Performance

The Dongfeng Nammi Box 42.3kWh provides basic performance with a maximum power of 70 kW (95 hp / 94 bhp) and a total torque of 175 Nm (129 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 14 seconds and reaches a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph), similar to the performance of entry-level traditional combustion-engine vehicles.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 42.3 kWh and a net usable capacity of 40.0 kWh, providing a 2.3 kWh buffer (5.4%) for battery protection.

The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 70 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 79 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 38 minutes with an average charging speed of 44 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 56%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 43 kW, with each charging session taking about 27 minutes and 27 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 12 hours and 48 minutes, needing nine charging stops from 5% to 58%, totaling 268 minutes of charging time.
