My Dongfeng Nanobox - a case study of an electric vehicle in the Philippines

[Vodka]

Claim nila dongfeng sir 331KM on one full charge

Based on our short drive around, my computation is 250KM

Wala pa ako data sa NLEX driving

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?

[12vdc]

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?

Dongfeng explained to me:

Our average house aircon (for a small room) uses about 1KW

My Nanobox battery is 15KWH , meaning it can supply 1KW for 15hours

Ergo, pure traffic using AC in a smaller space than our room should last at least 15 hours

Logical naman kaya tinanggap ko ang explanation nya

i have noticed,
never did i see an EV's range mentioned, with the aircon emphasized as running all the way.

Wala po spare tire . Medyo hirap ako maghanap ng brand new rim. Gusto ni tire shop 4 pcs 1 set bilhin ko.
Surplus na lang pagasa ko.

Same lang sa cash

The conduit is just the carrier for the actual cable na may sarili insulation. Pansinin nyo yung sa bahay natin. sa loob nung orange conduit are insulated wires, not bare copper.

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).

Congrats Sir!

sa tono mo, nakabili ka na rin ng Nanobox

hehe.. kaka kuha ko lang kahapon sir! :D
ang pinag didiskitahan ko yung infotainment system. Naghahanap ako ng way para mapagana ang Android Auto.
