introduction:
In the summer, I love two things the most, one is to string up strings, and the other is to ride my little electric car around the streets of the city. The night in the city is always full of confusion, but the cool breeze blowing in the face seems to be the true meaning of life. Of course, this beauty is also limited to summer.
In winter, the little electric donkey that followed me in all directions was like a ball deflated. In the summer, I can run tens of kilometers with two hundred pounds, and now it is difficult to buy a vegetable outside the community. In the final analysis, it is the reason for the battery. As we all know, the battery's favorite working environment is about 25 degrees, every drop of 10 degrees Celsius, its reserve of electricity will be reduced by 20 percent, if it is reduced below 0 degrees, the rate of decline will be faster, can reach more than 30 percent. In simple terms, if the operating ambient temperature reaches minus 5 degrees, the battery's storage efficiency will be lost by more than 70%.
The range was drastically reduced by 200 kilometers
Coincidentally, a news on the CCTV financial channel recently unveiled the truth about "electric vehicles", which is really unacceptable after watching it.
According to CCTV Finance, Master Wang (pseudonym), who lives in Beijing's Shunyi District, is a taxi driver who was forced to replace his work vehicle with a new energy electric vehicle because of local policy reasons. Since changing into an electric car, Master Wang (pseudonym) has been plagued by mileage anxiety all day, and whenever he looks at some inter-provincial big jobs that he can't pick up, he is always a little sad.
However, these are not the main problems. In the winter, Master Wang was even more distressed. The mileage has shrunk by two-thirds, and it can usually drive a car of three hundred kilometers, but due to the drop in temperature, the mileage has dropped sharply by two hundred kilometers, not to mention inter-provincial. Even once, Master Wang collected the car at night and turned off the fire when he was still a kilometer away from the community. There was no way, Master Wang had to call his family to push the cart, the temperature was close to zero, and Master Wang returned home soaked in sweat.
Queue up at 4 a.m. to charge
According to Master Wang, due to the opposition of the neighbors in the community, he could not install charging piles in the community, and he had to go to the nearby charging station every time he charged. And the nearby new energy car owners have the same situation as Master Wang, which makes the charging pile more and more sought-after. In desperation, Master Wang had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning every day to charge, and it would not be able to queue up late, which would also affect the daytime car, but even if he got up at 4 a.m., he would queue up until 5 o'clock to charge.
See here, there must be friends to ask, since charging is so troublesome, then the use of direct rental battery replacement is not time-saving and trouble-free? The answer is no. According to the financial channel interview with the staff of the substation, due to the increase in the number of vehicles that need to be replaced, the substation is currently in a state of load work. From the staff, I also learned that every day from about ten o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, there is an endless stream of cars that come to change batteries. Moreover, the number of batteries is limited, and it is not guaranteed that each battery that the owner changes is fully charged, and can only be replaced with more power.
Why are there not enough charging facilities
Some time ago, Shen Hui, CEO of WM Motors, posted on Weibo: "A total of 40,000 cars were delivered this year, but nearly half of the charging piles with the car were not sent out." One of the main reasons is that local properties are afraid of affecting the safety of residents, after all, there is no benefit and only risky things will be done by fools.
Previously, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers exposed a set of data, as of September 2021, the ratio of new energy vehicles to charging piles in China is only 3:1. It is worth noting that these are all big data averages, such as the number of charging piles in third-tier cities and the number of first-tier cities. If it is fine to the average of each city, it is probably a third-tier small city or a car owner in the countryside, who is pulling a wire to charge at home.
epilogue:
As experts say, new energy vehicles are the product of the eight economic and peaceful years, the low temperature in winter is still a horizontal ditch that electric vehicles cannot overcome, and the popularity of charging piles is like a natural danger that hinders the development of new energy vehicles. Coupled with the 30% decline in the national subsidy for new energy vehicles this year, the attitude of car companies to increase prices, Li Bin, the founder of Weilai Automobile, may have an answer to the question "Why do people still buy oil trucks".
