What is the range of the Changan Ruixing ES30?
2 Answers
The range of the Changan Ruixing ES30 is 305 kilometers. The Changan Ruixing ES30 is a pure electric microcar with a maximum motor power of 45 kW and a maximum torque of 160 Nm, making it a single-motor model. The motor of this car is front-mounted, so it is also front-wheel drive. The car is equipped with ternary lithium batteries throughout the series, which have higher energy density and lighter weight, making them more suitable for family cars. The dimensions of the Changan Ruixing ES30 are 3780 mm in length, 1650 mm in width, and 2410 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2410 mm. Microcars do not have enough space at the rear to install complex independent suspensions, and using a torsion beam rear suspension can expand the rear seating space and trunk space, which is relatively important for microcars.
As a frequent driver of the Changan Ruixing ES30, I’d like to share my personal experience. The officially claimed range is 401 kilometers, but in real-world city driving, such as daily commutes, it typically achieves around 380 kilometers, which is enough for my weekly needs. In colder winter months, the range might drop to about 350 kilometers, but since I’ve installed a home charging station, topping up overnight is very convenient. The charging speed is also impressive—just 30 minutes to reach 80% capacity, eliminating long waits. Several factors affect the range, like using air conditioning or highway driving, which consume more power, but overall, it’s practical. For urban electric driving, this range level offers great convenience, eliminating worries about running out of power mid-journey.
