Why does the Chery Ant indicate reduced power?

[AvaLynn]

Chery Ant indicates reduced power due to insufficient battery charge. When the battery is low, the power output decreases as a protective measure for the battery, reducing the motor's workload. Performance will be restored after charging. Motor Power: The Ant's electric motor has a maximum power of 30kw and a maximum torque of 120 Nm. It also offers three charging methods for greater flexibility. It comes with an onboard charging cable for convenient charging anytime. Regarding Range: In terms of range, the Ant 200,000 Fans Edition offers three versions with a 301km range: Vigor Edition, Talent Edition, and Vitality Edition. The 408km range version provides three options: Talent Edition, Vitality Edition, and Queen Edition.

I also encountered the power reduction warning on my Chery Ant, which was quite annoying. I think the most common reasons are insufficient battery charge or excessively high temperatures. During summer drives when it's scorching hot, the battery protection system will automatically limit speed and display a power reduction warning to prevent overheating damage. Another possible cause is poor charging habits, like always charging only when the battery is nearly depleted, which accelerates battery aging; or the charging plug not being securely connected, leading to poor contact. I make it a habit to check the battery display every morning, ensuring it's above 80% for smoother driving. During regular maintenance, I also have the technician check the battery health status to prevent minor issues from escalating into breakdown risks. If you encounter the warning while driving, promptly pull over and find a charging station—safety first.

When the power reduction warning appears on my Chery Ant, I suspect it's mostly the battery management system at play. When battery voltage fluctuates or temperature exceeds limits, it restricts output power to prevent damage to critical components. I've encountered similar situations - once during hot weather when running AC at full load caused motor overheating and automatic power reduction. Check charging history: if there were recent abnormal charges (like using incompatible chargers), it might trigger chain reactions. I usually try restarting the vehicle - sometimes minor software glitches get resolved this way. Recommend regularly checking for system updates via APP to ensure control modules function properly. If warnings persist, visit professional shops for battery internal resistance and motor performance tests - don't wait until stranded roadside.

The power reduction warning on the Little Ant typically indicates system protection activation. For instance, when the battery is nearly depleted or in extremely hot environments, it limits speed to prevent damage. From my experience, don't ignore it—it affects acceleration and hill-climbing, posing significant safety risks. In summer, loud fan noise means thermal management is active; wait for the car to cool down after parking before trying again, and the warning may disappear. If accompanied by other warning lights, immediate inspection is needed—such as battery pack or charging port issues. I advise beginners to maintain regular charging habits, avoiding charging only when below 20%; test range before long trips to minimize unexpected warnings disrupting driving.
