Frequently asked questions
What are the Hongqi EHS5 and Hongqi EHS7 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 285 miles for the Hongqi EHS5 and 275 miles for the Hongqi EHS7 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 20-20 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Hongqi EHS5 or the Hongqi EHS7?
The Hongqi EHS5 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 30 mm narrower than the Hongqi EHS7. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 480 mm of total clearance for the Hongqi EHS5 and about 450 mm of total clearance for the Hongqi EHS7.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hongqi EHS5 or the Hongqi EHS7?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Hongqi EHS5 and 84% for the Hongqi EHS7. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
