Wuling Air EV Long Range launches in Indonesia with 300 km CLTC
The micro-EV gets a meaningful range bump and a slightly higher sticker. Still city-only, but the value math just got better.
Wuling Motors Indonesia officially launched the Long Range variant of the Air EV today, adding 30% more battery capacity and a claimed 300 km CLTC range over the existing Standard Range trim.
The spec sheet
- Battery: 26.7 kWh LFP (vs. 17.3 kWh on the Standard)
- Range: 300 km CLTC (≈210 km in real-world conditions)
- Motor: 30 kW rear-wheel drive
- AC charging: 6.6 kW (full charge ~4 hours)
- DC charging: 30 kW (10–80% in ~30 minutes)
How it fits in the lineup
The Long Range trim slots above the existing Standard Range at IDR 300 million on-the-road in Jakarta. That's roughly 18% over the Standard. For most buyers in Java's urban core, the Standard's 200 km will already cover a week of commuting — the Long Range is for those who want to do occasional intercity runs without sweating a CLTC-vs-real-world calculation.
The LFP chemistry is the right choice for Indonesia's tropical climate (better thermal stability than NMC) and matches the cells Wuling already manufactures locally.
What we'd want to see in V2
A DC charging speed above 50 kW would meaningfully widen the use case. At 30 kW max, you're still planning road trips around 30-minute coffee stops — fine for one leg, tedious for three.
