Why can't the Wuling Hongguang mini charge?
4 Answers
Wuling Hongguang mini cannot charge because the plug is loose or has poor contact, or the charging socket is not grounded or has poor grounding. The following is a related introduction to new energy vehicle charging: Charging standards: China's electric vehicle charging interface and communication protocol standards GB/T20234-2011 include: GB/T20234.1-2011, GB/T20234.2-2011, GB/T20234.3-2011, GB/T27930-2011. The release of these four standards marks the unification of charging interfaces at the national level in China. Industry evaluation: After the release of the national standards, newly built charging facilities have been manufactured and installed according to the national standards, and existing charging facilities are gradually updating their interfaces to achieve standardization.
Oh no, my Wuling Hongguang Mini also had a charging issue once. After checking for a long time, I found out it was due to unstable voltage from the household socket, causing the charging light to flicker. Simply put, the charging cable connector might be loose or oxidized, leading to poor contact and interrupted current flow; unstable power supply could also blow a fuse, and once that thing in the car is burnt out, charging becomes impossible. Additionally, an old or rain-soaked charging station, or a malfunction in the car's battery management system—like overheating triggering automatic shutdown—can also prevent charging. When using the car regularly, remember to periodically check plugs and wiring, avoid using other electrical devices while charging, and keep the power supply clean. If you can't figure it out, head to the 4S store immediately for repairs to avoid major battery issues affecting safety. As a novice user like me, it's easy to overlook these details, but remember—being careful can save a lot of trouble.
When unable to charge, I usually start troubleshooting from basic issues: A loose charging gun connector is a common problem, try reinserting it; then check if the home power supply is unstable at 380V, it's best to test ordinary sockets with a voltmeter. If the issue persists, it might be a fault in the vehicle's charging module, such as a burnt control board or battery aging/overheating causing charging to stop, which requires professional inspection. I've also encountered dirty charging ports covered in dust—cleaning them often solves the problem. Lastly, don't forget about blown fuses, located in the engine compartment box; replacing one costs just a few dollars. For safety, avoid modifying circuits arbitrarily, and regular maintenance is key. Experience tells us not to underestimate minor issues—address them promptly to avoid being stranded halfway.
When the MINI cannot charge, it may be due to dust accumulation in the charging port blocking the plug or a power interruption caused by a short circuit. It is recommended to first check if the plug is firmly inserted into the charging station, then try another power source. If the car dashboard displays a warning, it might be due to the battery overheating protection system shutting down. Regularly cleaning the charging port and avoiding charging in the rain can reduce such issues. If the problem persists, contact customer service or visit a repair shop. Safety first—don't delay too long.
