For new energy vehicle owners, the shortening of the endurance of winter travel is quite a troubling thing, and the endurance of many electric vehicles can even be reduced by 50%, which seriously affects the travel experience of car owners. In such a situation, new energy vehicles such as Ideal ONE, Lantu FREE, Xuanyi E-POWER, and the recently released Huawei Q&I M5 that choose or provide range extender power will actually be a more suitable choice. However, some people may be curious, why is the above-mentioned extended range electric vehicle suitable for winter travel, and what is the difference between them and pure electric vehicles?
Before looking at the ideal ONE, we can first understand why the pure electric winter car experience is poor. The answer is three points, and the shrinking winter battery life just mentioned is actually just one of the reasons. In addition, the charging speed of pure electric vehicles is not fast enough, and the number of charging piles is not enough is also two more important reasons. After all, even if the battery life is shortened, if the charging speed is fast and the charging pile is easier to find, then the owner will not have too much endurance anxiety.
So, how to solve the problem of the above three aspects of the ideal ONE range extended electric vehicle?
First of all, from the perspective of endurance shrinkage, there are two parts that affect the ideal ONE endurance, one is the battery pack, and the other is the fuel tank. Among them, the battery pack can provide a maximum of 188 kilometers of pure electric endurance, while the ideal ONE's comprehensive endurance is 1080 kilometers, that is to say, the majority of the ideal ONE endurance is that the fuel in the fuel tank is generated by intelligent generators, and the dual motor is powered to drive the endurance. In this way, when the ideal ONE is driving in winter, even if the pure electric endurance has shrunk, there will be no too obvious reduction, and it will not affect the overall endurance. Ideal ONE's fuel will still be continuously transmitted to the intelligent generator to generate electricity, used to supply energy to the ideal ONE, so the ideal ONE can still easily travel about 1000 kilometers in winter.
Charging speed is not fast enough for the ideal ONE is not a problem, and unlike the electric car that often charges for several hours, the ideal ONE with range extender power has achieved oilable electricity. That is to say, charging is not the only way for the ideal ONE to restore the battery life, the ideal ONE can still go to the gas station to easily replenish the battery life. In this way, when running long distances, the ideal ONE only needs to spend a few minutes to complete the energy replenishment operation, and does not need to waste too much time on the road to ensure that the owner can reach the destination in time.
The characteristics of oilable and electric also allow the ideal ONE to easily find a place to supplement the battery life, and now the problem of insufficient number of domestic charging piles is solved in front of the ideal ONE, and enough gas stations can also supplement the battery life for the ideal ONE. It is precisely for this reason that the ideal ONE can also be unimpeded on the route of Ali North Line, which is not covered by charging piles, becoming the first new energy vehicle to conquer Ali North Line.
It is precisely because of the various characteristics of the range extender power that the ideal ONE, which was listed earlier, has been recognized by many consumers. In November this year, ideal ONE's bicycle sales reached 13,438 units, the first domestic model priced at more than 300,000 units, and can also sell more than 10,000 units in a single month. If you compare Volkswagen's medium and large SUV, you will find that the sum of November sales of all of Volkswagen's medium and large SUVs is only 12445 units, and there is a sales gap with the ideal ONE. Looking back at Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan's assessment of the "worst solution" to range-up power, we will find that this evaluation is biased. In the current car environment, range extender power is more suitable than pure electric.
