【Snail Car Selection】Issue 172, I am Meng Brother. As I expected, the crazy spike in oil prices has made electric vehicles more concerned. [Snail Car Chronicle] There are also more and more questions related to the background. I saw two in the morning:
"How much of the battery life of the electric car at home will be more sufficient?"
"How many electric vehicles with a long battery life are recommended with a budget of less than 200,000?"
Although they are two issues, they are actually related. The first question: the mileage of this thing, you may say that of course the longer the better, but as the mileage grows, there are three things that will grow together, the first is the price of the car, you should know that the battery cost is the largest part of the price of the electric vehicle; the second is the battery volume, which will make the car either the practical space is occupied, or the body becomes larger and larger and more bloated; the third will significantly increase the weight of the car, affecting the flexibility and handling of the car.
So although the mileage of electric vehicles is constantly breaking through, this year there are even a number of new cars with a range of more than 1,000. But I don't think it needs to be so exaggerated from a pragmatic point of view, from the point of view of the silver in your pocket. Almost enough.
So, how much is enough?
The real mileage used daily, note that the real mileage, I think it can reach about 450 kilometers. You can simply calculate it: according to the daily car per day average driving 30-40 kilometers, almost a charge of electricity can run for 12-15 days, even if you do not have the usual parking directly hanging on the conditions of slow charging, 2-3 times a month, each time spend an hour to the fast charging station to charge the electricity, or is it acceptable?
What about intercity travel? 450 kilometers should be able to ensure that you go to the neighboring cities, as long as the full charge before departure can be directly round-trip, than our Shenzhen, to Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Huizhou these surrounding cities, one way is not more than 200 kilometers; and farther, the drive of 4-5 hours of medium-distance cities, you can at least do one-way without halfway charging;
Of course, if you carry it up, what if I drive in a remote area of the west, or a long distance? To tell the truth, this situation, is the 1000 km endurance of the car, you are still not steady, there is still "mileage anxiety", can alleviate this anxiety of the way, not by the mileage, but the popularity and density of the charging network and the speed of fast charging.
Of course, we all know that the manufacturers have announced the NEDC theory endurance, which has a gap with the real endurance, not to mention the cold winter. And even the endurance calibration of NEDC is also very magical, you have no idea how much water there are in different brands. Therefore, we can only be rough: at least the nominal NEDC endurance should be more than 500 kilometers; or more reliable points we can directly look at its battery capacity, which can reach the order of 450 kilometers of actual endurance, at least more than 60 degrees of battery is necessary.
OK, then we can talk about the second question. "Purchase recommendations for electric vehicles with a long endurance of less than 200,000 yuan". Here are a few purchase tips given first:
First, as just said, to be sufficient, at least the battery is more than 60 degrees;
Second, within 200,000 budgets. You buy a fuel car is quite abundant, but buying an electric car is more stretched, so there can only be trade-offs, such as power acceleration must be compromised. I know that many people like the electric car to start fast and comfortable, but to achieve it, either you have to double motor or high-power motor, this price is difficult to do; or the manufacturer plays a small trick, to the motor to set a more exaggerated transmission gear ratio, but this way, although the car start is very channeling, the price can also hold, but the side effect is large: the speed of the car is not powerful, more importantly, at this time, because the motor is full power output, power consumption soared - this is why some electric vehicles run a highway, the mileage is greatly reduced.
The third point is that we use the car will encounter a variety of working conditions and environmental changes, such as low temperature, if you want to reduce the impact on the endurance, this is no small project, such as more advanced electronic control system, more efficient transmission mechanism, as well as complex battery heating and refrigeration constant temperature ventilation devices, etc., the technical content is not low, so I strongly recommend to buy more mature, have a certain sales base, others for you to "jump through the pit" products, do not be a guinea pig.
Time is limited, quickly selected I think the price range meets the requirements, and more reliable 6 electric vehicles, in no particular order.
Starting from the new forces, Xiaopeng has sold very hot in recent years, experienced the test of the market and the owner, the price is also more grounded, 200,000 optional models have P5 and G3, P5 regardless of the shape design and pricing, I feel that it is not as amazing as the original P7 debut, and for compact electric vehicles, the space is not large, the battery occupies a lot, if home, SUV is more realistic. Therefore, you can pay attention to the new version of the G3i, although it is a mid-term modification, but after changing the front face of the P7 style, the style has changed greatly, or it is quite fashionable.
The two entry-level versions of the G3i 520 km endurance are in their early 180,000s, equipped with a 66-degree battery, a single-motor front drive of 145KW, 300 Nm of torque, and 8.6 seconds of acceleration per 100 km/h. As an electric car, it is not fast, but it is enough for home. Disadvantages, less than 4.5 meters long, wheelbase is only 2625 mm, for a family SUV, cramped.
If you have higher requirements for space, you can look at GAC Aeon's V PLUS, which is a direct competitor to the G3 in terms of pricing, but the size is a circle larger, especially the 2830 mm wheelbase, and the rear layout of the second row of Aeon's unique second row of seats, making the rear row unprecedentedly spacious. Within 200,000, you can buy the low-end version of the 80 PLUS, the battery capacity reaches 80 degrees, and the NEDC cruising range is also 600 kilometers. In addition, its motor power is also larger than the G3, with 165KW, so the acceleration is also faster, 7.6 seconds.
Disadvantages, in fact, buy Aeon's car, the product itself is not a big problem, to break through is your psychological barrier, after all, the streets are similar in appearance, LOGO consistent online car, the probability of being mistaken is also very large, you don't mind it.
The third car zero run C11, recommended it has two reasons, one is because we bought one last year, the real open for a few months, is for you to wade through the pit, the actual experience, small problems and immature places of course there are many, but basically harmless, you can look at my previous issue of [my car] program, the overall quality of this car is good, you can feel the manufacturer's intentions;
Of course, the second recommended reason is that its cost performance is really good, the legendary "stacking king", such as the premium version we bought, the original 90 degree battery, the official endurance of 610 kilometers, the motor power also reached 200KW, and like Tesla, it is rear-wheel drive;
In addition, the car body is large, the wheelbase is more than 2.9 meters, or the MPV design, the space is definitely enough. However, what is unpleasant is that we all know that the price of zero running has increased. When we bought it last year, it didn't exceed 200,000 plus optional bags, and now its bare car price has directly risen to 209,800, more than your budget.
Then, we look at the joint venture brand, there are many new cars to choose from, and I think the "reliability rate" and "pit index" are still better than the new forces as a whole. Also choose three cars.
The first Chevrolet tour, this car market is not much sound, but the product I have always felt good. The first is the crossover design similar to a station wagon, which takes into account the appearance, practicality and control, and I like it. GM is regarded as a "global pioneer" in the development of electric vehicles, whether overseas or domestic, for so many years, the push and stacking of mass-produced electric vehicles has never stopped, so products and technologies can be assured. Of course, the main reason for recommending Chang Patrol is that its pricing is very thick, starting at less than 160,000, and the version you choose to match is less than 190,000. In addition, its NEDC has a range of 518 kilometers and is equipped with a 61.1 degree battery.
The weakness of this car, I think the power is a little weaker, only 130KW.
The second recommended VE-1 of the broad book, at the end of last year we tested it deeply for a week, the impression is very good, especially several post-90s editors, directly "planted grass". From the body, you can understand the electric version of Tian Binzhi, the "youth good product" that everyone is familiar with: high appearance, good basic quality, although the body is not large, but the space utilization and practicality are extremely high.
VE-1 is currently not expensive, the top match is only 184,800 yuan, and it is said that the terminal has a lot of preferential treatment, coupled with the configuration of tax relief, superimposed than buying Binzhi is not much more expensive. I think it is the first choice for Japanese fans and HONDA fans.
In addition, although the official mileage of this car is only 480 kilometers, the battery is actually 61.3 degrees, to be honest, the Japanese car is still more cautious and conservative in the endurance calibration, so its real endurance is not worse than the previous cars.
The last car. Come to a domestic brand. BYD Qin PLUS's dm-i plug-in mix, last year's net red car, but you can't mention the current car. At this time, you can consider its pure electric version, that is, Qin PLUS EV, this car is not so eye-catching under the market heat of its plug-in brothers, in fact, the quality and price are not bad: the top 600 km long endurance version of 175,800 yuan, equipped with a 71.7 degree blade battery, carefully compare other configurations, but also more abundant than dm-i plug-in mixed version; and most importantly, it is said that it is out of stock and queued up not dm-i plug mixed version so exaggerated, you can refer to the existing car relatively quickly.
Of course, a careful comparison of prices is still higher than the latter. If you want to save money, you can consider the 500 km endurance version, the battery capacity is reduced to 57 degrees, but the price of about 150,000, it is really similar to the DM-i version.
