Technology going backwards with the times? New energy taxis forced to install "firewood"

With the further reduction of temperature after winter, the topic of "new energy vehicle endurance avalanche" has been pushed to the cusp of the storm, the main reason is that the current battery technology is not enough to continue to maintain the original storage performance in a cold environment, or the charging facilities are not perfect enough, in the words of a pure electric taxi driver, "Before the car burned oil, although the cost is high, but there are gas stations everywhere, and now driving new energy vehicles, not only poor endurance, charging is not convenient." ”

In winter, it is certainly not possible to drive warm air in the car, but if the pure electric car opens the warm air, it is too expensive, so how can it not use electricity or heat it? Recently, the car uncle learned that Changchun and Songyuan in Jilin have begun to use the Hongqi E-QM5 as a taxi, but there are still drivers who have not changed cars, in order to attract drivers to change cars, they claim that they can install fuel air conditioning for free.

Fuel air conditioning is to rely on gasoline or ethanol and other fuels for heating, because heating does not need to consume electricity, so the vehicle's cruising range can be increased by 60-80km. In addition, many taxi drivers in Beijing have also installed firewood, that is, diesel heaters, although the cost of using diesel heating is low and the effect is good, but it is actually prohibited, because this may involve vehicle modification, and even there are safety hazards.

The purpose of promoting new energy vehicles is to be low-carbon environmental protection, but it brings a lot of trouble to users, and whether it is to install fuel air conditioning or firewood, and finally to use fossil fuels, the key is to install these additional equipment for vehicles There may be safety hazards, but taxi drivers prefer to install additional equipment rather than use the air conditioning that comes with the original car, is this a technical regression?

What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
