Three months ago, on a whim, I bought an Ideal ONE for 350,000, and my friends asked me, why not buy a Model Y? In fact, before choosing the ideal ONE, I had considered Tesla, but when I saw the interior like the "rough room", I decisively gave it up. After all, more than 300,000 is not a small amount, or to choose a car that satisfies you. And as the temperature dropped, I felt that my original choice was not wrong.
Because, in the winter in the north, pure electric vehicles are "electric dad", my friend's Model Y ran for two or three hundred kilometers, ready to find a charging pile, and my ideal ONE does not seem to be affected by anything in winter. When driving in the city, I still set the driving mode to pure electric priority, relying only on the battery to drive the drive motor, after many tests found that as long as the foot throttle is not large, it is maintained at a speed of 50km/h, the ideal ONE pure electric mileage can reach 150km+, and it is opened.
However, if you usually have a heavy foot and do not want to charge frequently, it is still recommended to switch the driving mode to "oil-electric hybrid". Here to tell you about it, the ideal ONE's "oil-electric hybrid" model, in fact, is not the same as the hybrid model, its engine does not participate in the drive, but acts as a smart generator, just for power generation, so in the driving process can also be clearly felt, when the pure electricity priority mode switches to the hybrid state of oil and electricity, the power output will hardly have a sense of abruptness, still very smooth.
Because of this, compared to my friend's Model Y, my ideal ONE is more suitable for self-driving travel, because I don't always have to worry about not enough battery life, as long as the NEDC pure electric mileage displayed by the instrument is less than 50km, I will switch the driving mode to "oil-electricity hybrid", so that I don't have to worry about finding charging piles, worrying about queuing and other charging piles. My friend's Model Y wasn't working, so whenever we drove out together, he would let me run after him because he had charging piles planned on his line.
Although the number of charging piles has been increasing in the past two years, the last time we traveled by car, we found that many small places did not have charging piles, and the power supply facilities still had great limitations. However, this did not affect me, because the ideal ONE can be directly replenished by adding No. 95 gasoline, and the most important thing on the land of Shenzhou is the gas station. As for fuel consumption, I roughly calculated that when the power is sufficient, it is about 6L/100km, and when there is no power, that is, the lowest state of charge, the fuel consumption is about 9L/100km.
To be honest, I can still accept this fuel consumption, after all, my ideal ONE is more than five meters long and weighs more than 2 tons, which is much more fuel efficient than most SUVs of the same class. What's more, usually in the city, basically use charging piles to charge, only when running high-speed or long-distance, will use the hybrid mode of oil and electricity. Therefore, in my opinion, this design of the ideal ONE is indeed more economical.
Of course, compared to my friend's Model Y, I spend a little more on the cost of travel than him, but the efficiency has also increased a lot, and there is no so-called mileage anxiety, and there is no need to worry about shortening the winter endurance. Therefore, when I saw someone commenting on the Internet that "Volkswagen CEOs are not optimistic about range extender electric technology", I thought that Volkswagen's ID.6 X could not carry anything in the winter in the north or running a long distance.
In short, in my opinion, in the current era when the power supply infrastructure is not fully covered, and the battery technology is not perfect, the extended range electric vehicle is undoubtedly the most suitable "solution", take my ideal ONE, it is the same as the Model Y, not only can be green card, free of purchase tax, the feeling of opening up is not much different, and more importantly, it does not have mileage anxiety. Therefore, I think that within 10 years, as long as there are no policy restrictions, range-extended electric vehicles like the ideal ONE will not become obsolete.
