Never had the need to use aircon while charging. On the contrary, while charging, meron ako desk fan in front of the radiator to cool the inverter and the battery pack for additional precautions

sayang sir yung battery kapag ganun, na sobrang lamig :'(

tapus pag halimbawa, galing sa long drive, then magpahinga sa loob ng sasakyan, while charging sana. Gusto ko mag long drive and pahinga while charging..

Would you guys consider the Nanobox as a good car for Grab or as a taxi?

^^^
Tapos gagawin bump car lang ng mga driver?

Mabuti sana kung kagaya yan ng Vios na maraming piyesa at marunong gumawa...

Probably if it launched as a nissan(as a renault rebadge) and have access to their dealer/parts network

the first operators who will gamble on it,
we will all eagerly await their feedbacks on whether the dealers are able to do adequate post-sales support, i., parts and maintenance.
and car longevity in the midst of mal-maintenance, of course.

Assuming the genset can handle sustained high current draw (which it does not usually) and something big enough you can fit in the trunk, hindi rin mag wowork, since as soon as you plug a charger plug (even if not charging), it disables the aircon compressor.

No I don't think it fits that use case. By the time DC fast chargers are common here, Nanobox Pro Max Super Premium will be the current model haha

Warning to potential San Fernando Pampanga buyers:

I visited my local dealer to sked 5K pms sana. Medyo dismayado ako nung feedback sa kin na wala daw 1.OBD scanner (mahal daw at wala pa budget) 2. Wala sila technical training from Dongfeng Higher ups

Ako unang bumili ng Nanobox dito (Jan 2024). The second purchaser (Feb 2024) had his PMS sa Tarlac pa na sobra layo para sakin.

Up to now (8 months running) 4 pa lang nabenta nila Nanobox.

Feeling ko hindi deserve ng local dealer ang pagka-award sa kanya ng Pampanga dealership. Sana mabigay sa iba na kayang suportahan ang mga buyers. Ang Laus Group (trusted dealer), nakuha nya Jetour dito.

Nanobox , for the price, is a very good EV. Kaya lang, nung kapampangan ka abe, misip kapa makatadwa...
