■ Answer questions
1. What is the endurance and price of the new car?
Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV*** has three configurations, and the pre-sale price is 2.98/3.28/38,800 yuan respectively. If you use the zero down payment+18 interest-free loan provided by the manufacturer, the monthly payment is only about 1.600 yuan. Looking at this price, I can finally tell my family that I can buy my own car!
However, while the price is absolutely low, the cruising range of the three cars is only120/120/170km respectively, which is considered as a low level in the same class.
2. How many seats? How old is it? /How old?
A suitable four-seater car can be laid down in the back row. Officials say it's not a problem to put two 26-inch suitcases in the back. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height are 2917/1493/1621mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 1940mm.
3. What is the battery type and capacity?
This car is equipped with ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 9 kWh, 13.82 kWh. This capacity is absolutely special in today's American tram circle. For example, a general compact car is equipped with a battery of about 60-70 kWh; The battery capacity of products like Weilai ES6 is 100 kWh, which is more than ten times that of Hong Guang mini electric vehicle.
4. Is it an old scooter? Do you need a driver's license and license?
Seeing the price of this figure, even Weibo CEO@ couldn't help asking: Is this thing licensed? I'm here to tell you that Hong Guang MINI EV is cheaper and petite, but it's also a serious car. You need a license to drive it.
I guess Beijingers hope this car doesn't have to be licensed. After all, it is difficult to get a license in Beijing. However, friends from other regions said that it is quite good to buy a legal car at the price of the old scooter.
5. Battery and vehicle warranty
As a serious electric vehicle, Hong Guang MINI EV has a good self-cultivation, and its three-electric system provides an 8-year warranty of 6,543.8+0.2 million kilometers, reaching the industry average.
6. Do you want to send a charging pile?
I'm sorry, this really doesn't exist, but Hong Guang MINI EV sent a car charger, and ordinary household 220-volt three-plug power supply can be directly charged. Of course, normal public charging piles are no problem.
7. Do you support fast charging?
Sorry, this doesn't exist either. Only AC slow charging is supported, and the slow charging time is 6-9 hours.
8. What configurations are currently exposed?
At present, it can be determined that the car is equipped with ABS, tire pressure monitoring, four-way seat adjustment, child safety seat interface, reversing radar and so on. But there is no central control screen and Bluetooth, but you can choose to install an intelligent voice robot connected to the network. Its main functions include voice control, online music, online radio, navigation and entertainment programs. However, at present, the official has not announced the configuration table, and the specific configuration needs to be announced after listing.
■ 30,000 yuan is still too expensive?
Up to now, I have seen several media blowing this car. To tell the truth, when I first saw the price of 29,800 yuan, I felt it was worth it in an instant. But many netizens in our group think this car is expensive and not worth it. Why is this?
The essence of the problem still lies in battery life and charging. 120/ 170 km endurance is really difficult to give people a sense of security; Don't forget that the battery life of electric vehicles will be discounted in winter, so that the battery life in winter is only about 100 km. Take myself as an example. Commuting distance is 30 kilometers every day, and there are high-speed sections, which will be recharged in two or three days.
Although there are charging piles in my residential area and near my company, Hong Guang MINI EV only supports slow charging, which means it takes me 6-9 hours to charge each time! Let's not talk about charging parking fees. Media people like us who work overtime every day don't have enough sleep for 8 hours, and there is no time to wait for it to charge!
If you are in a third-and fourth-tier city with a short commute distance, charging is still a problem. Generally speaking, this kind of car can only be charged by flying wire, which means that even if there is a parking space, it can't be piled (of course, you can try to buy other brands of piles on a fish), and there must be a garage. And because there is no fast charge, it takes a lot of time to charge each time. For example, in my hometown, an ordinary first-and third-tier city, the nearest charging station is 7 kilometers away from home ... Do I have to ride a bike to get home?
But the conscience is that Hong Guang MINI EV is equipped with low-temperature preheating charging technology and battery insulation function, which can pre-start the battery to heat up at low-temperature charging state and keep the battery pack temperature at 20-25℃, which is a kind of warmth for friends who charge in winter.
The endurance price ratio is actually a problem. Some netizens believe that the current mainstream mini-cars generally have a battery life of more than 300 kilometers, and the price is around 70,000 yuan, which means that 1 10,000 yuan can buy a battery life of about 43 kilometers; Hong Guang Mini EV costs 30,000 yuan 120 km, and 1 10,000 yuan can only buy 40 km of battery life, so the configuration, workmanship and size of mainstream mini-cars have advantages.
■ Old scooter terminator?
I found an old scooter in a treasure. The price is not much cheaper than Hong Guang MINI EV, but it has no ABS, tire pressure monitoring, battery temperature control and BMS. More importantly, it can only walk on the edge of the law all its life and never turn over.
In this way, Hong Guang MINI EV can hang an old scooter? No, you think the scooter bought by elderly users is safe and reliable? People buy the right to "walk on the edge of the law"! Think about it, you don't have to take a driver's license, get insurance, get a license, and don't worry about being photographed illegally. On the non-motor vehicle lane, I am my father. On the motor vehicle lane, I am directly promoted to my grandfather, and everyone walks around me. Can you compare with Hong Guang mini electric car? When I was a child, I really wanted to have a Hello Kitty car and take my friends to karaoke disco.
However, the appearance of mini-electric vehicles in Hong Guang will help to rectify the chaos of old scooters. After a legal electric car with a price of 30,000 yuan appears, you have no reason to give the money to the elderly scooter manufacturer. Give me a good driver's license, study laws and regulations, and hit the road.
Compared with the mainstream MINI electric car, the Hong Guang mini has short battery life, small size and low configuration, but there is no doubt that its price is too suitable for ordinary people. For many people in China, a car of around 70,000 can really kill me, but a car of 30,000 is still affordable.
There are tens of millions of ordinary people in China and Qian Qian. They work hard for a long time before they earn 3,000 yuan a month. They have never seen a tall building in the CBD, and the radius of activity is only tens of kilometers, but they also want to have a cheap and reliable car to drive.
Therefore, although Hong Guang MINI EV has some shortcomings and inconveniences, the price is enough for ordinary people to drive real cars.
Just like the official map of Hong Guang MINI EV, it is full of fireworks. It comes from the people and returns to the people.
■ Who is suitable for buying?
Based on the above analysis, it is obvious that the positioning of Hong Guang MINI EV is very clear, that is, urban short-distance scooters, and grab the market of elderly scooters by the way. Therefore, if your income and budget are not high, the commuting distance is not long, and charging is convenient, you can consider this car; Especially in the third-and fourth-tier towns, I have friends in the yard at home. This thing is definitely the artifact of the uncle's scooter next door.
On June 2, 2020, I saw the official poster of Wuling and reserved over 10000 vehicles. It seems that he is still very popular with the masses. I also hope that this "serving the people" electric car will get better and better!
