"Why are you so successful?" The reporter asked Kobe. "Have you ever seen Los Angeles look like at four in the morning?" Bryant asked rhetorically, how about adapting this sentence.
"Why do you call electric cars electric daddies?" The reporter asked a certain electric vehicle owner. "Have you seen the northern winter at four o'clock in the morning?" The owner of the electric car asked rhetorically. Is there no sense of violation?
In the early morning when most people in China are still sleeping, there have been a group of electric vehicle owners who get up from bed, put on their clothes lightly, put on gloves, and drive their cars to seize parking spaces, and they dare not turn on the air conditioning on the way, because they are afraid of increasing energy consumption and cannot reach the destination, and what they are fighting for is the charging position of electric vehicles.
Speaking of why he got up in the early morning to grab a parking space, the old party said that he was helpless and sad, the reason was nothing more than that he wanted to save some money, and the old party calculated such an account for us:
Originally their own nominal 400 km of electric vehicles, winter can only run more than 200 km, open air conditioning is less than 200 km, two charges a day has become a must, and if the charging pile in the city center, in addition to the charging price and service charge is higher, some of the new forces of car manufacturing charging pile also have to pay overtime fees, and some shopping malls underground parking lot charging piles, an hour need 8 yuan parking fee. And take a fast charging station in Niulanshan Town, Shunyi District, as an example, there is no parking fee, no overtime fee, 11 o'clock at night to 7 o'clock in the morning, is the trough period of electricity prices, each kilowatt hour of electricity is about 6 cents cheaper than the peak of the wave, if calculated, each charge can save at least dozens of expenses, and even save hundreds of yuan.
Therefore, many owners of electric vehicles will choose to charge here, most of them are ride-hailing drivers, or taxi drivers, and a small number of them are family cars. "No one wants to get up so early, especially now that it's so cold in Beijing, but there's no way, it's just to save some money." The tone of a ride-hailing driver charging here is full of helplessness. These online ride-hailing cars and taxis, there are so many daily flows, for the sake of a family can save money.
What makes these ride-hailing drivers angry is that there are 10 charging piles here, but six or seven of them are occupied by fully charged cars, and many people drove the car over last night to charge, full of them and did not move away, and then moved the car the next morning, making the already small number of charging piles more tense.
There are private piles at home, which is the envy of many electric vehicle owners, when they return home, plug in the charging, unplug when they go out, not only convenient, do not have to look for charging piles everywhere, and the electricity price in the trough period is only more than three cents, and the driving cost per kilometer is only a few cents. However, the installation of private charging piles requires the property rights certificate of the parking space, to have the consent of the property, and the high housing prices in Beijing make many people prohibitive, and the price of a parking space is also hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so the use of fast charging pile charging has become a helpless choice for these car owners.
At present, the northern region is not suitable for the purchase of electric vehicles, at least not suitable as the only car used by the family, the current popularity of electric vehicles, there is still a lot of work to be done, such as how to reduce the installation threshold of private piles, how to increase the number of fast charging piles, optimize the charging experience, reduce charging costs, are currently problems with electric vehicles, and before these problems are solved, hybrid models may be a more rational choice for users in the northern region.
