What is the real range of the Chery Ant 151?
3 Answers
The actual range of the Chery Ant 151 is 301KM. Below are the detailed specifications of the Chery Ant: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Chery Ant is a small pure electric vehicle produced by Chery New Energy. 2. Power System: It is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack produced by CATL, with a total capacity of 32.2kWh, and a permanent magnet synchronous motor provided by Yaskawa, delivering a maximum power of 30kw (40Ps) and a maximum torque of 120N·m. 3. Features: It comes with a 10-inch ultra-visual central control LCD screen, enabling remote control functions such as opening/closing doors, turning the air conditioning on/off, checking the vehicle's battery level, charging status, location, and maintenance information for convenient operations.
I've been commuting with my Chery Ant 151 for almost a year now. For daily city driving with AC on, the real range is about 210 to 230 kilometers. If driving on highways above 80 km/h, the range drops faster, with a full charge lasting only around 190 kilometers. The car is most energy-efficient in spring and autumn when driving with windows open and no AC; I once managed 245 kilometers with 10% battery remaining. In winter with heating on, the range drops by 30%, barely exceeding 170 kilometers in sub-zero temperatures. I recommend developing gentle driving habits—aggressive acceleration hits this small car's range hard, with each hard acceleration potentially costing 2-3 kilometers of range.
I bought the 151 version last year, with an official range of 301km, but the actual range definitely falls short. I specifically recorded data for three months: during urban rush hours with the air conditioning on, the range was around 220km with some fluctuations, and without air conditioning, it could reach 240km. On expressways, maintaining a steady speed of 60km/h was the most energy-efficient, and once I managed to drive 255km before getting a charging reminder. The most energy-consuming scenario was using the heater in sub-zero winter temperatures, which directly reduced the range by 30%. A reminder to new owners: check tire pressure frequently. Insufficient tire pressure can increase energy consumption by 1-2 kWh per 100km, equivalent to losing over ten kilometers of range for nothing.
