Mileage restrictions aside, how cool is the tram outing?
When it comes to electric vehicle self-driving travel, many people refuse, for the simple reason that the mileage is insufficient and charging is inconvenient. But if you look at the whole journey, considering the comfort and camping experience, is the electric car really not suitable?
After several holidays of practice to confirm, in terms of the current charging conditions, driving electric vehicles to run long distances is indeed not a wise choice, not only some third- and fourth-tier cities have few charging stations, even the service area is also queued up to charge, the general electric vehicle fully charged at least 1 hour, so the whole journey may even exceed the time of hurrying. Therefore, there will indeed be many uncertainties in pure electric models for long-distance travel, but new energy models do not only have pure electric vehicles.
The most suitable model for long-distance travel is still new energy
In fact, for long-distance travel, the best model is still a new energy model, but the two relatives of the pure tram to increase the range and plug and mix, now a lot of range and plug and mixed models of the full power full fuel endurance has exceeded 1000 kilometers, which shows that the same trip they have less refueling times, while the fuel economy is also stronger, although the holiday high-speed is free, but the fuel cost you have to pay for it yourself, the fuel money saved by the hybrid and the extended car should be able to eat a lot of delicious food. And the hybrid and extended range models also take into account the advantages of pure electric models such as smooth acceleration and stronger tranquility.
This May Day, Beijing outing got rid of "mileage anxiety"
This year's May Day holiday in Beijing can be called "the most depressed", due to the epidemic situation across the province to travel has become more difficult, want to go out to play friends can only choose suburban self-driving travel, but even if the suburban travel we also have to try to minimize the gathering, then the advantages of pure electric model self-driving tour is reflected.
First of all, even if Beijing is large, the one-way trip of the suburban self-driving tour generally does not exceed 200km, that is, the round-trip distance is within 400km, coupled with the current temperature and environment is very "friendly" for trams, so NEDC models with a range of more than 600km can almost complete the entire journey without charging. The NEDC model with a range of less than 400km can complete the entire journey almost once with the power replenishment of the charging station in advance. After the travel range is limited, the "range anxiety" of electric vehicles seems to be much better. (However, it is still recommended to plan the route and charging point in advance, I believe that for pure electric car owners, you have become a habit)
Without mileage anxiety and charging anxiety, then the advantages of low travel cost of pure electric models are directly magnified, the previously mentioned hybrid and extended range models will save a lot of fuel costs compared to fuel vehicles, but recently this oil price has risen really badly, even if it saves fuel, it will cost hundreds. But the tram is different, even in the peak stage of electricity prices, each kWh of electricity is almost 2 yuan, then a car full of 80kWh batteries is only 160 yuan, and the general 80kWh battery models have a range of 500km. Therefore, in this Beijing on May Day, pure trams that get rid of the problem of endurance can play their greatest advantages.
These advantages, fuel vehicles can not be
Pure electric models and fuel models of the driving form is completely different, so the riding experience is also a big difference, although many pure electric models due to fast speed increase caused by passenger motion sickness, but due to the characteristics of the motor so that the start and acceleration of pure electric models more linear, if the driving technology in place will also bring a better experience. At the same time, the lack of an engine also makes the quietness of pure electric models better, but it should be noted that the vehicle must also have a good suppression of tire noise and wind noise. However, the above advantages are actually more upscale fuel models can also be done, so let's talk about some fuel vehicles can not do.
The demand for space for family outings is much higher than our daily travel, and the pure electric model has a greater role in space due to the lack of mechanical restrictions such as engines. Compared with the fuel model, the pure electric model can achieve a shorter front and rear suspension, to win a certain space for the car, and because the chassis structure has become simple, it also makes the layout of the car more flexible. For example, although AION Y and CR-V are compact, visually I feel that CR-V is larger than AION Y more than one lap, but in fact, the wheelbase of AION Y is 90mm more than CR-V, in the interior space, AION Y's riding experience does not give us the feeling of a boutique car, but more abundant, which is the advantage of pure electric models in space. (This is not implantation, it's just a typical case.) AION, hit the money! ）
With the advantages of large space and flexible layout, the new forces known for creating inspiration can not be spared, some car companies have played out the concept of "third space", the car into a new independent space, in the car we can cut into different "modes", the car can be made into a comfortable big bed room, or a video room, or a game hall, which is for travel even in the wild can have their own exclusive "territory", that is, enjoy the nature also has a comfortable rest space, and reduce the gathering in this epidemic environment It's also a lot safer to have an exclusive space.
In addition to the above advantages, pure electric models because there is no engine, so we can always keep the start state when we are asleep, do not have to worry about carbon deposits and there is no danger of lack of oxygen in the car, many pure electric models are even equipped with a sleep mode, by adjusting air conditioning and in-car audio and other facilities to bring the best sleeping environment for passengers in the car. However, it should be noted that staying in the car still needs to be in a safe place, and remember not to spend the night in the wild.
The new energy kill, picnic can also eat hot
Here is a personal experience of my first two weeks, spring blossoms I went to Hongjing Road with my friends to come to a self-driving tour, the process of running the mountain is very enjoyable, the blink of an eye time came to noon, we took out the self-heating pot prepared in advance to start a "hearty" picnic, just when we lamented that this invention made our outing finally eat a hot mouth, next to a BYD, after parking, the family skillfully began to lay out the tableware ingredients, and then directly inserted the discharge gun and began to cook the hot pot. At this point, the self-heating pot on our picnic mat was instantly out of flavor. (BYD, play money!) ）
In addition to the hot pot, some camping small electrical appliances new energy vehicles of the external discharge function is also no pressure (friends who use this function can comment on what electrical appliances you have used in the comment area), as for the power consumption, eating a meal can not consume a few degrees of electricity, for the hybrid and extended range models are even more afraid, not to mention that if it is a mountain road down the mountain, the kinetic energy recovered has basically been made up for the power consumption used for cooking external discharge, so everyone can eat with confidence. However, at present, there are not many models of external discharge, and this function suggests that new energy models be directly popularized.
Holiday travel, people's demand for the car is nothing more than comfort and endurance, after the range of activities is limited, the pure electric model can be said to have played the greatest advantage, and in the case of getting rid of the distance restrictions, the two new energy models of hybrid and extended range also have better performance than fuel vehicles. So, would you choose a pure electric model or a hybrid model for your trip? Or continue to stick to fuel vehicles? Tell us your reasons and let's discuss them.
