Seeing such a title, some readers may feel very strange, is this not a contradiction, how can the short endurance be excessive, and the endurance is not enough? First of all, the author is not a title party, the reason for this situation is actually from a different position, the former represents the views of car companies, while the latter represents the views of consumers, so why does this lead to such a controversy?
In 2019, Xu Heyi, who is at the helm of BAIC, said such a sentence: The endurance of electric vehicles should not be too long, otherwise it is a waste of resources. The waste here does not simply refer to the waste caused by the exhaustion of electricity, but more to the waste of the cost of building a car. In terms of current technology, if greater battery life is required, the best way is to increase the quality of the battery, which will increase the material and increase the cost of making a car, and if the endurance is much greater than the actual needs of the user, this part of the excess cost will produce waste.
600km cruising should be the current industry, enterprises and suppliers to recognize the theoretical best cruising range, because from the perspective of car companies, such endurance results have been able to meet the basic needs of users' daily transportation, twin-city shuttle, but also to meet the use of small-scale travel, will not cause users too much sense of power consumption crisis.
Some people have analyzed this: a 600km electric vehicle summer mileage can be guaranteed at more than 500km, according to the daily use analysis of 60-70km, a week can be charged, between 150km between the two cities distance electric vehicle can also be perfectly coped with; and the winter endurance attenuation is more obvious, according to the maximum 400km analysis, it can also meet the 100km between the twin cities commuting, charging the strength of the car once a week.
In addition, the battery pack under such endurance performance will not be very large, the cost can be effectively controlled, and there is no serious overflow of comprehensive benefits and waste of resources. In general, for the sake of market demand and the comprehensive consideration of car manufacturing costs, to create a longer endurance at a lower price, 600km is the best choice, and the best selling model is also 500-600 km endurance.
But from the consumer's point of view, this is different. At present, there is a recognized fact that the endurance of new energy vehicles is serious, everyone understands that new energy vehicles in many cases are not in the best driving state, if it is in winter or in the high-speed road section, the vehicle's power will drop very quickly, if the user has other electricity behavior Actual endurance directly hit the fracture.
So in the eyes of consumers, long battery life I can not use up, but can not be without, just like the mobile phone battery, the power is not used up does not matter, but the low power will feel panic, everyone says is not this reason? Mobile phone is out of power is fine, find a place to charge it, but if the electric car is out of power, it is very troublesome, should no one want to push the electric car around to find a charging pile, right?
Moreover, due to the low charging efficiency and insufficient number of charging piles, the current problem of charging difficulties for new energy vehicles has not been solved. Oil truck full of oil can drive 600 kilometers, a few minutes to add oil and can run hundreds of kilometers, and the actual mileage will not be too much less; and the tram runs three or four hundred kilometers, not to mention how much time it takes to charge itself, now the number of charging piles is insufficient, uneven distribution, just to find charging piles and queue time may be very long, the sense of security is obviously not enough. It is for all these reasons that consumers generally feel that 1,000 km of endurance is not enough.
In fact, the current 1,000-kilometer endurance car is not nothing, but this will lead to a new contradiction, that is, its price is not too friendly, many consumers can not accept. Speaking of which, the best way is to solve the problem of charging, of course, this is easier said than done, and at present we can also see the efforts of all parties in this regard, and we still need to give electric vehicles more time to develop and improve.
Write at the end:
On this topic, everyone is inconsistent, from the perspective of car companies, or should start from the actual situation, reduce the phenomenon of endurance virtual standards; and from the perspective of consumers, how much endurance is enough is actually based on their actual use, do not follow the clouds, new energy vehicles are still in the development stage, we still need to give it more time.
