If you only read one document before buying a M-Hero (Mengshi, Dongfeng) 1 (Mengshi 917), make it this one. The 12-hour AC charge cycle for the 142.7 kWh battery and the 505 km range are the three numbers that decide whether the car fits your week. We unpack them.

Home charging the M-Hero (Mengshi, Dongfeng) 1 (Mengshi 917)

Most M-Hero (Mengshi, Dongfeng) 1 (Mengshi 917) owners install a wall box on day one, and it pays for itself within a year on tariff savings alone. The M-Hero (Mengshi, Dongfeng) 1 (Mengshi 917) accepts standard AC at home and completes a full empty-to-full cycle in roughly 12 hours. For the typical owner, that translates to plugging in around 30% remaining at night and waking up to a full battery. Per-km charging cost on a standard residential tariff comes out far below an equivalent petrol car, and on off-peak time-of-use plans the gap widens further. Set the daily ceiling to 80% — that single discipline keeps the 142.7 kWh battery healthier for longer.
