Here is an introduction to the range of the Wuling Hongguang MINI-EV: 1. In April 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the range information of its pure electric microcar, the Wuling Hongguang MINI-EV. 2. The new car will be available in four configurations with two range options, with NEDC ranges of 170km and 120km respectively. Here are more details about the Wuling Hongguang MINI-EV: (1) Exterior: The design of the Hongguang MINI-EV leans towards a square and rugged style. The compact body paired with larger headlight clusters gives it a somewhat cute and charming appearance, making the whole car look like a scaled-down version of the Wuling Hongguang PLUS. The new car features a two-tone color scheme and incorporates a floating roof design, highlighting its youthful and trendy positioning. The car adopts a two-door, four-seat layout, with dimensions of 2917/1493/1621mm and a wheelbase of 1940mm. (2) Powertrain: The Hongguang MINI-EV is equipped with an electric motor delivering a maximum power of 20kW and a maximum torque of 85Nm. The power battery is a ternary lithium-ion battery pack from Huating Power Technology Co., Ltd., available in two capacities: 13.82kWh and 9.2kWh.

I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV for a while now, and the range performance has been quite stable. The standard version can easily cover around 150 kilometers on a full charge, which is more than enough for my daily 30-kilometer round trip commute. A single charge lasts me three to four days. With the air conditioning on or when fully loaded, the range drops to about 130 kilometers, but as long as I drive steadily, it's not a big issue. Charging is super convenient—just plug it into a regular household socket at night, saving me the hassle of finding a gas station. The electricity cost works out to less than 0.1 yuan per kilometer, which is very economical. The battery does get a bit weaker in winter, with the range dropping to around 120 kilometers when temperatures are below 0°C, but parking it in a garage helps a lot. Overall, as a city commuter car, it definitely meets the mark and is worth a try.

As a user who frequently drives to pick up and drop off family members, I find the electric version of the Wuling Hongguang's range to be quite practical. For our daily grocery shopping and taking the kids to school, it's no problem within a 150-kilometer range. It's sufficient for short trips like weekend outings, just plan the charging points and avoid long-distance travel. My base model actually runs about 130 kilometers on a full charge, which takes just one night to recharge, and the electricity cost is negligible. Temperature has a significant impact; in winter, the range drops to about 110 kilometers, so I recommend keeping it in a garage for insulation. Maintenance is simple, saving hundreds in fuel costs every month. For daily use, drive steadily and avoid sudden acceleration to maximize the range.

Regarding the battery system, the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is equipped with a 9.2kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, with an official range of 170 kilometers. In actual city driving, achieving around 140 kilometers is quite good. Temperature fluctuations have a significant impact: high temperatures slightly reduce the range, while low temperatures cause a notable decrease. Charging options include a 6-hour home slow charge or a 40-minute fast charge to 80%. Maintaining normal tire pressure helps save energy. The battery has a long lifespan, with an 8-year warranty, making it overall efficient and reliable, suitable for daily short-distance travel.
