In the blink of an eye, it is the fourth year of the first year, presumably those who return to their hometown for the New Year, especially the owners of electric vehicles, are nestling in the fire in the hall to take a nap. At this time, eating, drinking, chatting with family, even if it is to watch the Spring Festival Gala repeatedly, as long as you do not drive, everything is warm and comfortable.
The reporter also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the holiday was not over and go back to his hometown in Pingjiang to have a look. Looking over and over the mileage, looking for the energy station, I found that a Tesla with a full power range of 440 kilometers did not dare to easily go on the road. There is only one reason: subsequent replenishment cannot be guaranteed.
Since it is once again determined that it is inconvenient to return to my hometown, then cruise the car river in Changsha: everyone is gone, and I am the "biggest" in the whole city!
How big is Changsha? Run a lap in 50 minutes
If you run around Changsha around the highway around the city, this is really of little significance. Therefore, the reporter chose to start from the Xie Zilong Image Art Museum, along the Xiangfu Road Elevated Road to the Wanjiali Road Elevated Highway, north to the Xingsha Liaison Line, the North Second Ring Road to the west, through the West Second Ring Road to return to Xie Zilong This line, with a total length of 63 kilometers, along the way no more than 5 traffic lights.
If you put it in normal times, this circle is estimated to be impossible to run down for two hours, the Xiangfu Road Bridge that cannot go up, the Wanjiali Elevated Labor Road to the Renmin Road section that blocks and stops, and even the West Second Ring Road in the evening peak may make the driver crazy. The Changsha Expressway on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year can even give full play to the driver assistance system of electric vehicles, and the speed of 80km/h throughout the journey is almost without stepping on the brakes. It took only 50 minutes to run a lap without hindrance, and not a single page of the song list in the car music had been played.
Taking a fully charged Tesla as a reference for energy consumption, the difference between the actual mileage and the value of endurance loss is about 12km, which does not exclude the heating of the 3-speed air conditioner in the car, the heating of the 2-speed seat, and the vehicle power consumption caused by the whole process of music and APP use of the car. In general, the outdoor environment in Changsha during the Spring Festival will not cause too much damage to the endurance of electric vehicles, and under normal circumstances, an electric vehicle with a calibrated range of about 400 kilometers can be safely and steadily transferred in Changsha for four or five days without charging.
No one in the smooth Changsha City grabbed the pile
Under normal circumstances, we should drive an electric car to the highway to test to see if there is a refueling situation on the Spring Festival road. However, we have previously written an article to remind car owners that although many charging piles and high-speed charging stations have been added on the Hunan Expressway during the Spring Festival, they still need to plan in advance to avoid embarrassment. To this end, we also do not want to be "embarrassed" on the road, turning to the Spring Festival charging test in Changsha City.
Saying that it is a test is actually more like "dazzling electricity" - showing off the resources that are completely effortless to charge.
The reporter first followed the 12 supercharging stations in Changsha prompted on the Tesla car machine and walked around one by one. Everywhere I went, except for a few Teslas that came to charge temporarily, most of the supercharging piles were idle. If you must say where it is busiest, it is probably the IFS underground parking lot charging station in the city center. Of course, this is not an overfill pile, and there is a Tesla city showroom upstairs.
It is understood that just a few years ago, Tesla opened in the BBK Star City Tiandi Experience Store, which is already Tesla's sixth storefront in Changsha. But even so, the most prominent effect and customer flow at present is still the first store located in IFS. Especially during the Spring Festival, the popularity of many commercial districts in Changsha is not as prosperous as the city center. For example, Wanda Plaza, although there are many car showrooms in the mall, the overall popularity of the mall is not good; and Yuefang, which borders Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, is crowded, even if there are only three car showrooms, but the popularity is extremely lively.
A lot of public resources, fast charge and go home
In addition to the brand charging station, the reporter also came to several larger public charging stations in Changsha. Without exception, it is not difficult to find a charging pile to charge the car, most of the charging piles are in an idle and available state, but compared with usual, there are many fewer charging cars.
Located in a large charging station near the duck shop, the reporter saw that many taxis and private cars will come to charge here on weekdays, one is that there are more charging piles, and the second is that the charging cost of the noon time is still relatively low, and during the Spring Festival, the vehicles that come here to charge are greatly reduced, and occasionally one or two private cars come here to replenish the electricity, and it is also a short charge of half an hour and a half to leave in a hurry. The reporter went forward to inquire, and the owner replied, "Temporarily make up the electricity, you can guarantee that you can drive back, why grab the pile outside?" ”
However, it is a large charging station located near Colorful Oaks in Hexi, because it is mostly service electric taxis all year round, and the charging situation is still relatively busy during the Spring Festival. A driver from Cao Cao's special car told reporters, "Our sports cars already have a routine line, and it is probably close to a specific charging station for lunch and dinner." Recharge, have a meal by the way, and rush to grab the order. ”
【Reporter's Afterword】
Driving in Changsha during the Spring Festival is really cool
If you ask me, what is it like to drive a pure tram in Changsha during the Spring Festival?
I can only answer one word - cool!
There is no need to worry about traffic jams, there is no morning and evening rush hour, and it is fast to go anywhere. No worry about charging at all, special charging, public charging options are many, although charging is much slower than refueling, but I am not in a hurry. There is no worry about tight parking spaces, public parking resources are more vacant than usual, even the most prosperous May Day business district is still not difficult to find parking spaces. Coupled with the quiet and high hardware advantages of the electric vehicle itself, it is the most comfortable time to open an electric vehicle tour at this time.
Of course, the premise of all this is that everyone does not have to face busy work, do not have to compete for a momentary traffic light, and do not have to think too much about life. With the end of the Spring Festival, even when everyone begins to gradually return to the long journey in the sixth and seventh grades, such a comfortable driving environment will disappear, followed by the troubles of the past: traffic jams, parking difficulties, charging anxieties and so on.
And these troubles, I think, will be gradually resolved in the new year.
Don't be irritable, drive with peace of mind, welcome back to Changsha!
