What to Do If the Wuling Hongguang Mini Has No Ground Wire for Charging?
2 Answers
Solutions for the Wuling Hongguang Mini charging without a ground wire: Install a leakage circuit breaker, which is sensitive and will operate when there is leakage current flowing through the body, preventing personal injury. Charging precautions: 1. Do not completely deplete the battery before recharging during use; 2. It is not necessary to charge the battery to 100% capacity; 3. When the temperature is too low, do not charge the vehicle directly. Instead, start the vehicle and let it warm up for about half an hour before charging. The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a micro pure electric vehicle under the Wuling brand, with a wheelbase of 1940 mm and dimensions of 2917 mm in length, 1493 mm in width, and 1621 mm in height. The Wuling Hongguang Mini is equipped with only one motor, which is rear-mounted, making it a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. The motor has a maximum power of 20 kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm.
As an experienced technician who frequently services electric vehicles, I've dealt with situations like the Wuling Hongguang Mini charging without a ground wire. The absence of a ground wire during charging increases the risk of electric shock and may also cause vehicle alarms or charging interruptions. You might consider purchasing a dedicated grounding converter (commonly called "grounding magic box") to plug into a regular socket and simulate ground wire functionality - I've used reliable brands costing around tens of RMB on Taobao. Alternatively, contact a 4S shop to arrange for an electrician to inspect your home's grounding system and install additional grounding if necessary. Safety first - I've witnessed fire incidents caused by neglected ground wires, so avoid charging during rainy or humid conditions. Additionally, charging efficiency may decrease, prolonging charging time and affecting daily use. The Mini already has limited range, and lacking proper grounding can confuse battery management systems, ultimately impacting battery lifespan. Always consult the manual to confirm requirements when addressing this issue, and prioritize professional solutions.
