Musk: The range of electric vehicles is too high to make sense

The dimensions of the traditional fuel vehicle and the electric vehicle will be very different, when purchasing an electric vehicle, consumers will compare the acceleration performance, battery capacity and mileage of the electric vehicle three-electric system, etc., for which a new term called "mileage anxiety" was born, which means that when driving an electric vehicle, due to the fear of sudden lack of power caused by mental pain or worry, it is conceivable how much trouble the electric vehicle endurance has brought to the user. Today, tesla CEO Musk communicated with fans on social networks, conveying his latest views on mileage, he believes: the mileage is too high to make sense!

Musk said Tesla could have produced a Model S with a range of 600 miles (965 kilometers) 12 months ago, but that was not necessary. Because it makes acceleration, handling, and efficiency worse. Greater range often means more batteries and heavier mass, which can make an electric car's inherently fun driving experience, while a range of 400 miles (643 kilometers) balances experience and efficiency.

He stressed that in fact, Tesla's 640-kilometer range car exceeds almost everyone's needs. At present, the range of Tesla Model S is about 637-652 kilometers; the mileage of model 3 is 556-675 kilometers; and the mileage of model X is 536-560 kilometers.

Shen Hui, CEO of the new domestic car brand WM Motor, also released a Weibo post, expressing his agreement with Musk's views. Shen Hui said, "The higher endurance is based on a larger battery pack, if all the cars are carrying a large battery pack on the road, to some extent, it is actually a waste." He believes that the current number of charging piles is increasing, and the means of energy replenishment are more and more numerous, and they are becoming more and more efficient, which is enough to eliminate the charging anxiety of electric vehicle owners. Not long ago, Shen Hui complained that the community did not allow car owners to install charging piles, last year WM delivered more than 40,000 cars, but nearly 20,000 charging piles distributed with the car could not be sent out.

In the past for a long time, the battery easy mileage is the most concerned parameter when electric vehicles push new products, and many manufacturers directly regard it as a product highlight and a competitive track. GAC Aean, Weilai, SAIC Zhiji have successively launched more than 1,000km of electric models, there is a saying, Musk's point of view is also reasonable, if the mileage leads to the increase in battery, this will indeed lose some driving experience. Most of the fuel tank capacity of fuel vehicles is indeed 500-700 kilometers, which is comparable to the 640 kilometers that Musk said, and there seems to be no reason to pursue high cruising range.

The view that the mileage is too high is meaningless is very fresh and special, netizens hold different views, many netizens said, "high endurance can only reduce the number of endurance anxiety", "the key is that the endurance is not accurate, say five hundred, in fact, three hundred is good." The oil truck said five hundred, but it was a solid five hundred."

Traditional fuel vehicles can fill the fuel tank in a few minutes, while electric vehicles need to wait for some time to fill the power, in fact, in addition to the endurance time, combined with battery density and charging efficiency comprehensive performance is the root of mileage anxiety, and from another point of view, higher battery density and smaller volume to obtain higher cruising range, is not also a good thing?
