In the past quarter of 2022, the ever-changing international situation has pushed crude oil prices to a rare historical high, and the price once exceeded 130 US dollars / barrel. According to the relevant policies, crude oil price of 130 US dollars / barrel is the ceiling of domestic refined oil prices floating, if the price of crude oil remains high for a period of time, then even the most 92 # gasoline price will be close to 10 yuan / liter! A foot on the throttle and a mcgly chicken may really no longer be a joke, and everyone on the Internet has come up with all kinds of paragraphs.
The author's circle of friends is also full of self-deprecation similar to "92 full legs are weak, 95 is full of bankruptcy, 98 is full of three generations of repayment", which can be seen that fuel vehicle users are helpless about the rise in oil prices. In stark contrast, another group of people in the circle of friends still go out to drive on weekends as usual, do not complain about the rise in oil prices and do not shout about recharging subway traffic cards, I found that they are without exception, they are pure electric vehicle users.
As a traditional fuel vehicle user, I began to wonder how much money the tram could save. First of all, with my own car as an example, the car I usually drive is the previous generation of 3.5L displacement V6 engine four-wheel drive 7-seat Highlander, the daily commute is about 70% of the congested road conditions and 30% of the city's smooth road sections, the average 100 kilometers of fuel consumption of 12.5L. Fuel tank volume of 72 liters, according to the 95 # oil price in Shanghai on the day of writing 9.16 yuan / L calculation, a full tank of fuel to more than 600 yuan, and the endurance is only more than 500 kilometers, driving a kilometer of a single fuel cost needs more than 1 yuan, not to mention every 5,000 kilometers also need to carry out maintenance.
By asking friends who drive trams around, the cost of electric vehicles is almost only the cost of charging, most pure electric vehicles can be maintained once for 20,000 kilometers, and the maintenance project is only simple operations such as replacing air conditioning filters. As for the electricity bill, if you use the household charging pile to replenish energy, every day in the night valley power period charging, with the Highlander is also a 7-seat SUV Weilai ES8 to compare, ES8 power consumption is only 23 kWh / 100km, the average per kilometer of electricity is only less than 0.1 yuan, ES8 energy cost is less than one-tenth of Highlander!
In order to experience the pure tram in depth, I contacted a friend who drove the ES6 and changed cars with him for a week. First of all, let's talk about the most basic feelings, first of all, the power is full, the space is large, compared with the Highlander, the power improvement is very obvious, and the space performance is also very good; secondly, the charging is not the trouble I imagined, even if I do not have a household charging pile, but the density of the supercharger station available to Weilai is beyond my imagination, plus the unique replacement power station of Weilai, so that the replenishment time has been almost the same as refueling; the third is that the shape is more scientific and technological, and it is more distinctive than the design of the traditional oil car. The last and biggest feeling is intelligence, and NOMI this little guy, advanced driving assistance + excellent human-computer interaction, let me envy only fixed speed cruise.
Other than that, I feel that driving a tram is a joy! The happiness mentioned here is not for the control, not for how sharp the split is, but for the ideological level of ease brought about by driving a pure tram out, do not have to worry about stepping on the throttle to consume a few pieces of Malaer chicken, nor do you have to calculate how many tanks of fuel have been added this month, how many kilometers have been run, whether it is to be maintained. Especially now, when the oil price is high, whenever you think of ES6 parked in the parking space, you feel that not opening it to go out for a circle is equivalent to a loss, driving from Shanghai to Ningbo on the weekend in order to eat a meal of bubble pepper bullfrogs do not have to worry about fuel / maintenance costs, and the cost of ES6 driving fatigue is much lower than Highlander, driving five or six hundred kilometers a day will not feel very tired.
That's the second kind of joy that ES6 gives me – the ease of driving. Can you imagine that the Highlander I bought for more than 400,000 yuan didn't even have automatic headlights? ES6 gives me the biggest feeling is that driving has become a very easy thing, automatic headlights / wipers Needless to say, air conditioning / multimedia and other functions can also be handed over to NOMI (Nio intelligent voice assistant) with voice control, NOMI can even give action and expression feedback, making me feel that ES6 has a human temperature. Secondly, nop pilot assistance is really worry-free, especially in the congested section of the car and high-speed high road cruising two situations, often driving people know that these two situations are the most energy-consuming driving and the most boring, driving ES6 can completely hand over a NOP to deal with, the driver only uses my good steering wheel and pay attention to unexpected situations.
After a week of test driving, I was a little reluctant to return the ES6, not only because of the part of the fuel cost it saved me, but also because of the sense of ease in driving that it brought me, and no longer had the pressure and guilt of driving a fuel car. Decided, next week, go to the WEIlai Center next to the house to carefully inquire about the car purchase process of Niolai, this relaxed and pleasant driving experience is really easy to addictive.
