How much battery life is appropriate? Some say the longer it is, the more appropriate it is.
For the real car buying group, the endurance is really not the longer the better, suitable for their own most important, electric vehicle development to today is already a high price, relatively low quality products.
Does a 200,000 electric car really bring a better use experience than the Accord and Passat in the past? I doubt it, if it weren't for subsidies and number plate attraction, would there really be a lot of people who would approve of electric vehicles from the heart?
There may be some, but sales will certainly not grow so fast.
The real sense has been recognized by the market, industry, enterprises and suppliers of the mileage, is 600km, this theoretical endurance performance has been able to meet the basic needs of users daily transportation, twin-city shuttle, while also meeting the use of small-scale travel.
Reasonable analysis is that a 600km electric vehicle summer mileage can be guaranteed at more than 500km, according to the daily use analysis of 60-70km, a weekly charging can be, 150km between the two cities can also be perfectly handled by electric vehicles.
Winter endurance attenuation is more obvious, according to the maximum 400km analysis, it can also meet the commuting between 100km between the two cities, and the strength of the car charged once a week.
The most critical thing is that in the current mature technology, reasonable cost control and excellent self-weight control, the endurance of 600km can be handled by only 80 degrees of battery pack at most, and there is no need for an overweight battery pack.
Excessively heavy battery packs will definitely make the cost of building cars higher, but also greatly increase the weight of the vehicle, safety, control, cost are huge pressure.
Therefore, at present, the industry recognizes and the most reasonable cruising range is 600km.
At the same time, there is another indicator is double points, models with a long battery life will not get more double points, the previous 600km model can get 8 new energy points, after the adjustment can only get 3.4 new energy points, a huge decline, and pure electric vehicles above 600km will not get more double points.
For enterprises, 600km must be a threshold, no one will produce an electric vehicle that can run 601km in theory, a comprehensive benefit overflow is serious, on the other hand, there is no meaning.
For users, what they want is the longest endurance performance within the lowest price, 600km is already a limit, in fact, many mainstream enterprises produce electric vehicles are about 550km products.
For example, Tesla, BYD and other mainstream products have a battery life of about 550km.
For users, the pain points of electric vehicles with a range of 500-600km have been very weak, and the sense of security of being full of primary electricity is sufficient, and what needs to be optimized is the charging speed and safety.
If the future can really do 30 minutes or even 20 minutes of full charge, then the endurance is stable at 500-600km is more enough, there is no need to pursue a longer cruising range.
For example, mobile phones, in fact, a truth.
Either with Apple to do the system very well, power consumption control is excellent, or with Android to improve the charging speed, 19 minutes full charge, this is also the Android camp's maximum battery capacity of 5000 mAh fundamental.
A larger battery means a heavier phone, a worse feel, and a harder time surviving in a more discerning environment.
The same is true for cars, we have to control, to be safe, to have a price advantage, too large battery packs will only have a battery life advantage, but others are no longer there, the barrel effect is obvious, it is difficult to have a better market share.
So we see that 500-600km electric vehicles sell the best, 1000km full of gimmicks of electric vehicles have no sales at all, or companies launch their purpose is just to gimmick, just to spoil.
