March 4 news, a few days ago Ms. Wang of Jinan saw a storefront of Tailing Electric Vehicle advertising that the endurance of an electric vehicle can reach 138.1 kilometers, and the store personally said that a charge can run at least 100 kilometers, so Ms. Wang spent 2899 yuan to buy one.
As a result, after Ms. Wang used it several times, she found that the actual endurance of this electric vehicle was only 70 kilometers. What made Ms. Wang even more angry was that she asked the merchant why the battery life was not up to standard, but the reason given by the merchant was that she was too fat. Ms. Wang was furious and looked for an appraisal agency, and after testing, she found that the car had a range of only about 60 kilometers in its new state.
After the incident was big, the person in charge of the Tailing Group responded that Ms. Wang's electric vehicle was not an original lithium battery, but was changed to a graphene battery, and theoretically the driver could reach 100 kilometers within 130 pounds. Tailing said that it has refunded Ms. Wang in full and will increase supervision and training for secondary sales outlets.

To be honest, the battery life virtual standard is common in the field of electric vehicles and electric vehicles, but it is not necessarily intentional by the business, but when the car company tests the battery life, it is generally considering the comprehensive working conditions, which may not be the same as our actual driving environment, plus the battery is easily affected by temperature changes, and it may age, so there will be a situation where the endurance virtual standard will occur.
The problem with electric vehicles is that it is too convenient to replace the battery, in order to save costs, some stores will also replace the original tram, which is a big gap between endurance and publicity. Take The tailing, the nominal endurance of 130 kilometers, the store promised to have an endurance of 100 kilometers, the result is actually only 60 to 70 kilometers, even if Ms. Wang is really a little fat, it will not have so much impact on the endurance.
The problem is that electric vehicles are not like electric vehicles after all, and the control of the tailing headquarters on the secondary sales outlets cannot be too strong, and there is not so much energy to control. The accessories of electric vehicles are too easy to replace, in order to save costs, it is inevitable that some shop owners will engage in small actions, resulting in many consumers who do not know the truth to be deceived.
Ms. Wang has set an example for other consumers, when it is found that there is a difference between the product and the publicity, it is necessary to take up the legal weapon to protect their legitimate rights and interests, and if necessary, they can seek the help of relevant testing institutions to determine the attribution of responsibility.
