"Have you seen Los Angeles at 4 a.m."?"
Beijing electric vehicle owners said: We have not seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, but at 4 a.m. we often use charging piles in Shunyi, Beijing.
According to a recent beijing daily investigation of a parking lot equipped with public charging piles in Niulanshan Town, Shunyi, some new energy car owners entered the market at 4 a.m., just to grab an empty charging pile, commenting that "it is as exciting as stealing mines."
Buying an electric car, although enjoying the preferential treatment of license plates, fuel costs and follow-up maintenance, charging is a big problem. It is good to have the conditions to install private piles at home, otherwise walking up every three to five shopping malls and grabbing public piles in the middle of the night will become a part of life. If you want to steal at home for a while, you can't be lazy, and you have to go out to give the electric car a life without any obstacles.
"Hand-to-hand charging" can't stop the harsh reality
Some friends have consulted Xiaozhi's opinion before buying a car, saying that although their own community can not install private piles, but considering that many large and medium-sized shopping malls are now charging, mobile phone APP searched for a lot of charging piles available within 3 kilometers of the vicinity, want to buy a pure electric vehicle, shopping, watching movies by hand on the electricity.
Xiao Zhi considered that this was the girl's first car, appeared to say, and briefly explained the stakes of the public charging pile. Take the nearest Jiaotong University Library charging station as an example, not to mention that one degree of electricity is 1.96 yuan, which is much higher than the price of 0.7 yuan / kWh of the State Grid, where private vehicles cannot enter at all, and only limited licensees are eligible. Checked the charging records of the outlet, still stuck in 2017, before the outbreak of the epidemic.
Xiaozhi also let friends compare the charging location displayed by AutoNavi map and a charging pile APP, and found that the overlap between the two is not high, and a closer look found that most of them are concentrated in parks, enterprises and institutions and luxury residential areas, and in the case of epidemic prevention and control, almost can't get in.
In contrast, nearby business districts such as Xujiahui, etc., charging resources are relatively rich, but the flow of people is large, parking fees are also high, can not be arranged to the right fast charging pile, all rely on luck, in the parking lot and waiting in the process, the wallet is also a little bit down.
Another thing to remember is to bring your own double-headed gun when you go out, so as not to encounter the embarrassing situation of no gun in the queue.
In other large cities or suburbs such as Beijing, charging is even more difficult, and it is even more difficult for consumers to joke, "Charging is as exciting as stealing mines."
Beijing Daily recently investigated a parking lot equipped with public charging piles in Niulanshan Town, Shunyi District, and found that new energy car owners entered the scene at 4 a.m., grabbing the only vacant seat among the 10 charging piles.
Charging is difficult, it will only intensify, not slow down
The difficulty of charging can not stop everyone's determination to buy new energy vehicles, and the expansion of new energy vehicle sales will only make charging more difficult.
In the first 11 months of this year, the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles were 2.99 million units, an increase of 166.8% year-on-year, of which the penetration of new energy vehicles reached 20% in September and November. Sales of new energy vehicles are also expected to continue to rise. Caambiz predicts that in 2022, sales of new energy vehicles will be 5 million, an increase of 47% year-on-year.
Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, is more optimistic about estimating that the overall penetration rate of new energy vehicles in 2022 should be 25-27%, and the corresponding sales should be 5-5.5 million.
He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng, also recently said that the penetration rate of new energy is expected to increase to 50% in 2025, which is 2.5 times the national planning target.
In addition to the increase in sales, the performance of electric vehicles has also improved significantly compared with earlier years. In addition to those A00-class cars, the current electric vehicles can basically reach about 400 kilometers, and some flagship models can have a range of 600-700 kilometers, which can also alleviate mileage anxiety and reduce the charging burden.
However, the systemic problem of charging difficulties also needs to be solved by regulatory authorities, state grids, charging pile companies and related enterprises and institutions.
Driving an electric car home during the Spring Festival will only be more difficult than eleven
During the eleventh long holiday this year, electric vehicles are difficult to charge and the nest is out of the limelight. The Spring Festival is approaching, whether to go home for the New Year, whether to drive home has become a big problem for new energy car owners.
At present, the vast majority of new energy vehicles on the market will encounter the problem of significantly shortening the mileage in winter. Winter weather is colder, charging is slower, is the most difficult time for new energy car owners.
"I thought that the maximum battery life was 20% off, but I didn't expect to shrink by nearly half, and if I turned on auxiliary functions such as seat heating, the endurance would be 250 kilometers." An electric vehicle owner in Shanghai said that his car has a standard endurance of 520 kilometers, and can run up to 300 kilometers at low temperatures, with a 40% discount.
According to incomplete statistics, the mileage of low-temperature electric vehicles has shrunk, and the car companies involved include Tesla, Weilai, BYD and many other mainstream car companies. After years of development, the mileage of new energy vehicles is constantly improving, but at low temperatures, its mileage is far from the manufacturer's calibrated mileage.
"Before there was no cooling, we filled it with DC fast charge for half an hour, and now that it's cold, the full charge will be extended by an hour." In the past, it only needed to be charged twice a day, but now it is charged three times a day in cold weather. An electric taxi driver said.
Now that outbreaks are sporadic, driving can reduce the frequency of contact with large numbers of people, which is a good choice. But seeing the shrinking mileage in sub-zero weather, new energy vehicle owners really can't get up.
Write at the end
The essence of the car is a consumer product, many people buy new energy vehicles is actually a free green card, and the cost of charging in the later stage is low, comprehensive calculation, it seems to take a lot of cheap.
However, whether there are conditions for daily parking and charging is still an important reference for buying a car. If you don't consider the consequences, rushing to buy a new energy vehicle but can't use the car smoothly, that is to find a father for yourself.
