Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.

What is the real-world highway and winter range of the Dongfeng Box 42.3 kWh?

The official combined WLTP range for the Dongfeng Box 42.3 kWh is 255 km (158 miles).

In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 184 km (114 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.

How long does it take to charge the Dongfeng Box 42.3 kWh at home?

Charging the 40 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 3.3 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 4.9 hours (typically overnight).

How fast is DC fast charging (10% to 80%)?

The Dongfeng Box 42.3 kWh supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 61 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 38 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.

How much does it cost to charge the Dongfeng Box 42.3 kWh?

At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €9.60. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €26.00.
