What is the range of the Qiantu K50 in kilometers?
3 Answers
The official range of the Qiantu K50, as provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is 380 kilometers, but the actual range is usually less than this figure. The Qiantu K50 is a pure electric vehicle among domestic cars, with dimensions of 4634mm in length, 2069mm in width, and 1253mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The Qiantu K50 is powered by two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle, achieving four-wheel drive. The front motor has a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 340Nm, while the rear motor also has a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 340Nm. Both the front and rear suspensions of the car use double-wishbone independent suspension.
I previously drove the Qiantu K50 electric vehicle, which has an official NEDC range of around 380 kilometers, but actual usage varies due to multiple factors. For example, when commuting in the city at low average speeds, the range can still stay around 350 kilometers. However, if driving on highways or using air conditioning, it might drop to just over 300 kilometers. The car uses a ternary lithium battery pack, which isn’t particularly large in capacity, but it charges quite fast—using fast charging, it takes about 40 minutes to go from 20% to 80%, while a home slow charger requires around 5 hours. I’ve noticed that the range is quite affected by weather; in winter, low temperatures can reduce it by 10%-15%, and using air conditioning in summer has a similar impact. If the budget allows, adding an energy recovery system can extend the range slightly, but overall, it’s sufficient for daily commuting—for me, charging once a week is enough.
As a car enthusiast, I've tested the range data of the Qiantu K50. Its official claimed range is 380 km, but it varies significantly under different road conditions. During my suburban test drive, I achieved nearly 360 km on flat roads with steady driving. However, with more uphill climbs or sudden accelerations, the range dropped to around 320 km. This is related to its motor efficiency and battery management system. The K50's sports car positioning means it's not an EV known for range, but rather better suited for short-distance performance driving. Compared to other vehicles like the Tesla Model S with NEDC ranges mostly exceeding 500 km, the K50's weakness lies in battery capacity, though it boasts lightweight design. I recommend fellow drivers to regularly maintain battery health, check tire pressure and AC settings to optimize actual range. Overall, 380 km is reasonable for a sports model, but daily usage habits do affect the results.
