At the end of the Spring Festival holiday, many friends have already started work, and the most interesting topic in this Spring Festival holiday is driving a pure electric car and returning to your hometown to visit relatives and friends. Two or three years ago, a friend drove a Tesla Model 3 from Chongqing to Sanya, and the bitterness and strangeness along the way made him vow never to drive an electric car out again. Two years have passed, the construction of charging piles in these two years of rapid development, so that friends who buy new energy models around them have chosen to drive electric vehicles to visit relatives and friends this year, let's summarize whether this matter is feasible at the moment? What issues need to be paid attention to.
First of all, it is certain that NEDC has a range of 500KM or more than 600KM models, as long as it does not go to too remote areas, there are not too many problems with basic travel, at present, except for a few provinces, the national highway service area basically has charging stations. High-endurance models such as AION LX and ZEEKR 001, which have recently been launched, will hardly encounter the problem of insufficient battery life.
Although there are charging piles in the highway service area now, but queuing up to charge is a relatively big problem, the current new energy charging and mobile phone charging is similar, there are fast charging modes, but once the power reaches 80% or 90%, the charging speed will slow down. And many people habitually want to fully charge the vehicle, so that the overall charging efficiency is low and the queue time is long. According to several friends of the author, during the Spring Festival, the highway charging has encountered more than 90% of the front car charging, and it is still unwilling to leave. In other words, if you are planning to travel long distances on holidays, then the queue charging time in the service area must be taken into account. Judging from the situation collected, the peak charging period for the service area is at noon and in the evening.
In fact, the solution to this kind of problem is also very simple, that is, the charging pile in the high-speed service area limits the charging time during the holidays, and all vehicles are automatically powered off after the fast charge is completed, or the charging amount reaches 80% after the direct power off, accelerating the charging efficiency.
Finally, the charging pile situation in third- and fourth-tier cities, from the situation obtained by the author, although the number of charging piles in third- and fourth-tier cities is not as good as that of first- and second-tier cities, but it is better than queuing, even during the Spring Festival, charging stations are relatively idle, and almost will not encounter long queues. In the future, with the acceleration of the construction of charging stations across the country, electric vehicle charging will be more convenient.
According to the data of the Association of Passenger Vehicles, the global sales of narrow new energy passenger vehicles will reach 6.23 million units in 2021, an increase of 118% year-on-year, and the market penetration rate will reach 7%. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles in china and Europe has reached 13%, of which in the fourth quarter, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in the Chinese market has exceeded 20%, while the cumulative sales of new energy in mainland China in 2021 are 2.446 million units, a cumulative increase of 168.0% year-on-year.
By 2022, as the new energy vehicle industry chain is more perfect and the scale is doubled, the recognition of new energy vehicles by domestic consumers has also been greatly improved. The Association expects that in 2022, the sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles will reach more than 5.5 million units, and the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles will reach 25%. This is still a prediction made in the case of subsidies will be withdrawn, that is to say, new energy is gradually becoming the mainstream of the automotive market.
New energy models are becoming more and more common on the road, even in some townships, you can occasionally find one or two pure electric vehicles, perhaps in the Spring Festival of 2022, driving electric vehicles back to their hometown to visit relatives and friends is not a very worth discussing. However, with the growth of new energy consumers, the use of some charging piles needs to be solved urgently. Otherwise, in the future, there may be a large number of electric vehicles stranded in the service area waiting for charging. Considering the number of people moving during the Spring Festival on the mainland, this is not impossible in the future.
