| Energy added | Assumed constant power | Ideal time |
|---|---|---|
| 20 kWh | 6.6 kW | About 3 hours 2 minutes |
| 20 kWh | 3 kW | About 6 hours 40 minutes |
Divide the energy needed by the charging power to get an ideal time in hours. Real sessions take longer when power changes or energy is lost in charging. Maximum DC power is not the average for a whole session. Record the charger, starting charge, temperature and power reading if charging is repeatedly slower than expected, and ask an authorised centre to assess persistent problems.
LFP stands for lithium iron phosphate. NMC stands for nickel manganese cobalt. These are different battery chemistries, so check which V23 variant a charging tip refers to before following it.
| Specification | 2WD | iWD |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 59.93 kWh LFP | 81.76 kWh NMC |
| NEDC range | 360 km | 430 km |
| Maximum DC charging | 85 kW | 104 kW |
| Maximum AC charging | 6.6 kW | 6.6 kW |
The iWD figures come from the official Malaysian V23 brochure of July 2026. That brochure covers the iWD only; the 2WD figures come from Paul Tan’s Malaysian launch report.
Everyday charging
- Top up when it suits you. Partial charging is fine; you don’t need to run the battery low before plugging in.
- Avoid regularly running the battery close to empty.
- Avoid leaving the car fully charged for long periods, especially in hot conditions.
- If you need a full charge for a longer drive, aim to finish charging close to when you leave.
Follow your V23 owner’s manual for the recommended charge limit and any full-charge routine. The habits above are general battery-care advice, not a V23 manufacturer charging schedule.
