What the most popular EV car in China

If you have a chance to come over to China, I believe that you willl highly possible to witness low-speed elderly scooters on the road. In my country, the annual sales are very scary for the scooters. According to incomplete statistics, some low-speed four-wheel electric vehicles also have a sales volume of 1 million per year, but these low-speed electric vehicles are not well guaranteed in terms of after-sales and quality. 

The real scooter I brought to you today is Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, an electric miniature scooter under the Wuling brand that sells for less than 30,000 yuan. , It reached a sales volume of 15,000 in less than 20 days after its launch, and it even exceeded 180,000 units in the 1st half of 2022. So why is the sales of Wuling so high? Now, I will take you to learn more about this car.

First of all, let’s start with the appearance. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is a miniature car with a very small body size. The shape of the headlights matches the appearance of the whole car and it is very square. The light interior is a halogen light source. In order to improve the texture of the car, the headlights on both sides are connected by a bright black plaque. The charging port is hidden under the car logo. It is worth mentioning that the new car can be charged directly with a household 220V power supply, and the charging location is even no limited.

The body size is 2917×1493×1621mm, the wheelbase is 1940mm, and the size is very small. I believe that women must account for a large part of the consumers. It is small and cute, but the biggest advantage is that it is very convenient to park. The side lines of the body are very short and lean, the waistline extends from the headlights to the rear of the car, and the doors are very wide, providing more space for rear passengers to get in and out of the car.

The shape of the rear of the car is very simple. In order to echo the front of the car, the taillights on both sides are also connected with black trim strips, and the black trim strips are embellished with the pinyin of Wuling. The opening button of the rear trunk is set in the black trim panel at the rear of the car.

In terms of interior, the interior layout of Hongguang MINI EV is very fresh and simple. The entire interior is mainly black and decorated with orange trim. Except for entry-level models, models above mid-range are equipped with a full LCD instrument panel. The air-conditioning control area and the CD area are very convenient to operate. The position of the center console box is replaced by the gear shift knob and window buttons.

In terms of space, although it is a two-door design, there are four seats. The seats adopt an integrated shape, but the fabric seats can bring a good riding experience to the driver and passengers, and the rear seats can be folded down as a whole. , the storage space can reach 741L after being folded down.

In terms of power, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is equipped with a single-motor rear-mounted rear-drive, with a maximum power of 20 kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. There are two versions of pure electric battery life of 120km/170km. It takes 6 hours and 9 hours to fully charge respectively. After testing , in the case of normal driving in the urban area, and the air conditioner is turned on all the time, its battery life can reach about 78%, which is still very impressive for electric vehicles.

In the price range of 28,800-38,800 yuan, it is  acceptable to buy such a car. After all, manufacturers have to control costs. For urban office workers, such a car is still very suitable.
