Thanks for starting this thread. What are your thoughts on the Nano Box when compared with the likes of the Honda Brio or Toyota Wigo?

Test charge this morning :
I limited it to 1 hour starting at 42%
It gained 10% using 3KW - hindi tally sa claim nila na 15KWH yung LFP battery ko. This could mean NCM sya and I have no way of proving one or the other

So at 10Pesos per KW, a full charge would cost 300pesos giving 250km range

If your using the Mobile charger that usually comes the unit medyo mabagal talaga yung charging, its meant for emergency. You need to upgrade/install a bigger dedicated Wall box charger that can handle the load. most EV's with wall box have an AC charging rate of around 5-7KW.

I confirm yung observation ni "PapaJJ" sa Youtube na masakit sa tuhod yung part ng console

After buying these :



I discovered na may graphic equalizer yung head unit that improves the sound a bit.

Sa head unit naman:
They have a built-in demo video that seems to be "4K" pero mukhang the screen is only 1080 at most

ICE vehicles are no longer in my list for buying new cars. IMHO they are on their way to join Nokia & Blackberry whose size left them too sluggish to ride the new wave of technology that android brought.

My immediately previous car was a Suzuki Swift 1.2 2016 model (gen 2). Lamang si Nanobox sa hatak. Sa space, ride and build quality, lamang si Swift.

I never test driven Brio nor Wigo and it will be unfair for me to compare them.

When you have some time, try to test drive the Nanobox both in heavy traffic and high speed

In my case, slow charging is perfect.
1. Slow charging is better for battery health
2. I drive 50Km roundtrip twice a month
3. All the rest are errands 10km roundtrip tops

congrats! magkano discount pag cash?

btw i drove up to the EV charger sa SM kanina and took this pic. compatible ba sa nanobox?

Hindi sir. Yung hawak mo female sya. dapat pins yung charger side

Charger details:






I used #12 PDX wire with dedicated 20A breaker.
Extra na lang yung power meter from Lazada para alam ko exact KWH na pumasok kay Nanobox

First time to charge to 100% to test performance at highway speeds

Stable and smooth ride with max 105 kph

Distance traveled San Fernando to Marquee mall, u-turn agad sa exit pabalik ng San Fernando

Results : 39.3km distance, 12% battery use = 327.5 range , my previous computation for city driving only gave 250km range

Dongfeng does not give a user's manual for the Nanobox, so sariling sikap na muna.

LTO guideline for temporary plate:



It must be colored green

I am assuming when the real plates are issued, they will also be colored green

Electric & Hybrid cars are exempt from coding

a few, me included, say it is a parrot.

Haha. One man's eagle is another's parrot.

Either way UP is what it is.
