From the development of new energy vehicles, endurance is a common problem, as new energy vehicle users have always been more concerned about the problem of endurance, so they are more sensitive to the word "locking electricity".
In fact, the so-called "locking power" refers to the car company's upgrading and rewriting of the battery management system, locking the vehicle's battery power system and chip window, redefining the voltage range of the battery, thereby limiting the upper charging limit and power consumption of the battery.
But for the problem of power locking, in addition to WM, there is already a precedent, and it can even be said that it is an industry phenomenon. Dating back to 2019, Tesla has carried out "protective upgrades" for some of its older models, limiting the capacity of the battery system by updating the OTA, that is, reducing the available power, reducing the charging speed and increasing the remaining power displayed on the dashboard. In 2021, there are also owners of GAC Toyota iA5 who reported that GAC Toyota upgraded the battery management system BMS and other operations through the background OTA without the consent of the owner, resulting in a shortened cruising range. Then the recent owner of the Xiaopeng P7 reacted to the significant decrease in the mileage after the OTA upgrade of the vehicle at the end of last year. Many professionals in the industry said that based on the power battery technology has not yet reached the stage of true maturity, the phenomenon of "locking power" is likely to continue to appear.
It can be seen that the act of locking the electricity is not a Weima family, but around 315, the network has been frantically attacking Weima. In the Internet era, a little wind and grass will be infinitely magnified, obviously it is the pain of the industry, but it pulls Weima to block the gun on the front line.
