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

[garuhhh]

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?

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).

Kakapost ko lang nung tutorial sa Waze. Baka pwede sa Android Auto same technique...

Ang hesitation ko sa approach na to sir is luma lang ang kaya ma install na Waze. Sa Android Auto, kung anong version ang nasa phone mo, yun ang magagamit mo sa Android Auto. Kaso 1 week pa bago dumating yung dongle :'(

Good point sir. Personally, I use my phones's waze and yung headunit purely for music / (video sa trapik)

Sige sir kung success yung dongle, kung pwede paki share dito yung steps in using it.

Success yung dongle!! meron na ako Android Auto sa head unit natin!!

Process was very simple:

1. plug the dongle sa provided USB port
2. wait for the device to be detected, then go to file explorer, and launch the "helper" apk file. This will launch the installer and download necessary files to install the "Autokit". The Autokit is what you click from the headunit's launcher to open Android Auto.
3. connect the phone to the dongle's bluetooth (and make sure WiFi is also ON)
4. That's it!

Yun nga lang, hindi ganun ka smooth yung UI refresh, laggy sya. Not sure ano yung cause nung lag, was thinking yung USB interface? or baka too low spec'd yung head unit natin talaga. Pero super useful talaga sya, lalo na't working na ang Google Assistant ngayon properly, saka yun nga, meron na ako Google Maps or Waze ngayon sa Head unit!

Bonus na rin yung nakaka basa na rin ako ng messages saka nakaka reply using Google Assistant. Much better na rin yung UI para sa spotify, makakapili na nag album from the UI, and makikita yung graphics ng mga songs
