[Aika car shopping guide original]
Electric car owners, do you have endurance anxiety? Is it easy to charge normally? How much is the battery life discounted? Do you dare to turn on the air conditioner in winter?
Also as an electric vehicle owner, when facing these problems, the brain melon is also "buzzing", the endurance is less than 100km do not dare to go out, out of the door do not dare to open the air conditioner ... Fortunately, the progress in the field of electric vehicles in 2021 allows us to see the dawn, and many models have launched 100kWh or even larger capacity battery pack "packages", at least these models are more confident in terms of endurance. The current cost of batteries is not low, and these models equipped with ≥ 100kWh battery packs are not cheap, but the battery capacity is larger, the mileage is longer, and the battery cost is lower. Let's take a look at which models are equipped with ≥100kWh battery packs, and how far can they go, enough to alleviate your battery life anxiety?
>>> Tesla TESLA
Tesla has always led the traffic orientation of the entire electric vehicle market, and assisted driving and core three-electric technologies are in a leading position in the entire industry. Among the current mass-produced Tesla models, the Model S and Model X are equipped with 100kWh battery packs. In layman's terms, in the face of a motor with a strong power output, it is not possible to have a large battery.
Unlike new forces such as Weilai, Tesla is relatively rational in the research of batteries, and pursues practical benefits, and cost control is what Tesla values most at present. It is reported that the Model 3 equipped with 100kWh is also about to enter the field of consumers. Compared with the battery capacity and endurance performance, I think the type of battery is also worth paying attention to, in the current smaller solid-state battery looks like a very good solution, how will Tesla do it?

>>> NIO
At NIO Day 2021 a month ago, NIO released ET5, in addition to its stunning shape design, the optional 150kWh battery pack is also a highlight. Solid-state batteries have once again proved their core advantages of small size and high energy density. The existence of solid-state batteries allows ET5 to have a long endurance while ensuring the graceful body posture of the car.
At present, WEILAI has launched 5 models, from the first model ES8 to the RECENTLY launched ET5, which basically covers the mainstream high-end electric vehicle field. And according to NIO's current technical positioning, all models can be upgraded to 150kWh battery packs. Among them, the ES6/EC6's NEDC cruising range can be increased by more than 900km, while ET5 and ET7 will exceed the 1000km mark.
In the fourth quarter of this year, the "legendary" solid-state battery will meet with us, but the optional price of the 150kWh battery pack will certainly not be cheap, and I don't know how many consumers will be willing to try it and become the first person to eat crab. From the release of ET7 to the present, NIO's development is more comprehensive, with its own unique insights in the fields of design, assisted driving, three-electric technology and intelligence, and has made great progress in many aspects. In 2021, WEILAI delivered more than 90,000 vehicles, second only to Xiaopeng in the new forces, and it is even more valuable for Weilai, which has an average price of more than 350,000 bicycles.

>>> Mercedes-Benz EQS
Not long ago, the flagship model of the Mercedes-Benz EQ series, the EQS, was officially launched, and its starting price of 1.0736 million was much more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class of the W223. Obviously, EQS is only owned by a few people and is a new product that the rich try to get. At the EQS, Mercedes-Benz sacrificed the first battery pack with a capacity of more than 100 kWh, with a capacity of 111.8 kWh, and the clTC's comprehensive cruising range can reach 849 km.
The price is expensive is what many people think about the EQ series, but we put aside the price, EQS is indeed a shocking product. EQS has revolutionized assisted driving as well as intelligence, providing a proof for luxury brands. But we still hope that the EQ series can achieve "the same price of oil and electricity", at least to give people who like the Mercedes-Benz brand a better reason to buy a car.
>>> BMW iX
BMW's only model with a ≥ 100kWh battery pack is the newly launched flagship, the iX. The guidance price of iX is 74.69-99.69 million yuan, and its price range is closer to that of X5, and the more innovative design language has won it a lot of attention.
Although the BMW iX3 is an oil-to-electricity product, its recent sales performance in the market is relatively outstanding, compared with Mercedes-Benz EQC and Audi e-tron has a wider customer base. However, some people still feel that the newly launched iX is too expensive and the product strength in all aspects is not outstanding, what do you think about this?

In addition to the head of the new forces, Weilai, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and BMW in luxury brands, in fact, domestic veteran car companies are also making efforts. For example, GAC's AION, SAIC's Zhiji, geely's Krypton, in these brands have also launched models equipped with large battery packs, let's take a look.
>>>AION LX Plus
For a long time, the AION brand has given people a sense of presence, and its AION S is the main model in the online ride-hailing market. After the successive launch of AION Y, AION S Plus, AION V Plus, as the flagship model of AION LX Plus is late, but the good meal is not afraid of late, 144.4kWh large battery pack, but also today we introduced the largest battery capacity of the model.
The delivery time of the Thousand Mile Edition is in the second quarter of this year, as an SUV model, the endurance is still very worth looking forward to. However, the price of 459,600 is really not cheap, and it is not easy to stand out in the encirclement of Tesla and Weilai.
>>> Zhiji L7
Zhiji L7 is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric car, and it has a very similar "temperament" to WEILAI ET7 in terms of positioning and design. In addition to the regular 93kWh battery pack, the Zhiji L7 will also be equipped with a 115kWh battery pack, but it will take a while to officially meet with everyone.
Nio has proved that in the field of electric vehicles, independent brands can be sold at high prices. Backed by SAIC, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba Group, Zhiji believes that it also has absolute hard power. From the pre-sale of the Shanghai Auto Show last year to the present, zhiji L7 has made us wait too long, and it will officially meet with us in 3 months, can we feel the difference and bring surprises?
＞＞＞ZEEKR 001
The last model we left to the extreme krypton 001, do not look at it, this model is actually the lowest threshold today, as long as 299,000 yuan can drive home. Not only that, the cool hunting car appearance can also appear more personalized, no wonder the extreme Kr 001 is a hit.
This is an electric car that is relatively inexpensive, but the design and power are quite bright. For less than 300,000, you can buy a cool sports car + 100kWh battery pack, which will really make people "drool".
Editor's Comments:
Among most of the models described in this article, there are many similarities in general. For example, all models are over 4700mm long and have a wheelbase of more than 2800mm. And we all know that the 100kWh battery pack needs more space to place, and Weilai has perfectly solved the problem of space through the means of solid-state batteries. In addition, the price of the models introduced in this article is not cheap, even the cost-effective "against the sky" of the extreme Kr 001 also needs 299,000 yuan, and the battery cost is one of the biggest factors affecting the price of electric vehicles.
In addition, the battery suppliers of most models are NINGDE era, among which you can also find lesser-known suppliers such as AVIC lithium battery and Weirui Electric. In the current environment, although the installed capacity of the Ningde era is still the first in the market, and master many core technologies, but the future battery field is likely not to be a unique situation, with the development of the battery field, more and more technology has been popularized, the main engine factory self-research and lower bid suppliers may be more popular.
The large-capacity battery pack may be a little far away from us, because the models equipped with ≥ 100-degree batteries in this inventory are really not cheap, and most of the consumers who can afford to buy these cars are not bad for money. The more high-end electric vehicles are equipped with high-power motors, and the corresponding larger capacity battery packs are used to ensure their endurance performance. As mentioned earlier, larger battery capacity, longer range, and lower battery cost will definitely be the development trend in the future for a period of time. But until the cost of the battery is controlled, many people will still choose a version with a relatively small battery capacity. It may take a while to achieve true "freedom of endurance", and with the gradual popularization of infrastructure, perhaps without the need for a battery pack with too much capacity, electric vehicles can achieve a radius of activity close to that of fuel vehicles.
I think you must still be addicted to the smell of gasoline, but you are not so disgusted with electric daddy!
