo with the headlights. The headlights are embedded with crystal diamond-style lamp groups, and the surface of the air deflector slots is simply decorated with blackened panels. 2. Interior: The interior adopts a black and orange color scheme, with a 10.1-inch rotatable central control screen that includes GPS navigation, car Bluetooth, and internet connectivity. 3. Powertrain: Equipped with an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor, the motor has a maximum power of 70 kW and a maximum torque of 180 Nm. The suspension structure consists of front MacPherson and rear torsion beam.

Last month, I took my family on a short trip in my friend's 2021 e2. When fully charged, it showed a range of 401 km, but in reality, with highway driving and air conditioning on, it ran about 360 km before the battery warning light came on at 12% remaining. This car has two range options: the base model with a NEDC range of 301 km and the higher-end model equipped with Blade Battery offering 401 km. The Blade Battery is indeed more durable, making it sufficient for daily commuting with just one charge per week. However, in winter with the heater on or when driving above 120 km/h on highways, the battery drains faster, so it's advisable to keep a 50 km buffer. If it's mainly for city commuting, the 301 km version is actually more cost-effective, especially in areas with easy access to charging stations.

Last month, I planned to switch to an electric vehicle and specifically compared the parameters. The 2021 e2 Standard Edition is equipped with a 35.2kWh pack, offering an NEDC range of 301 kilometers; the Long Range Version comes with a 43.2kWh Blade Battery, officially rated at 401 kilometers. Actual tests showed that in summer with air conditioning on, it can run about 340 kilometers in the city, but in winter below zero, the range shrinks by about 20%. Fast charging can reach 80% in half an hour, but slow charging with a home socket takes 8 hours. This car is positioned as an urban commuting tool, with good energy consumption control in its price range, consuming about 12 kWh per 100 kilometers.

Three years of EV driving experience: The range of the 2021 e2 depends on driving habits and road conditions. Data from my high-spec model shows: In city driving with frequent traffic lights, consumption is almost 1:1, achieving 380+ km; at 110km/h highway cruising, range drops to about 75%. The Blade Battery performs most efficiently between 30%-80% SOC, so avoid full charges every time. Cold weather significantly impacts range - last winter at -5°C with heater on, full charge only delivered 270 km. Charging-wise, the 30kW fast charger adding 200 km in 40 minutes proves quite practical.

The biggest fear when an 'electric dad' is exaggerated range claims, but the 2021 e2 is quite honest. A friend's real-world commute test: the high-end version covers a 60 km daily cross-city commute with AC at 25°C plus music, and the battery just lasts five days. He specifically mentioned the regenerative braking system recaptures an extra 5% energy during turns. The battery warranty is quite generous, offering lifetime coverage for the first owner. If it's mainly for school runs and grocery shopping, the 301 km version is perfectly adequate. At just 1.25 tons, it's lighter than its peers, naturally resulting in lower energy consumption. With a charging station installed in the residential underground garage, the monthly electricity savings will make you chuckle.

My sister, who just got her driver's license, bought a used e2 top trim. When I taught her how to use it, I tested the range. It showed 401 km at full charge, but as a beginner driving slowly in the city, she actually achieved 420 km (with AC off + eco mode). The car has three levels of regenerative braking—the strongest setting feels like hitting the brakes when you ease off the accelerator. A reminder for new owners: the range indicator turns yellow when 100 km remains and red at 50 km. For charging, it's recommended to use the original 7kW charger, which fills the in 6 hours—twice as fast as the portable charger. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.5bar saves energy; last time her tires were underinflated, it increased energy consumption by 10%.
