"The first batch of people who drove an electric dad home", the first hot search

Have you all returned to work smoothly?

This year's Spring Festival feels more crowded and difficult than ever.

Some people were blocked by heavy snow on the highway in Hunan and Hubei for several days, and "all the New Year's goods they brought were eaten":

Some people drive themselves in Hainan, and they can't get tickets for the outbound ferry, so they have to abandon the car and buy high-priced tickets to return:

Of course, there are also users who drive "electric dads" to travel during the holidays:

No. 1 in the hot search, on the list for 18 hours, with more than 400 million reads:

The annual debate of "trams driving long distances" is more intense than ever during this year's Spring Festival.

"The first people who drove their electric dad home, regretted it"

The direct reason for the detonation of the topic is that Phoenix Life Daily has made another "New Year" tweet, the content is nothing new, or how embarrassing and embarrassing it is to travel electric vehicles during holidays.

There is no actual experience, and there is not even data to support it, but it does not prevent the frequent occurrence of golden sentences.

For example, "pure electric work to Lhasa is the ultimate test of temper and courage for the new middle class", "I hate myself the most for my lack of martial arts, and I didn't win the battle for the charging pile with the brother next door", "I am hungry, and I have to beg for a bite to eat for my electric father"...

In addition, it also turned out the official propaganda of NIO entering Tibet N years ago, and the old news of the team followed by the support car to support the point of view.

directly attracted the response of Shen Fei, vice president of Weilai: "I don't know who is so bad, and I pushed this to the hot search."

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Weibo topic "The first batch of people who drove electric dads home regretted it" rushed to the first place in the hot search.

Every holiday is bound to be hyped, but this year's Spring Festival attention is far more than in the past, the main reasons are:

Most users are stuck in traffic on the way home, immersed in the scene, feeling it, and surfing the Internet while complaining.

"Electric dad", who broke the defense?

There are about 3 genres of heated quarrels.

One is that long-distance anxious EV users do not plan their trips, do not understand the purpose of the product, and only complain when they are cocooned:

One is the stalwart oil cart party gloating:

Even, according to different products such as trams, hybrids, oil vehicles, battery swaps, etc., analyze the user's personality background, rising region, and personal attacks:

In 2023, the penetration rate of new energy in mainland China will be 31.6%. Among them, there are four super first-line companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the penetration rate of new energy exceeds 40%. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Public Security, the number of pure electric models is 15.52 million.

According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Transport at the end of 2023, about 20,000 high-speed charging piles have been built across the country, and about 50,000 parking spaces are covered by charging guns.

In other words, according to the average power of 100kW of 400V fast charging piles and the average 60-70 kWh of on-board batteries, the national highway network can meet the charging needs of 2.5 million vehicles in one day (24h).

Excluding the 6 hours in the early morning, a total of 1.8 million vehicles can be charged during peak hours.

During the Spring Festival, the average number of non-commercial passenger cars on highways and ordinary national and provincial roads was 140 million (data from the Ministry of Communications), and according to 3 people per car, there were about 300 million trips per day.

Among them, pure electric vehicles certainly account for less than 1/3, but there are definitely tens of millions of trains.

Therefore, during the peak holiday period, there is at least a gap of several times between the supply and demand of charging energy in the national highway network.

However, the situation has improved considerably from previous years.

According to the same statistics from the Ministry of Communications and the State Grid, the number of charging infrastructure in mainland China is almost doubling every year.

This is also why, the hot search topic is "the first batch of people who drive electric dads", because Phoenix Life Daily only interviewed a user who drove pure electric travel 6 years ago.

Therefore, the real situation reflected by most users under the hot search topic has been greatly improved:

At present, long-distance travel does have charging problems, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between charging resources, and the best choice is still hybrid or fuel vehicles to run long distances, but pure electric users also have to look forward to.

800V supercharging is becoming popular on the industrial side, and the cruising range of the tram itself is also exceeding 800km and 1000km.

A large number of OEMs, power grids, and petrochemical giants have begun to build battery swap facilities.

In fact, the first hot search of "electric dad" directly shows that new energy, especially pure electric vehicles, is being popularized and penetrated on a large scale, and more and more traditional car users are switching to the new energy camp.

Naturally, there is a more direct and subjective feeling of the product experience.

The overwhelming complaints and discussions have actually shown that new energy has won a game.

One more thing

The hot search of "the first batch of people who drove electric dads home" has revived some voices that firmly oppose electric vehicles.

But whether you like it or not, new energy is a big change promoted by the entire industry and the national level, and the product experience is also quickly winning the favor of users:

And an industry bigwig "made the final decision":

BYD Wang Chuanfu just said in a public speech:

"The development of new energy vehicles will only run faster and faster, and will not leave us with the opportunity to stop, slow down, and take a breath. ”
