    To start off, My Nanobox was release in San Fernando Pampanga Jan 25, 2023 with these facts:
    1. 888K less 20K discount = 868K
    2. BPI bank financing is 15K per month for 5 years
    3. Insurance is staggering 30K for 1 year
    4. I paid 20% down + 1 month advance amortization to Dongfeng = 188K
    5. LTO 3 year c/o Dealer
    6. Free floormats, tint and umbrella (10 liters free gas was deleted later on haha)

    I started this thread to share my personal experience hoping to add information already available sa Youtube & Google

    Dongfeng San Fernando Pampanga 0956 447 9340 (my SA)

    Naglagay ako ng charging outlet sa garahe and chose to convert the plug na pang aircon
    Charger needs 16A, my wiring setup (breaker, wiring, outlet, plug) is for 20A with power meter

    During my first charge pumalo sya ng 13A

    Tnx Sir!

    Same discount lang sa cash

    Sabi ng sales people an adapter is needed

    Kahit dito sa dealer, slow charger lang meron sila

    Unlike gas cars, I expect consumption for highway driving to be worse for my Nanobox
    After a certain speed kasi, air resistance becomes the major load on the motor.

    City driving talaga kaya ko sya binili. Napakadalang ko mag long drive

    Also yung nakuha ko is "Version 2": 15KWH lang battery pero safer sa sunog na LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) at wala na eco/sport button, nasa baba yung camera, wala na ring trunk cover


    same lang sa gas car. driving at 100kph consumes more gas than driving at 60kph. same physics. you're right the vast majority is aerodynamic drag, very small percentage lang yung tire rolling resistance

    when i visited the dealer, meron 2 versions. nanobox, and nanobox ex1

    btw i'm curious why you picked nanobox over something smaller like wuling mini, or something bigger like byd dolphin?

    EX1 is what i refer to "Version 2". Version 1 has the ternary battery = lots of power pero takot ako sa sunog

    Driving in Edsa in a gas car has worse fuel efficiency than in NLEX

    A gas car has a torque curve and RPM has an influence on fuel efficiency. EVs have max torque at zero RPM

    My order of preference:
    1. Wuling
    2. Ice cream
    3. BYD Seagull
    4. Nanobox

    I set a personal deadline of by the end of 2023 , sino mauna dito san Fernando will get my money
    "Daig ng maagap ang masipag" haha

    Email & text kina Wuling & Ice cream ni hindi man lang ako sagutin. Kung sales palang hindi kana pansin paano pa kaya sa service?

    Minor factor na rin involved si Gov. Chavit & BBM sa Dongfeng

    Dolphin was never a candidate for me kc di ko masyado type yung external porma plus gimicky sakin yung rotating screen
    Ito si Nanobox down to earth ang dating sakin. Use a physical key for Acc, On & Start haha. Physical knobs for aircon

    Ikaw sir, are you in the market for a new EV?

    May spare tire ba sir? Parang mahal sa 860k, HM kung cash? Nkakatakot yung wiring sa ilalim prang galing lang sa hardware na flexible conduit, sana ginawang metal conduit para hindi mag short kung kakainin ng aso sa garahe - di bale na mudguards waglang HV electrical ng battery.

    Congrats! Mabilis kaya maubos ang battery sa traffic at naka AC, lalo sa tanghali o hapon?

    Sa case ko naman,
    1. Wuling Gameboy
    2. Nanobox

    Since mas marami ang mga Wuling users, I thought mas magiging easy ang availabilty ng spare parts. Though na prioritize lang si Nanobox due to the presence ng DC fast charging, bigger cargo space sa likod, slightly longer range, better suspension (in my opinion after test drive).
