Recently, the price of oil has risen again, which makes many users who originally wanted to buy fuel vehicles focus on pure electric vehicles, after all, compared with seven pieces of fuel of six cents and a few liters, a dime and a kilometer of pure electric vehicles are too fragrant. But when you rush to buy an electric car with a range of 400 or 500 kilometers and find that this product has been made a small action, the endurance has directly dropped by more than ten or twenty percent, what do you think? This is the abhorrent "locking", of course, this behavior can also have other terms, such as Weima, which refers to the "upgrade" of the battery system.
In this regard, you may remember that MYAUTO previously analyzed GAC Toyota's "lock power" and "lock power" things about the iA5. But at present, the hottest thing is not GAC Toyota, but WM EX5. In January this year, many owners of the WM EX5 complained that the mileage of the vehicle that had been upgraded after the battery BMS upgrade was significantly reduced, and the battery capacity was significantly reduced. For the condemnation of the owners, Weima did not respond. Although some singers write songs and ridicule, and some people hand out lawyer letters, WM, which has the successful experience of GAC Toyota in this regard, has not responded so far, and some of the owners who are more fierce have also enjoyed the treatment of blackout, and the manufacturer's ears are very clean.
The reason why Weima wants to be so whole is actually for the good of the owner. After all, although the car is a means of travel, it is essentially more necessary to be safe. In terms of safety, it is clear that the performance of the WM EX5 is very poor. On September 23, a WM EX5 in Wenzhou spontaneously combusted, followed by spontaneous combustion accidents on October 5, October 13 and October 27. There is also a WM EX5 that spontaneously combusts when parked and spontaneously combusts when charging and causes an explosion. At this time, the official explanation is only to say that the battery is mixed with impurities, which obviously does not solve the problem from the root. If it is really a battery problem, in addition to replacing this scheme, this problem is theoretically incurable in the battery. Even giants such as Volkswagen and Toyota are not immune to the problem of batteries, so how can Weima solve it? But the successive spontaneous combustion incidents, just ask you the owner of the car is not worried?
In order to alleviate the frequency of problems, but also for your safety, so that your car is not charged enough, driving mileage discount, this is obviously for the owner's good ah. Moreover, compared with the OTA upgrade of GAC Toyota iA5, WM still has two hundred ocean cards, which is really bloody. If you really want to be in line with "international standards", who is happy about something like GAC Toyota iA5?
Moreover, the matter of "locking the electricity" is no longer an accidental behavior of a car company, and it has almost become an industry phenomenon. Not only WM and GAC Toyota, Tesla, GAC Aion, Roewe and other brands have done this. This method is in line with the current interests of manufacturers, of course, it also infringes on the rights and interests of users. The way of forcibly locking the electricity will greatly reduce the actual mileage of the user, and the power locking has become the unspoken rule for some car companies to deal with the product quality crisis. There are advantages and disadvantages to such operation, the disadvantage is naturally that the mileage and even the driving experience are greatly reduced, and the battery life shrinkage and power locking events show that the battery technology is still very immature.
MYUATO believes that since there is already a problem with the product, it is necessary for merchants and consumers to rationally look at and deal with it properly, rather than avoiding or ignoring consumers' doubts. After all, as the fifth car company in the new force, the trust from the user's wallet is that WM cannot be compared with Toyota and other companies. In 2021, WM Automobile delivered 44,000 vehicles in the whole year, ranking fifth in the delivery volume among the new car-making forces, and 25,000 units different from the fourth place Nezha Automobile. This year, WM can still be as mighty as last year, it is really difficult to say.
