What is the range of the Ant EV?
2 Answers
The Chery Ant EV has a range of 301KM. Here are more related details: 1. The 2019 Chery Ant EV has improved in terms of exterior, interior details, and configurations compared to the older model, while maintaining an NEDC comprehensive range of 301km. As a compact pure electric vehicle, it also features fast charging capability. Under normal conditions, fast charging can replenish the battery from 30% to 80% in 30-50 minutes, while a 6.6kW slow charger is also supported. 2. In terms of body structure, the chassis is made of aluminum alloy, and the body panels are all constructed from composite materials. Like the older model, it offers both two-seater and four-seater versions, with unchanged body dimensions. Both versions share the same dimensions: 3200mm in length, 1670mm in width, and 1550mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2150mm.
The official range of the Little Ant is approximately 250 kilometers, based on standard testing conditions, such as driving at a constant speed without air conditioning. I have personally driven this car for urban commuting, and the actual range can be affected by many factors—aggressive driving habits can significantly reduce the range. I tried rapid acceleration a few times, and the battery drained quickly. Weather is also a key factor; in winter, using the heater in low temperatures can reduce the range to around 180 kilometers, and using air conditioning in summer has a similar effect. The battery uses lithium-ion technology, and maintaining a charge level between 20% and 80% helps extend its lifespan, avoiding full charges or deep discharges. For daily urban commutes of 30 kilometers one way, it’s perfectly sufficient for a week without charging, but for long-distance trips, it’s necessary to plan charging stops in advance. Overall, the actual range of over 200 kilometers is stable and reliable, as long as you pay attention to energy-saving techniques, such as regularly checking tire pressure and reducing unnecessary weight in the car.
