In April after the valley rains, the 53rd Earth Day quietly arrived. On this weekend when temperatures are warming up to the naked eye, around this festival for Mother Earth, it is undoubtedly a good choice to have a spontaneous free trip and experience a relaxed feeling close to nature.
At this point in this special significance, how to choose a car to accompany travel seems to have become a delicate problem: on the function and expansion, nature is the richer the better, in recent years, this wave of the pursuit of intelligence of the general trend is in line with my wishes; and on the form of power, that is of course, the more environmentally friendly the car, the more comfortable it is to go out.
Everything is predetermined: it is more important to choose a good travel partner
As the saying goes, "targeted", a perfect trip is not only a thorough material preparation, but also an accurate estimate of cost is also an indispensable part. Today, after the high price of oil and repeated fluctuations, driving a fuel vehicle always seems to bear greater psychological pressure: if the freshness is included in the consideration of camping site selection, the location around 200km should be a more suitable choice, then this round-trip right and take 400 ~ 500km to estimate.
Let's take a look at the performance of the fuel car group in response to this mileage. We use the more popular A-class models - such as Sagittarius, Corolla and the like, their owners actually feedback fuel consumption to reach the level of 6.5 to 8 liters / 100 kilometers; even if the journey is not completely urban road conditions, to the No. 95 gasoline often more than 8.5 yuan per liter of market conversion, only the fuel cost on the road will start at about 220 yuan, bad luck encounter traffic jams may have to be in line with 400.
There is no harm without comparison, and the pure electric camp that also belongs to the A-class car has a much easier burden. From BYD Qin EV and Geometry A, which have been in the market for a long time, to the relatively new faces of this segment, Such as Eian S Plus and Xiaopeng P5, its 100-kilometer power consumption can probably be controlled at about 12kWh. Based on the charging situation of public charging piles around Beijing, the total cost of these pure electric cars to complete the total travel of 400 to 500km is at most only about 100 yuan, which is only equivalent to about half of the starting price of the fuel camp travel cost. Moreover, since the policy has been promoting new energy vehicles in previous years, the more reliable campgrounds near the general will not be too worried about the problem of charging difficulties, mileage anxiety? inexistent!
If you are still hesitating, you may wish to think about it, the money saved on the road fee, spent on the delicious and fun found along the way, is not fragrant?
Not to mention, if you have just taken the C6 book (trailer qualification), and you are itchy and want to hang up the trailer everywhere, then the gap in travel costs may be further expanded. Even if you choose a hybrid model, the travel expenses you can save will be considerable.
Nothing to aim: Plan what you want to play
What you think of camping: the barbecue is steaming with aroma, the stars are shining, the friends are noisy, and the bed is comfortable;
In fact, camping: while grilling mosquitoes, the starry sky does not have the heart to see, the last toss down may also find that the seats in the car can not be completely flat, sleep is not solid...
Yes, because of Murphy's Law, camping can be fraught with uncertainty, and figuring out what activities to do beforehand, and then trying to make up for it from the equipment, even if it's the car, is the best way to avoid the rush on the spot. If possible, it is best to deal with the troubles on the way back and forth in advance.
Well...... In this way, since the purpose of going out camp is to seek to relax yourself, then there should be less energy consumption on the road, and easy to open places to try to make the auxiliary driving system also contribute, so as not to really turn the brain after the destination. In this regard, there are now many accumulations of intelligent cars, far away from Tesla FSD, near there are also Weilai NOP, Xiaopeng XPILOT and other domestic leaders can be considered. Think about the latter often have several sensors to do multiple insurance, this wave of domestic production seems to be really not a loss.
It's rare to come to the campground, so naturally you have to have fun with everything you need, which means that luggage will be a big problem. You know, cooking utensils and bedding alone can occupy a lot of space, and if you bring some other equipment such as tents, it may be difficult for a regular family car to achieve both people and goods. This is also why camping always gives people the stereotype of needing SUVs/MPVs to travel with trailers.
At this time, we may wish to change our thinking: if all the seats of the car can be flattened, then it will not be convenient to sleep directly in the car at night? At least the pressure on this side of the bedding can be greatly reduced, like the Odyssey MPV is not able to lie flat inside, have to decorate more bedding? From this point of view, models like the Xiaopeng P5 that can be fully seated down to the same plane are much more flexible.
As for the cookware... This seems to be impossible to save, but it is not without alternative game-breaking ideas - V2G technology. To put it simply, if you use an electric stove and use the car's own power supply, objects such as generators or barbecue fuel can be cut off as a matter of course. Some outdoor positioning cars are more pioneering in these areas, such as the 4xe version of the Jeep Wrangler, which can provide high-power power to the outside world, and it is not a big problem to drive several lights while opening an oven.
Of course, if you really love the whole job, it is not impossible to reproduce a wave of ford mustang Mach-e's front compartment barbecue commercials from a few years ago...
After drinking and eating, you can also come to a movie to help entertain. On this occasion, I have to take out xiaopeng P5, a player who knows how to be flexible, and say things: it can be equipped with an exclusive car projector and a large curtain, and it can be directly done in the car after reclining the seat, and it also saves the trouble of being constantly harassed by mosquitoes during the open-air screening, more comfortable, more card face!
All in all, there are always more ways than difficulties; for the topic of car camping, the so-called "smart" or "clever", obviously can not be measured by most of the electronic configuration of software; some seemingly unconventional but actually reasonable design, some seemingly chicken ribs are actually very useful layouts, not only can accelerate our understanding of the use of cars in daily life, but also in the camping activities to narrow our distance from nature.
Being close to nature and liberating nature is also a major demand idea that needs to be considered for the intelligence of trams. Fortunately, the rising stars who flaunt this topic have not given up on these good things.
Back to the roots: On the night of camping, it's more than just sleep
Camping, the core of nature is still "camp" - not to spend the night under the sky dome, then this is at best a self-driving tour. How do you continue to realize the potential of your chosen car while you spend the night? Imagine the nightlife during camping and you'll probably be able to get a feel for what's necessary.
First of all, from day to evening indulgence all day, we in the camping will be physically and mentally exhausted, and it is just necessary to sleep soundly and get a good night's sleep - even if it is just to lie down and rest quickly, the ease of operation of seat folding, the flatness of the rear compartment is also related to the inconvenience of making the bed. If you don't consider the hardcore gameplay of driving a caravan or a large trailer, the problem seems to circle back to the old topic of spatial flexibility, and what we can think of is still Xiaopeng P5 and Aian Y, two players who specialize in "flexibility".
From this point of view, the ideal state is of course a one-click solution including folding seats, activating the blackout curtain and other operations; if conditions permit, it is better to have some AMSR or fragrance sleep assistance. Interestingly, both families attach great importance to the details behind, and Xiaopeng's intimate one-click entry into the sleep scene function must be able to grasp the hearts of some people who are "tired and don't want to clean up more".
No matter which car you choose as a place to stay, now, after lying down, we naturally hope to sleep in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and the noise control and sound insulation ability of the car come in handy. In this regard, it can be said that it is the innate advantage of electric vehicles: in the car, the noise of other tourists with excess energy has nothing to do with us, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner to bring additional vibration and noise to start the engine, and all the tasks left are to rest and recover. At this time, who can refuse a Xiaopeng P5 that can suppress the noise in the car below 35dB?
Compared with the idyllic leisure of camping, the fast-paced life of the city must be the daily life of more people, and the fatigue of work is often accompanied. At this time, what role can the car play and what role should it play?
In this regard, Xiaopeng P5 chose to be a companion, creating a comfortable driving space, which is equipped with a rare Nappa leather of the same level, bringing excellent support and wrapping, soft touch. Even if many brands will ignore the seat headrest part, Xiaopeng P5 has a unique design, the front and rear seat headrests are inspired by aviation headrests, the front row is a foldable aviation headrest, the soft wings on both sides can be folded, providing the best head posture fixation and support for the front row drivers and passengers; the rear row is the wide design of the aviation headrest, which can provide comfortable head contact surface support for the passenger in a wider range, and the rear backrest angle is large, the sitting feeling is comfortable, and the second to sleep on the car is admired.
In addition, Xiaopeng P5 has many details, such as in order to take care of the rear driver and occupants, the air outlet located above the central control screen is added to make the air circulation faster; the front door water cup position is designed for side placement, which can effectively stagger the position of the cup and speaker... Everything is in the details.
When it comes to falling asleep, there is also a problem, that is, the air quality after the air conditioner is turned on - almost every year there are cases of carbon monoxide poisoning or suffocation in the car, which is naturally not what we campers expect. An intelligent electric vehicle must at least be able to monitor the air quality in the car in real time, and actively adjust and ventilate in a timely manner. At this point, the X-Sleep of Xiaopeng P5 seems to be more well considered, not only supporting ventilation and adjustment functions, but also alerting the danger in time when the carbon monoxide concentration is abnormal, and active and passive are taken care of is the really reliable double insurance.
So if the camping night is too exciting, the body is tired but just can't sleep, what should be done? Even straight men should blurt out looking up at the night sky. Whether it is a couple who uses this to exchange heartfelt words, you and me, or small talk between close friends, lying down to watch the long river gradually fall and the stars sink, it will always be a romance that belongs to human beings. At this time, a large-scale panoramic canopy with a suitable light transmittance is a relic that witnesses the further bondage of travelers - coincidentally, under this wave of intelligent car manufacturing, it seems that few car builders will ignore this romance.
And after a night, this canopy may be for you to watch a new sun rising, bringing a broader vision and deeper feelings.
epilogue:
With so much to imagine, it's time to knock on the blackboard. Yes, a spontaneous camping trip is not necessarily the exclusive domain of traditional fuel vehicles, SUVs or even one-and-a-half trailers; a new era electric model that is reliable enough, smart enough, and space layout and configuration can also satisfy most of our fantasies about the possibility of camping. Just like the Xiaopeng P5 mentioned many times above, although it is an A-class sedan camp that is intuitively difficult to hook up with camping, it can bring people happiness and consistency.
