In the November domestic automobile sales data released by the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, it was pointed out that from January to November this year, the cumulative retail sales of new energy vehicles were 2513977, and the year-on-year growth rate was as high as 178.3%, which shows that the new energy market as the core of the market is still strong. However, from the perspective of market layout, the new energy vehicle market has a serious polarization, especially in the northeast region, its cumulative sales of new energy vehicles in 2020 are only 9943, and even less than the monthly sales of a popular new energy model.
The core factor of new energy vehicles in the northeast region is the extremely severe cold weather in the northeast region, serious battery waste, slow charging, difficulty in charging and plummeting vehicle performance, etc., which have become the problems of electric vehicles in the cold environment. However, in the near future, there is such an electric vehicle to challenge the cold weather, with a lower test temperature than the national standard, challenging a more stringent test environment, which is the Xiaopeng P5.
In late December, Xiaopeng P5 conducted an extreme cold test at a temperature lower than the national standard test temperature (-18°) at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, and successfully completed remote start-up and extreme cold defrost tests in an extremely cold environment. For the "cold and cold" electric vehicles, the success of the Xiaopeng P5 challenge means that a new blueprint will be opened up for electric vehicles. But back to the fundamentals, why in the extremely cold environment that many electric vehicles are afraid of, Xiaopeng P5 can calmly cope with it? This all comes from the "winning magic weapon" carried by Xiaopeng P5.
The reason why electric vehicles will have serious performance degradation problems in a cold environment, which is inseparable from the characteristics of lithium batteries, in a low temperature environment, the liquid electrolyte becomes viscous, and the lithium electron activity is greatly reduced, so there will be a sudden drop in performance. To solve this problem, ensuring vehicle temperature is undoubtedly the core of it. The X-HP intelligent thermal management system equipped with xiaopeng P5 is undoubtedly its artifact to fight against the cold.
X-HP intelligent thermal management system can intelligently control the temperature of the power system according to the needs of the power system, so that the power system can be maintained in the best working temperature range in the temperature range of -30 °C -55 °C, in practical applications, not only can ensure the thermal safety of the power system, combined with the Xiaopeng P5 same level of rare motor waste heat recovery technology, but also can maximize the recovery of vehicle energy consumption during operation, but also shorten the charging time and increase the mileage, basically meet the needs of more than 90% of domestic urban users.
In the cold winter, electric vehicles not only have to ensure that the battery temperature is maintained at a normal operating level, but also have another focus on ensuring the comfort of the car. To this end, Xiaopeng P5 in the same level for the first time equipped with heat pump air conditioning and is the standard of the whole series, in the case of extremely low temperature (-10 ° below), Xiaopeng P5 can be heated by water heater for air conditioning and battery heating; and at an ambient temperature above -10 °C, Xiaopeng P5 is switched to the use of heat pump system for air conditioning heating, so that its endurance in winter is about 15% higher than that of traditional PTC heating, even in cold areas, it can have the ultimate product experience, without fear of low temperature effects.
And Xiaopeng P5 as an electric vehicle, the energy source is more direct, its heating speed is also faster than the fuel vehicle, while Xiaopeng P5 is also equipped with a standard anti-fog sensor and an independent defrost damper, when the humidity in the car is detected, you can open the independent defrost damper to remove fog, effectively prevent the problem of fogging and frosting. At the same time, combined with the characteristics of X-HP intelligent thermal management system can operate normally above -30 °, Xiaopeng P5 does not need a low-temperature hot car, and can instantly enter the operating state after cold start, completely exceeding the international requirements of 7 seconds to complete the start-up standard. This also means that Xiaopeng P5 in the low temperature environment can not only let you immediately have a warm car environment, but also the unique advantage of "power on and go" also greatly improves the efficiency of daily travel, which is incomparable to fuel vehicles.
Whether it is for electric vehicles or fuel vehicles, if you want to operate normally in a harsh environment, technology is a sharp blade, but the fundamental lies in the brand's pursuit of product quality. For Xiaopeng P5, the reason why it can complete this test, X-HP intelligent thermal management system is certainly its sharp blade to challenge the extreme cold, but "Pengpai quality" is the basis of Xiaopeng P5 swinging this sharp blade.
From the beginning of the establishment of the brand, Xiaopeng Motors is committed to focusing on research and development, strict control of quality, multi-dimensional safety, innovative intelligent services, creating a reliable quality technology brand, with advanced manufacturing technology and management processes to achieve comprehensive protection from design and development, manufacturing, to supply chain quality; at the same time, thanks to the leading scientific and technological innovation capabilities and the strength of intelligent car leaders, Xiaopeng Motors has established many industry-leading Xiaopeng standards and pioneering intelligent function verification standards to ensure that smart cars are safer and more reliable and more user-friendly. In order to bring the same quality of automotive products, which is also the root of "Pengpai quality".
Pengpai quality has also received many recognitions in the industry, and in the recently released 2021 J.D. In the results of various power research tests, in the 2021 China New Energy Product Attractiveness Index Study (NEV-APEAL), Xiaopeng P7 won the first place in the charm index of the medium-sized pure electric market, and was the first model in the industry to obtain this result. In the 2021 J.D. Power China Energy Vehicle New Quality Study (NEV-IQS), the Xiaopeng G3 ranked first in the quality of energy vehicle compact models. Moreover, Xiaopeng G3 is also the first new car manufacturer to win the championship in this segment, among which, driving experience, infotainment systems, seats, etc., G3 has won the first place in the consumer satisfaction score. Such a high market reputation also confirms the high-quality strength brought by "Pengpai quality".
Judging from the current development trend of the automotive industry, new energy vehicles will inevitably become the core of the future, which is not only related to the domestic market, but also related to the international market. However, for now, the regional temperature difference is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the development of new energy, so in recent years, new energy vehicle companies are trying to overcome the problem of temperature control efficiency, the purpose of which is to make new energy vehicles adapt to different regional environments and obtain greater market development. The emergence of Xiaopeng P5's X-HP intelligent thermal management system has officially broken the restrictions of the low-temperature environment for new energy vehicles, which not only means the technical success of Xiaopeng P5, but also indicates that new energy vehicles have officially broken the temperature limit and officially entered the stage of regional development, which is undoubtedly very representative of the new energy automobile industry.
However, I personally feel that for the current new energy market, it is important to steadily develop the market, but more importantly, under the premise of rapid development, it must have a high-quality guarantee, which is also the key to whether consumers can choose new energy vehicles. Xiaopeng Motors is also well aware of this and has always strictly controlled product quality to provide consumers with the most reliable product protection. It is also this deeply popular quality assurance, Xiaopeng Automobile has delivered more than 10,000 yuan for 3 consecutive months since September, and in November it has won the first crown in the sales of new car-making forces, with a cumulative delivery volume of more than 120,000 units in history, becoming a hot new car-making force today.
But of course, the quality assurance of Xiaopeng Automobile is not only in the product, Xiaopeng Automobile has also achieved comprehensive coverage in service quality, gradually established a perfect service system, and launched a new system brand X-service and official second-hand car business this year to provide users with intimate services for the whole process of guarantee. With the performance of Xiaopeng Automobile in the three major areas of quality, service and technology, I believe that in the near future, Xiaopeng Automobile will bring us more different surprises.
