For all electric vehicle owners, winter can be said to be the nightmare of endurance, especially the owners of the north, every three or nine cold winter is difficult to endure, and dare to "go against the grain" in winter, electric vehicle manufacturers that hold endurance test activities, their self-confidence and courage and dare to face the pain points of the car are commendable, today's courageous manufacturer is extreme krypton, in Beijing just nine times, extreme Kr 001 to bring us its endurance performance.
※ Endurance test
Today our test vehicle is the Krypton 001 ultra-long endurance single motor WE version, which is the only version in the series with a single motor and the longest battery life.
The activity is carried out on the second day after the winter solstice, the temperature in Beijing is below zero on the day, from the departure to the end of the activity, the outdoor temperature of the car is -1 ° C, this temperature is the need to open the warm air throughout the process to not be very painful, but also a very test of the endurance of the electric vehicle test temperature.
The trip is from downtown Beijing to the suburbs, after filming and then back to the starting point, nearly 70km one way, 90% of which are urban ring roads and highways, in addition to cold, high-speed driving is a challenge to the endurance of electric vehicles, under such a double test, we began today's trip.
Based on the average power consumption of the car display, we calculate that this extreme Kr 0001 ultra-long endurance single motor WE version with a 100kWh battery pack has an actual cruising range of 483km, which is 68% compared with the 712km of NEDC. In today's weather conditions and highway conditions, this data is not bad, belongs to the middle and upper positions, looking at the current electric vehicle market, under the same conditions the endurance rate can exceed this number of cars are not many.
Let's take a brief look at the technologies and measures to improve the endurance of the extreme krypton 001, first of all, the ni55 + battery of the extreme krypton 001 has chosen the 523 ternary lithium battery scheme that takes into account both safety and endurance (the ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese is 5:2:3), in order to improve the energy density, the Ni55+ cell will increase the maximum operating voltage of the single body from 4.2V to 4.35V, which is equivalent to increasing the capacity by increasing the height of the barrel.
In terms of thermal management of the whole vehicle, the vehicle also has a direct heat pump system, PTC auxiliary heating, electric drive active heating, electric drive waste heat insulation, battery heat storage temperature zone adjustment these technologies to achieve fine and efficient temperature control of the three electric systems, thereby further improving the endurance.
※ The power of a single motor is GTI level
The dual motor version has 3.8 seconds of the ability to break the hundred, the acceleration performance can be described as horror, the output data of the single motor version is less than half, and the double motor is indeed not in a grade, but by the standard of the family car, the power of this car is also very sufficient, after all, its hundred use is less than 7 seconds, which is the level of domestic GTI.
In the comfort mode, the power of the vehicle can be completely done on the city road, whether it is starting or overtaking, it can bring you a good self-confidence, high-speed driving I deliberately tried it, 100km / h when the acceleration ability is not pulled crotch, a foot electric door down the vehicle can also bring obvious acceleration action, although not as violent as the dual motor version, but for the family car has been in place.
Chassis, because there is no air suspension, so the sense of driving is not so obvious, but the difference really needs to be carefully experienced to feel, and I personally feel that there is no empty suspension chassis to give people a more solid feeling, before in a million-level luxury SUV also has this feeling, so whether to choose air suspension, everyone really have to consider it.
Like the dual-motor four-wheel drive version, the feeling of this car driving up is also quite good, the response of the front of the car and the follow of the rear can be achieved in one go, the rhythm is never delayed, and the steering and suspension adjustments are also very smooth, and the feeling of softness and toughness is not boring at all.
The suspension support is relatively in place, and the performance is definitely worthy of the name of the luxury sports hunting coupe. Overall, this single-motor rear-drive version of the Krypton 001 without air suspension is still an electric car with a certain amount of fun, and the basic comfort is also quite in place, but the acceleration ability is not so scary.
※ The single-motor krypton 001 is also worth choosing
Before the test drive of the dual motor version of the krypton 001, the dynamic performance of the car left a good impression on me, this time to experience the single motor version, in addition to not so terrible acceleration ability, other aspects of the performance is basically the same, and this car also has a longer endurance, so if there is no strong demand for power, this single motor version of the extreme krypton 001 is really worth considering.
