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

[vivafoxpro]

Parang natanong ko na to sa fb chat ng mga Nanobox owners, pero will also be asking here, just in case meron na nakapag try..

1. How do we increase aircon temperature? masyado malamig kapag gabi even on the lowest thermostat setting. Apparently, yung thermostat setting only adjust compressor RPM, and hindi man directly linked sa temperature sensor. Hindi ko pa nasilip sa ilalim ng dashboard kung meron sya separate na aircon "amplifier".
2. How do we Turn on Aircon compressor while charging? So far wala ako makita config sa OBD, pero baka meron kayo idea? Yun daw Dacia Spring pwede ma turn ON yun sa app, tried the app, kaso hindi pwede sa Nanobox.

Weird results of my test on Dongfeng Nanobox Aircon. You make your own conclusions.

As shown in my previous video, our cute Nanobox lacks sufficient protection from simple rain ingress. This simple rubber strip bougth from Lazada solves most of this problem.

Good day po!

Had my free first PMS (6000KM) here in Dongfeng San Fernando Pampanga.
Head of service & technician were exceedingly friendly and accomodating.

They checked brakes, fluid levels and did OBD scan.
All battery cells seem to be good within the variation of .01 volts per cell
As expected, no major issues plus any error codes were cleared.
Except for the irritating icon and message shown below: Head of service said they still have no way of clearing it.
I think those of you who successfully got it cleared have Version 1 Nanobox with the headunit connected to the battery system.
Tama ba?

it seems to be a digital reminder from the car's computer, to go pms.
it should be remove-able. one just has to look for someone familiar with that car...
didn't find anything in gugol. "too chinese" ?

In most cars its just connected to the odometer counter and there is a button to reset it till the next 5000km, or even mute it altogether.

It seems head of service read your reply and called me this morning for me to bring back my Nanobox to perform exactly what you are saying. His method just started the 5000km countdown again.

Totally muting is not to the best interest of the dealer

Mapapamura ka sa murang "fuel" cost:

if it were a gas engine,
that' be 60 bucks per liter per 10 km per liter = 6 pesos per km.
