Pure electric vehicles with a range of more than 600Km account for 10.9% in 2022, according to the 20% cruising range, the average daily driving of cars is 48.1km per day, 50km on holidays, and it can probably be driven for 8-9 days without charging, which is undoubtedly a social car that saves refueling time and refueling costs for standard social animals.
If you increase the cruising range to 1000km, to some extent, even if you have a 20% discount cruising range, you still have a cruising range of more than 800Km, and going home for the New Year can definitely become one of the hot topics to brag about each other, of course, it can also be one of the reasons why your future mother-in-law will talk about you and live a life.
Time flies, now pure electric vehicles with a range of 1000Km is no longer a fantasy, Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is such a model full of positive energy, "the most efficient electric vehicle so far" is the highest evaluation of it by the European automotive media. At this point, owning this car from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, when you come back, you can also go to Xiamen to taste fish skin peanuts, which may no longer be something that can be done in dreams, although the editing motor often loses sleep...
1000km is an exploration of the future
The sun is rising, and only one thing excites me, Mercedes-Benz officials said that the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX successfully completed a long-distance test of a single charge of more than 1000km. To tell people, Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX departed from Sindelfingen, Germany, with a high-speed cruising speed of 140km/h and an average speed of 87.4km/h, through complex road conditions such as high-speed, mountain road tunnels, etc., through wind and rain, slippery, high and low temperature differences and other complex environments, and finally reached the french Riviera cassis town located on the Mediterranean coast, with a total mileage of 621 miles, equivalent to (1008km).
According to the understanding of the editor motor, there is a strong desire to explore the future in the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX, or it can be understood that this will be another masterpiece after EQC and EQS, and the pure electric definition of Mercedes-Benz in the next 3-5 years may be reflected in it.
From the perspective of propaganda, the domestic new forces to build cars Xiaopeng P5, Geometry A, GAC Aion S Plus, etc. all claim to have a pure electric endurance of 600 or even more than 600, but the data under THE CONDITION OF NEDC, like theory and practice, will be different, and the NEDC endurance will actually be discounted. The editorial motor is not denying such a practice, but the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is more practical.
Battery: Capacity plus accessories
The keyboard behind the scenes may be very confused, "1000km pure electric endurance, is not it a thing that can be solved by adding a battery?" ”
yes! 1000km pure electric endurance plus a battery can be done completely, but look at things to correct their essence, the ensuing problem is the cost increase, and it will make the car company enter a dead cycle. Editor motor according to Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX using 100kWh battery to raise a new power brand case, a model has the use of 100kWh battery pack so that it can have a higher pure electric endurance, plus a load-bearing body, etc., so that its weight reached 2.5 tons, larger and heavier body is also easy to smooth out its inherent advantages.
Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is resourceful in this regard, and engineers have optimized the 100kWh battery to travel more than 1000km through the whole vehicle system engineering, and do not allow any shortcomings to reduce efficiency. Such an extreme approach can only be adhered to by a century-old traditional car company such as Mercedes-Benz.
A visual feast for word of mouth
Combined with the above, it is natural to see that the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is also based on aerodynamics, which combines the elements of the Mercedes-Benz Concept IAA concept car application. It gives you a damn visual treat with the pressed down front, while the electric car's consistently no-mesh design, which is also reserved and modified with the shape of a three-pronged star, is very visual.
What's more exciting than that for editor Motors, though, is that the production model is likely to align with the concept VISION EQXX. In other words, the VISION EQXX seen on the screen is equivalent to the mass production pattern.
While I'm not sure if it's in line with your aesthetic, at least I can tell you the answer that it's very different from the models on the market. This is also like its "EQ", "XX" name, everything is unknown. It can be "EQDC" or it can be "EQFC"... What I know is its 2800mm wheelbase, eliminating all cognition of it, maybe it is a C-class under pure electric power.
Secondly, with the slender tail, it can produce eddy currents to reduce wind resistance, and the lightweight + low wind resistance finally achieves its vehicle weight of only 1750kg and a wind resistance coefficient of 0.17. Editor Motor wanted to describe it in one sentence: "Damn alien creatures, it's hard to get tired of watching." ”
Running further is inseparable from the blessing of solar energy
Human beings live on the earth, most of the energy is directly taken from the sun, and solar energy is a renewable energy source, although its radiation after a long distance to reach our green planet is only 2.2 billion parts of its total radiation, but its amount of radiation per second to the earth's energy is still very high, which is equivalent to burning 5 million tons of coal.
Huge natural energy resources, how can Mercedes-Benz miss, installed on the roof of the VISION EQXX from the European Solar Laboratory (Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Systems) ISE jointly developed 117 ultra-thin solar panels, this is one of the strong evidence of Mercedes-Benz's environmentalism, it can power all 12 volts of electrical equipment on the car, but also help to increase the cruising range by 2%, equivalent to 25Km of additional battery life.
Some people will question whether such a high range will have an impact on power output?
The answer is yes, its electric drive is composed of a combination of electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, after Mercedes-Benz and High Performance PowerTrain Co., Ltd. (HPP) F1 experts to develop, so mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX peak output power can go to 180 kilowatts, the book data is moderate, but don't forget that it can transfer up to 95% of the battery energy directly to the wheels, the loss of the drivetrain can be reduced by 44%, "run farther, see higher" It is the editing motor's understanding of it.
To improve efficiency is to reduce losses
Eva Gleiner, Chief Engineer of Electric Powertrains at Mercedes-Benz, said: "One of the best ways to improve efficiency is to reduce losses, and we reduce energy consumption and losses from all aspects of the system through system design, material selection, lubrication and thermal management. Therefore, the drive unit of Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is a special unit composed of motor, transmission and power electronics, and adopts a new generation of silicon carbide.
From this editing motor, it can be inferred that the above-mentioned silicon carbide as a semiconductor is extremely rare in nature, it appears in the form of minerals (moissanite), and may be widely used in passenger cars in the future, and motors with higher integration density will also become one of the future car manufacturing trends.
It is a trend for traditional car companies to join the new energy
In mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX, I seem to understand the path of traditional car companies to enter the development of the new energy era, this path is very different from the new energy brother "Tesla" to overthrow the traditional car companies, and Mercedes-Benz engineers stand on the fast lane of their own advantages, vigorously develop chips, high-density motors, etc., from their own advantages to the deadly point of new energy.
This also reminds the editor motor of a sentence said by Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "It is almost impossible to take into account fast charging, safety and cost while maintaining a thousand kilometers of endurance." "Thousand kilometers of endurance is more likely to appear in luxury car SUVs, one is that there is room for installing batteries, and the other is that consumers are willing to pay for it." "If you think about it, isn't this what the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is doing?"
In the same way, I think Porsche is one of those designs, the Taycan, the first product under the Porsche pure electric architecture, it is known for its excellent electrical performance and high-voltage charging technology, porsche also added a two-speed transmission with dog teeth wheels, a good balance between taycan in terms of power and energy consumption. This kind of unique development of the transmission system behavior, I am afraid that only a traditional car company such as Porsche has it, and Porsche is doing the same thing as Mercedes-Benz, which they are proud of.
Write at the end
Time flies, and the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX, which is expected to be launched in 2024 or 2025, will make pure electric vehicles last more than 1000Km. With the development of the industry, the improvement of charging technology and the improvement of battery density 1000km can be used as an indicator of constant avant-garde technology, we still have time to hand over the answer sheet.
But at least it is certain that as a traditional luxury brand, Mercedes-Benz has been leading the industry dynamics, and the fireworks of new energy will spread more intensely due to the arrival of VISION EQXX. Because only longer endurance can lead users to poetry and far away.
