Anyone who has ridden a battery car knows that in the winter, the battery life of the battery car will be significantly reduced. The same is true for electric vehicles, every winter, electric vehicles will shorten the endurance, shortened by 20%, 30% is a common thing, and even electric vehicles will shrink by more than 50%. So, is there an electric car that has no battery life anxiety in the winter and can still maintain the same level of battery life as in the summer? The ideal ONE I'm going to talk about today is one of them.
Before talking about why the ideal ONE can achieve winter endurance anxiety, we can first talk about why the electric vehicle has a shorter endurance in winter. In fact, this is related to the physical characteristics of lithium batteries, in a low temperature environment, the battery activity of lithium batteries will be reduced, so that the storage capacity of lithium batteries is only 80% or even lower at room temperature, which is also one of the root causes of the shortening of electric vehicle life in winter. Therefore, in order to ensure that the winter endurance is not shortened, many new energy vehicle companies are developing battery insulation and heating technologies.
Looking back at the ideal ONE, this car has no battery life anxiety, in fact, it is also related to the lithium battery pack. The Ideal ONE is not a conventional pure electric vehicle, it uses range extended power. This also makes the battery pack volume of the ideal ONE not particularly large, in pure electric mode, the battery pack can provide the ideal ONE with an endurance of nearly 200 kilometers. Of course, some people may say, what can such a short endurance do? This is actually the nature of your lack of understanding of the power of the extender.
The so-called range extender power is a short-distance electricity, long-distance power generation technology, in fact, the ideal ONE endurance of 1080 kilometers, longer than the vast majority of new energy vehicles. In the process of actual travel, the ideal ONE's intelligent power generation system will generate electricity for the battery pack, which will then use the electrical energy to drive the dual motors. Such a structure allows the battery pack of the ideal ONE to be maintained at the right temperature for a longer time, so that the lithium battery remains active and the endurance is not reduced, so even in winter, the ideal ONE can also achieve an endurance of about 1000 kilometers.
In addition, with the blessing of the range extender power, the ideal ONE can also be refueled and recharged, which conventional electric vehicles cannot do. Therefore, when running long distances, the owner of the ideal ONE does not need to worry about whether there is a charging pile on the road like the owner of a pure electric vehicle, nor does it need to spend several hours or even a dozen hours on the road waiting for charging, but can directly go to the gas station to supplement the battery life, which greatly facilitates the travel experience of the owner, so that the practicality of the electric vehicle is not lost to the fuel car. Of course, the ideal ONE can also hang a green card, do not have to worry about the problem of line restrictions.
With such high practicality, the ideal ONE sales in the market are also quite good. Like this November, ideal ONE's monthly sales reached 13,438 units, ranking second in the new energy SUV market for monthly sales, only lower than Tesla Model Y car sales. In the medium and large SUV segment, the ideal ONE is the sales king, and the sales volume of the old medium and large SUV with similar pricing is close to the Volkswagen Tuon, and the sales volume is not as good as the ideal ONE. Even the November sales of the ideal ONE are higher than the November sales of all medium and large SUVs in the Volkswagen family combined.
Looking back at the September 2020 Volkswagen China CEO's evaluation of the ideal ONE and the "worst, unenvironmental, nonsense" of the extender power, you will find that the ideal ONE equipped with the extender power is not so bad. Even the range extender power is a solution that is more recognized by users at present, and the user's trust in the range extender power is higher than that of pure electric vehicles, and it is not impossible to say that it is the current "best solution".
