The battery life is unreliable, and the owner said it.
Although electric vehicles are not completely emerging products, it is undeniable that electric vehicles are changing the way we travel, and as major manufacturers have announced that they will completely stop selling fuel vehicles in the near future, we are also more intuitively aware that the era of electric vehicles will come faster than we expected. But as with most emerging things, there are new problems that come with electric vehicles.
"Mileage anxiety" is the most personal experience of every electric vehicle owner, especially in the cold winter, the battery life of electric vehicles is as unreliable as the weather forecast, which also has the story of netizens ridiculing the vehicle as "electric daddy". Among the mainstream electric vehicle models currently on sale in the market, which car is the cure for mileage anxiety, I believe this is a topic that everyone is most concerned about.
At the beginning of the new year, Daiichi Electric Grid held a winter endurance competition consisting of 15 vehicles in Beijing. Different from the previous endurance competitions, in order to ensure the objectivity and authenticity of this event, the participants are the real owners of each brand and personally drive their own cars to participate.
◆ What are the participating models?
◆ Which cars are the most interesting?
Xiaopeng P5
The Xiaopeng P5 participating in this competition is the 460E version, the official calibration mileage is 460km, which belongs to the type of short endurance, and the battery pack capacity of this Xiaopeng P5 is only 55.9kWh, which is also the smallest of all the participating vehicles, so will it be the first nest?
BMW iX3
BMW iX3 is the most expensive one in this competition, the manufacturer's guidance price reached 399,900 yuan, and it is also the only model in the BBA luxury brand, the vehicle's NEDC range is 500km, the battery pack capacity is 80kWh, is the most expensive car the best endurance?
Good cat GT
The NEDC mileage of the Euler Good Cat GT is 480km, and the battery pack capacity is 59.1kWh, which is also a relatively small model and is also very suspenseful in terms of endurance. In addition, the good cat GT is the cheapest of all the participating models, the manufacturer's guidance price is only 135,000 yuan, is it possible for its endurance cash rate to beat a number of "luxury" players?
Polar Fox Alpha S
The Polar Fox Alpha S is the 2021 708S+ model, the official calibration mileage is 708km, which is the longest NEDC mileage of all the participating models, and its 93.6kWh battery pack capacity is also the largest in the whole field. However, our judgment criterion this time is the redemption rate of the battery life, so is it that the larger the battery pack, the better the results?
◆ How do we run this time?
In order to more objectively simulate the environment of everyone's daily use of the car, the first 210km of this endurance competition is a high-speed section, after which the participating vehicles will drive on the urban road in Shunyi District, Beijing, until the vehicle's electricity becomes 0%, the team travel route is unified, and as far as possible in accordance with the daily driving habits of the owners.
◆ Is it the same as you guessed?
Before the final list was announced, I believe that everyone has certain expectations in their hearts, the results of this competition can be described as mixed, the endurance achievement rate of the first place geometric C has reached a staggering 85% or more, although the performance of geometric C in our previous tests has been good, but such a high achievement rate is really surprising to us; and the endurance achievement rate of Weilai ES6, Euler Good Cat GT, Tesla Model 3, Ean S PLUS and Xiaopeng P7 is below 70%. It can be seen that the difference in endurance between different models is still relatively large.
