Brother Meow this time in Shenyang participated in BYD's dolphin winter endurance test drive, we all know that the biggest problem of the tram now is the winter endurance, not to say half a discount in winter, directly to the fracture. So this time BYD directly challenged their dolphins in Shenyang to see if its endurance was broken or half discounted in Shenyang's weather? Today we have been driving it all day, and there are some competitive models, let's see how its endurance is?
Our one-day test drive route design is around the second and fourth ring roads in Shenyang City, as well as the middle of the connection line in the running, the total mileage design is about 275 kilometers, basically covering part of the highway, part of the urban expressway, and part of the urban road, and we usually commute and commute to the road environment close. After more than 7 hours a day, in Shenyang like a donkey pulling mill, around the Shenyang circle test, finally let's look at the data comparison.
The minimum temperature of the day test is 6 degrees, the maximum temperature is 9 degrees at noon, the entire test time is 7 hours, for the sake of fairness, the temperature in the whole car is set to 24 degrees, the seat heating is closed, using the economic mode standard, giving back to the test down this day, the dolphin's apparent driving range is 272 kilometers, ID4 is 273 kilometers, the actual electricity consumption dolphin is 84% of the electricity, ID4 is 66% of the electricity.
The actual electricity consumption of 100 kilometers calculated from the above data is 13.86 degrees for dolphins and 20.16 degrees for ID4. Because the two cars have different battery pack capacities, and the types of batteries are different, plus the Dolphin is a hatchback car, and the ID4 is an SUV model, so we are not good at horizontal comparison. But I thought of a way, that is, to make their actual power consumption and actual mileage, through the data inversion, and their NEDC endurance to compare, to see who is closer.
The final data is the dolphin's actual endurance, accounting for 79.95% of the NEDC's nominal endurance, while the actual endurance of the ID4 accounts for 79.54% of the nominal endurance. Although the data of the two of them is very close, but we look at the type of battery pack of the two of them, we will find that the dolphin uses BYD's own lithium iron phosphate blade battery, and ID4 uses a ternary lithium battery, we all know that in the low temperature environment, the ternary lithium battery is better than the performance of lithium iron phosphate.
From this data, we can also roughly calculate that as the first model of BYD E platform 3.0, Dolphin, lies in thermal management, and indeed has its advantages. For the battery life of two cars, to meet our daily car transportation, commuting and short commuting, as far as the dolphin's endurance is concerned, I personally think it is enough. Because on the day of the test drive, 7 hours were really all on the road, and although the temperature did not reach minus zero, this temperature was enough to meet most of our country.
According to the dolphin's final running method, it is completely fine to run more than 300 kilometers. In addition, the fast charging time of the two cars can reach 80% of the power in half an hour. If there are some fast charging stations in the city that are more convenient to charge, for most places in the country, the mileage anxiety like dolphins and ID4 can basically be resolved, after all, as a family car, from a very practical point of view, there are most friends who drive a day's mileage, basically will not exceed 100 kilometers.
In addition to this endurance test, A very important problem I have to say is that many friends have feedback that electric vehicles are easy to get motion sickness when they sit up. In fact, I have tested so many times before, and I have never encountered it. But this time when I was test driving the ID4, I really came across it. At the moment of deceleration, when the kinetic energy is recovered, the same electric machine emits a nourishing sound, and this nourishing sound is actually not beautiful.
And after this kind of nourishing sound was conveyed, after I opened the morning anyway, I felt less pleasant. It is estimated that some people who are more sensitive to this sound, especially those who are more sensitive to this frequency, may have a feeling of wanting to vomit. And the sound is a bit similar to that when we were children playing with bottle caps to rub glass, it sounded very low-frequency but very harsh.
This sound will make you particularly anxious after it sounds, so over time, you will have a particularly manic, a feeling of motion sickness. But in the afternoon, when we test drove dolphins, I also deliberately listened to a sound carefully, and found that the dolphins basically could not hear this sound. Although the sound of the motor is there, but its sound, and the kind of low-frequency sound that nourishes, it is not the same, it does not sound so harsh, obviously feel much more comfortable.
So with this matter, I also want to remind everyone that if we go to buy a tram, it is recommended that we must first go to test drive, especially if someone in the family is more sensitive to this sound, or if there is someone in the family who is motion sick, go to the test ride in advance, so as to avoid buying it at that time, if you can't stand it, you will be very embarrassed. During the test drive, I actually have a good feeling for dolphins.
Because the space utilization rate of this car is indeed very high, although the length of the car is only a little more than 4 meters, but the internal space is not inferior to the ID4, in addition to the trunk is smaller, the front and rear seat space, they seem to be similar. However, in terms of chassis tuning, Volkswagen's chassis is indeed more reassuring and solid than BYD's chassis. Including all aspects of the precision of the steering, it will give you more confidence.
If you were to ask me who I would choose for two cars? Including ID3, although the price is cheaper than ID4, but I will tell you the truth, from a practical point of view, I will still choose dolphins. Although before I went to the test drive, I also felt that the price of the dolphin was a little higher, and I felt that BYD was a little floaty? But after comparing the test drive, I found that in fact, just like in our ordinary lives, a lot of happiness is better than the truth.
First of all, in terms of price, the price of an ID4 can buy two dolphins. And the blade battery of lithium iron phosphate used by dolphins is more reassuring than the ternary lithium battery in terms of safety. In addition, in the subsequent use of the car, Dolphin provides a 6-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, while ID4 only provides a three-year or 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, and on the warranty of the battery pack we care about most, Dolphin directly gives the first owner an unlimited warranty of unlimited years and unlimited mileage.
But the ID gives an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty, that is to say, for our follow-up car, in terms of worry and worry, I think BYD has really done a lot. If you are not in order to pursue the high sense of the car logo, the dolphin should be a more affordable choice, if with the further increase in production capacity, next year or the following year, the price of the dolphin can have a preferential range of 10,000 to 20,000, I think it is quite fragrant.
