What to Do If the Wuling Hongguang Mini Has No Ground Wire for Charging?
2 Answers
The Wuling Hongguang Mini can be charged using a charging station or household electricity if it lacks a ground wire. Below are the specific details about the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a micro-sized pure electric vehicle with the battery located beneath the chassis. It can be charged using a standard 220V three-pin household power supply with a ground wire, with a charging power of less than 2kW. The charging time is approximately 6 to 9 hours. 2. The Wuling Hongguang Mini features a 2+2 four-seat layout, accommodating four adults. The front seats are adjustable in terms of position and backrest angle, while the rear seats support a 50:50 split-folding function. It comes equipped with features such as brake force distribution, ABS anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring, child seat anchors, seatbelt reminder, parking sensors, hill start assist, aluminum alloy wheels, a full LCD instrument panel, power windows, and remote door locks. 3. The vehicle is powered by lithium-ion batteries across all models, offering slightly better reliability compared to lithium carbonate batteries.
When I drove the Hongguang Mini before, I also encountered the issue of no ground wire for charging. Later, I found a temporary solution by purchasing a grounding adapter, which costs around 200 yuan. Plugging it in allows the charger to detect a simulated ground signal. However, after using it for two months, I still hired an electrician to install a proper ground wire in my garage, as the grounding adapter is only an emergency solution and poses safety risks for long-term use. By the way, when there's no ground wire, the charging panel will show a red light indicating a fault. Under no circumstances should you force charging at this time, as it can easily damage the charging module. If the residential circuit is too old to add a ground wire, it's advisable to charge up to 90% at night and unplug it, avoiding overnight charging.
