With the rise of electric currents, the decline of gasoline, and the automotive industry is undergoing drastic changes. In terms of sales, the substitution effect of electric vehicles on fuel vehicles has gradually emerged. In the first quarter of this year, the market penetration rate of new energy passenger cars in the mainland exceeded 20%, and one in every five new cars was a new energy vehicle. In first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the penetration rate of new energy has even exceeded 30%, which is quite a bit of a protagonist. Today, the driving experience of new energy vehicles (especially pure electric vehicles) has improved significantly, but the actual endurance and energy consumption performance are still uneven. Which endurance? Which appliances are less expensive? It is the Labor Day holiday, let Xiaobian take stock of the electric vehicles with reliable battery life.
In the face of electric vehicles with different attributes and different price points, readers and friends may feel dazzled. In the face of many performance indicators, the most concerned by consumers is undoubtedly the battery life performance. In major auto communities, false mileage is often complained about by evicted vehicle users. In order to help potential car owners cure the "difficulty in choosing a car", Aika Automobile continued to increase the evaluation of electric vehicles and created an X-eTEST evaluation system.
What is X-eTEST?
The Aika X-eTEST evaluation system is tailor-made for pure electric vehicles, and the test content and test standards have been comprehensively innovated. X-eTEST evaluates vehicles from five dimensions: body, function and interaction, triple electric system, driving and riding, and cost of use based on objective testing and subjective experience. X-eTEST has a full score of 100 points, of which the three-electric system accounts for 31 points, which is the evaluation dimension with the highest weight. Further subdivided, batteries and energy consumption accounted for 21 points, and electric drive systems accounted for 10 points. In the entire X-eTEST evaluation system, the weight of battery and energy consumption is more than one-fifth, which plays a decisive role in the evaluation results.
In addition, we also use the State Grid 60kW fast charging pile to conduct a power supplement test on electric vehicles, measuring the average charging power of SOC 30%-80% and SOC 80%-100% respectively. In the supplementary energy test, we have selected a special charging field station to ensure the accuracy and rigor of the test results as much as possible.
After a period of testing in recent times, the X-eTEST evaluation system currently covers 12 models, and the test articles of some models have been officially released. Over the next period of time, we will publish the full test results and display them on the car series page. In this article, let's take out the energy consumption and endurance test results separately and talk about the topics that are most interesting to electric vehicle consumers.
Which one has low energy consumption?
Which endurance?
The cruising range is determined by the energy consumption performance and battery capacity, which is a relatively comprehensive data. Many luxury cars consume too much energy, so they are equipped with large-capacity battery packs that provide a longer range. In contrast, low-energy models are often equipped with small-capacity battery packs, and the range is not advantageous. For example, Nezha V, which performed well in the energy consumption test, only has a comprehensive cruising range of 338km, and it is completely unable to touch the TOP5 threshold.
Which battery life is real?
Class: Compact SUV
Price: 20.53-28.53 million yuan
Dongfeng Honda e: NS1
Level: Small SUV
Price: 17.50-21.80 million yuan
From fuel to pure electricity, Honda has successfully passed on the brand DNA to make old friends feel incomparably familiar. e: The NS1 has no novel design, no thunderous power, but makes driving fun approachable and integrated into everyday driving. What was once a longboard is still a longboard today. As for the short board, e:NS1 strives to change itself, creating a more refined interior, a smarter machine, and a quieter cabin. For consumers who focus on mechanical quality, electric Honda may be a better Honda. Abandon prejudice and embrace the future, and the results are not bad.
Tesla Model 3
Class: Medium-sized car
Price: 27.99-36.79 million yuan
Whether in absolute performance or driving experience, Tesla Model 3 high-performance version has outstanding advantages compared with the same price model. So far, Model 3 still has obvious shortcomings, sound insulation, filtering needs to be improved, and the quality of the process is exposed to the rough nature of "beautiful country". But for those who are willing to accept new things for performance car enthusiasts, the Model 3 high-performance version is likely to give a complete surprise.
Extreme Kr 001
Class: Medium and large cars
Price: 29.90-38.60 million yuan
When the budget exceeds 300,000 yuan, consumers always expect more, and the mediocre generation is doomed to be forgotten. In order to let people form memories, the new power brands have their own magic. Tesla defines itself as the opposite of a fuel car, with a new design style and driving experience. China's new forces are not idle, Weilai focuses on user ecology, Xiaopeng emphasizes intelligent experience, and ideally tells the story of model dad. I understand Houlang's urgent expectations for overtaking in curves, but I sincerely hope that Chinese brands can catch up with or even surpass overseas brands in traditional fields. Today, Extreme Kr 001 has fulfilled half of its wish.
BYD Song PLUS EV
Class: Compact SUV
Price: 18.08-19.78 million yuan
Nowadays, the head Chinese brand has now formed its own family characteristics, and no longer needs to rely on the "configuration-price ratio" to seize the market. In the three-electric part, Song PLUS EV continues BYD's traditional advantages, with excellent energy consumption performance and energy replenishment efficiency, and power output reproduces the style of fuel vehicles. It does not have a crazy intelligent configuration, nor does it have a bo eyeball design such as gull wing doors and pixel lights, but it just meets the simple needs of home users.
Nezha V
Level: Small SUV
Price: 7.49-12.38 million yuan
As an entry-level scooter, Nezha V knows very well what kind of role he should play, comfortable enough, easy enough to drive, and at the same time trying to meet the current user requirements for entertainment and technology. Limited by the price, it naturally has a very obvious shortcoming, but as a low-threshold model, Nezha V has completed the task it should complete.
NIO ES6
Level: Medium SUV
Price: 35.80-52.60 million yuan
Since its delivery, WEIO ES6 has gone through a three-year product cycle, which is cheap and old for new forces that are iterating rapidly. But in actual experience, WEILAI ES6 still has surprising places, such as convenient power exchange and nomi interaction with temperature. Slightly regrettably, the mechanical quality of the ES6 is not satisfactory, especially the chassis texture and power calibration need to be improved. Entering the 2.0 era, can WEIO ES7 break through the ceiling? Let's wait and see.
Lingbao BOX
Level: Mini car
Price: 3.98-5.88 million yuan
Germany has golf, Japan has corolla, Britain has MINI, and the car culture of various countries has created a rich variety of classic models. In recent years, Chinese brands have played the trump card of pure electric mini cars, interpreting the characteristics of national conditions to the extreme. No blowing, no black, Lingbao BOX gave me an unprecedented experience. Without testing it myself, it's hard for me to imagine a mini car with such a spacious space, and it's hard to understand people's simple perception of "easy handling." In today's increasingly inward volume of competitors, Lingbao BOX has made people shine with the K-car concept and successfully won the opportunity to excel.
Editor's comments: Remember around 2015, the actual battery life of electric vehicles is 40% off, 30% off is a common thing. After the development of recent years, electric vehicles are no longer semi-finished products. Judging from the X-eTEST test results, the actual endurance of some models has even reached the official nominal value, eliminating the embarrassment of the "happy table". Of course, we should also note that high-speed energy consumption is still the short board of electric vehicles. To completely replace fuel vehicles, electric vehicles still have a long way to go.
