On December 14th, in the live broadcast of the open day of the winter test of the Chedi Commander, the most eye-catching cruising range test results were announced: looking up to the U8 won the championship with 65.5 kilometers, and the much-talked-about M7 was slapped in the face again, only 10.6 kilometers.
The organizer invites all participating test companies to observe the site
In this 2023 Winter Test Open Day, the organizer invited all the car companies participating in the test to Mohe for on-site observation, and conducted a live broadcast of the whole process.
A total of six models participated in the "Extreme Cold Pure Electric Range" test, including Yangwang U8 (2023 U8 Luxury Edition), Wenjie M7 (2024 M7 Max Five-seater 4WD Intelligent Driving Edition), VOYAH FREE (2024 Ultra-Long Range Intelligent Driving Version), WEY Brand Alpine DHT (2023 Alpine 4WD Flagship Edition), Denza D9 (2022 D9 DM-i 970 4WD Flagship Edition) and Lynk & Co 08 (Lynk & Co 08 EM-P220 4WD Performance Halo).
As a result, the measured cruising range results are as follows: Yangwang U8 65.5 km (CLTC pure electric range 124 km), VOYAH FREE 36.8 km (WLTC pure electric range 160 km, CLTC pure electric range 210 km), DENZA D9 18.9 km (NEDC pure electric range 180 km, WLTC pure electric range 145 km), WEY brand Alpine 17.4 km (WLTC pure electric range 140 km), and Wenjie M7 10.6 km (WLTC electric range 175 km, CLTC electric range 210 km), Lynk & Co 08 EM-P 6.5 km (WLTC electric range 185 km, CLTC electric range 220 km).
There are some models that are not under normal circumstances
Some people may think that the data of some models is too eye-catching. In fact, although the test rules are exactly the same as the previous tests, due to the lower ambient temperature and longer stand-up time, the test results will also vary greatly, and some models will be obtained under abnormal conditions.
It was revealed that the Lynk & Co 08EM-P, which was "at the bottom" of the results, lit up the engine failure light during the maintenance process, and should not continue to participate in the test. As for the M7, the 10.6km result means that when the car reaches this mileage, the engine starts to work and the battery is still 33% charged. After running 18.9 kilometers in the same pure electric state, the engine began to intervene when there was still 24% of the battery left.
Some industry insiders pointed out that in the normal test, the total voltage after full charge, the remaining voltage of the battery when the engine enters the boundary and other values should be combined to accurately detect the battery working condition of the vehicle.
Questioned by many car companies, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers called for the formulation of new energy vehicle evaluation standards
Recently, the 2023 winter test results announced by Knowing Chedi have continued to attract attention in the automotive industry. Wenjie, Great Wall, Geely, VOYAH, Kia and many other car companies have questioned the results of the winter test of Chedi. On December 14th, with the official participation of Tesla, there are currently 6 car companies that have publicly questioned the understanding of Chedi winter testing, and the doubts are mainly focused on the unscientific, unrigorous and unfair testing standards and methods, resulting in distortion, inaccuracy and dishonesty in the final results.
In response to this test, Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, CEO of Device BG, and Chairman of Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU, posted a "bombardment" on Moments, calling it a "test of pit people", "Science and rigor are the basic rules that should be followed!"
In the face of doubts, the Chedi side said that all vehicles participating in the winter test use a unified standard, there is no discrimination, and all test data are true and valid. Up to now, the company has not announced its detailed test standards and the status of each vehicle.
In addition, Dr. Wang Yao, assistant secretary general and director of the technology department of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said in an interview that the healthy development of the automotive industry requires the establishment of a scientific and standardized new energy vehicle evaluation system. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers is cooperating with industry enterprises and professional testing institutions to jointly formulate new energy vehicle evaluation standards, and plans to release them in the form of association group standards.
With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market, consumers' demand for vehicle performance and mileage is constantly improving, and the healthy development of the automotive industry does need to establish a scientific and standardized new energy vehicle evaluation system. Many netizens have called for the introduction of truly scientific, professional, rigorous and fair testing standards as soon as possible, so as to bring real value to the development of the industry and the purchase of cars by users.
