With the flame extinguished at the closing ceremony, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics drew a successful end. Not only the performance of Chinese athletes on the field is very outstanding, but the mainland's excellent level of running the competition has also been praised internationally. The Green Winter Olympics is one of the olympic concepts of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. There are a total of 12 venues for the Winter Olympics, of which 6 venues are reused for the old venues, which greatly reduces the costs of the Olympic games and avoids the carbon emissions and pollution that may be generated during the construction process.

As a plug-in hybrid model of the new BMW 5 Series Li, the BMW 535Le has a very good energy performance. The 535Le can use pure electric mode when commuting with a fixed mileage every day, which can reduce carbon emissions and save travel costs for car owners, which coincides with the concept of green Olympics in this Winter Olympics. The test drive model we got this time is the "535Le Pioneer Edition M Sports Suit" model, the official guidance price: 536,900 yuan. Let's let the 535Le take us around the various Olympic venues in Beijing to see the actual energy consumption performance of this plug-in hybrid model.
Route Planning:
1. City + highway part (hybrid mode): Shell Oil East Dam Middle Road Gas Station - National Bobsleigh Center - National Alpine Ski Center - Shell Oil East Dam Middle Road Gas Station, the whole journey is about 235.3 kilometers.
2. Urban road part (pure electric mode): Shell Oil Dongba Middle Road Gas Station - Bird's Nest - Ice Cube - Ice Ribbon - Capital Stadium - Wukesong Stadium - Shougang Big Jump, the whole journey is about 61.2 kilometers.
This energy consumption test will be as close as possible to the actual car use scenario of the plug-in hybrid user group. The test of urban roads + highways was started with full oil and electricity, and the mileage was about 235.3 kilometers. After the test is completed, the energy is replenished and the energy consumption value under the city + high-speed conditions is calculated. Driving in pure electric mode in urban conditions, the mileage is about 61.2 kilometers, if there is still battery power left after the trip, the pure electric mileage is recorded after the use of the power to the lowest value that cannot be enabled in pure electric mode.
When picking up the car, the battery level of the 535Le is already in feed mode, and charging begins at this time.
The 535Le of this test drive is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 17.7 kWh, and it takes about 5 hours for the charging pile of the AC single-phase 7KW charging pile to be fully charged, and the average power of the charging pile is 7KW.
The fuel tank is then filled, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the values, the same fuel gun at the same gas station will be used before and after the test and the same mode of jumping guns will be used to refuel. After the "energy" replenishment is completed, prepare to go.

City + Highway Section (Hybrid Mode)
The 535Le comes with multiple driving modes, with most of the modes except sport mode being prioritized for battery drain.
The central control screen can display different operating modes
When the battery is depleted, the power control mode can be turned on, and the system will maintain the battery level within the pre-set range.
The first test is the city + high-speed conditions, and the default hybrid mode of 535Le will always be used in this test session. From the starting point, drive west through the North Fifth Ring Road, Jingcheng Expressway, Beijing-Tibet Expressway, and Jingli Expressway to the National Bobsleigh Center and the National Alpine Ski Center.
Departing near 8 a.m. just in time for the start of Beijing's morning rush hour. Urban congestion during the morning rush hour is very "moving".

The innermost lane during the Winter Olympics and The Winter Olympics and Paralympics in some sections of the road is planned as an Olympic lane, which is even worse than the already congested morning peak, but it can be seen that no social vehicle uses the Olympic lane at will, and everyone is contributing to the Beijing Winter Olympics. The establishment of the Olympic lanes for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games is also part of the part that makes Beijing citizens feel that they are participating in the Olympic Games.
In hybrid mode, the system will give priority to pure electric mode by default, and the advantage of plug-in hybrid models over ordinary hybrid models is that pure electric mode can be used in a wide range of speed and mileage ranges. The 535Le travels in hybrid mode at a top speed of 110 km/h using pure electric. At this time, the engine is in a shutdown state, which reduces energy consumption and avoids unnecessary vibration and noise caused by engine start-up.
After passing through the Beijing Toll Station of the Beijing-Chengcheng Expressway, all the way is smooth
Congestion in the morning rush hour when leaving the city generally ends after passing through the Exit Toll Gate of the Beijing-Cheng expressway, and the road conditions are relatively smooth after that. In the speed range of 0-110 km/h in hybrid mode, the 535Le will use pure electric mode to drive, and only after the speed exceeds 110 km/h or when the user is accelerating sharply on the pedal deeply, the 535Le will use the engine to drive the wheels directly.
BMW 5 Series New Energy adopts the 184 hp B48B20C low-power engine to match the motor, the comprehensive power reaches 292 hp, and the comprehensive torque reaches 420 Nm, matching the ZF 8AT gearbox. In the process of high-speed driving, both the response to mid-course acceleration and the smoothness of driving are very good.
The handling of large vibrations in different modes of suspension is very clean and neat, and the filtering with small vibrations is not complete, but the over-bending roll suppression is very good.
Activate the BMW Personal Copilot Pro autonomous driving assistance system
The test drive model is also equipped with BMW Personal Copilot Pro automatic driving assistance system, which is composed of multiple radars, sensors and cameras, which is composed of multiple radars, sensors and cameras, after opening the auxiliary system, the center of the dashboard will also display itself and the neighboring vehicles in the left and right lanes, and the size of the vehicle is distinguished by passenger cars, large trucks and motorcycles. In actual use, the driver assistance system is well controlled in the center of the lane and the distance control with the car in front, and the vehicle that suddenly merges in front of it will respond to deceleration in time.
Auxiliary parallel function
Auxiliary parallel function can be opened at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, and the turn signal lever needs to be tapped all the time when using it, and the system confirms that the vehicle's own lane and the front and rear vehicles of the target lane are at a safe distance before the parallel line can be completed, during which the driver needs to maintain the flick turn signal lever action.
Speed limits in different lanes can be identified
In high speed, the 535Le can identify the speed limit of the current lane according to different lanes. System navigation is also timely for speed limit refreshes on the current road.
The front seats support up to 20 directional adjustments
Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system
The front seats support up to 20 directions adjustment and also have ventilated heating seats with an optional 16-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System (optional price of 36,000 yuan), providing passengers with a premium audiovisual experience during long driving hours.
The moment the battery level returns to zero in hybrid mode
After driving 64.6 kilometers, the battery level returned to zero and the full-speed domain engine direct drive mode was activated.
Yanqing Winter Olympic Forest Park
After about 2 hours of driving, we finally reached the Haituo toll booth in Yanqing, but because the Olympic venues were still closed-loop, we had to turn around and return to the highway. However, since we have all arrived in Yanqing, let's go to the Winter Olympic Forest Park in Yanqing.

Write at the end:
For the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics, China has realized the use of pure green electricity in all venues, and all venues will use green electricity to reach 400 million kWh, which is equivalent to reducing the burning of 128,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 320,000 tons, with bright and remarkable green results. Each venue at the Winter Olympics has its own "carbon reduction" black technology, and it can be said that every venue in Beijing is a sustainable green building.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games will be held at the National Stadium on the evening of March 4. This is an international Paralympic event hosted by China and will open on March 4 and close on March 13, 2022. The 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games will have a total of 6 major events and 78 minor events. Beijing will host all ice events, and Yanqing and Zhangjiakou will host all snow events. Here, I hope that in the upcoming Winter Olympics, China's green technology venues can continue to shine in the world, and I wish every Winter Paralympic athlete to achieve excellent competition results and realize the theme slogan of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympics - "Together to the Future".
