New energy vehicles are so popular, almost every market segment has been turned upside down by new energy models, so which market segment has not been reshaped?

Pickup trucks should be counted as one, and the vast majority of domestic pickup truck sales are contributed by fuel vehicles. However, BYD, Geely and other manufacturers are also entering the game quickly.

You know, the pickup truck is a very fun model, so after adding the new energy BUFF, what are the differences? Next, I will combine my experience as a former engineer and the new cars I have experienced in the past years to analyze and analyze for you!

1. Energy consumption advantage

Here we go directly to the case: take the more representative Geely radar RD6 as an example, this is a pure electric pickup truck, the power consumption of 100 kilometers is 16.5 degrees, the electricity service fee is calculated at a high price of 2 yuan, and the cost of 100 kilometers is only about 30 yuan;

2. Endurance level

China's vast land and resources, pure electric models in remote areas are still difficult to apply, pickup truck environment is mainly rural, mountainous, scenic spots, limited charging infrastructure, the current battery life will be a pain point, therefore, plug-in hybrid or extended range will become the mainstream for a period of time.

3. Power performance

The maximum power of the fuel version pickup truck of 180kW is already first-class, but on the other hand, if you look at the new energy pickup, the maximum power of 200kW belongs to the entry, the maximum power of the radar horizon that was just launched in April is 315kW, and the maximum comprehensive power of the Great Wall Shanhai Cannon New Energy Hi4-T is 300kW.

4. Ability to get out of trouble

The fuel version of the pickup is weak, while the new energy pickup is often capable of flying bricks, and is often equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system, which can not only get out of trouble independently, but also vigorously produce miracles.

5. Wading ability

The engine and exhaust pipe of fuel pickup trucks are prone to water ingress and often need to use wading hoses; The pure electric pickup has better sealing and stronger wading ability, such as the radar horizon that we went to test drive not long ago, its wading ability has reached 815mm, of course, except for plug-in hybrid and extended range pickups.

6. Comfort performance

Traditional pickup trucks have rough skin and thick flesh, and generally do not emphasize comfort; However, under the general trend of electrification and intelligence, the chassis of new energy pickup trucks is better tuned, the electronic four-wheel drive system is more sensitive, the shock absorption is better, the noise is less, and the comfort is higher.

7. Camping convenience

The fuel version of the pickup is unlikely to stay in the car for a long time, and the new energy pickup can turn on the air conditioning for a long time, allowing people to rest in the car for a long time, provided that the power is sufficient.

8. Emergency response capability

The fuel version of the pickup truck only carries oil, which actually can't solve too many problems, and can only wait for rescue at critical moments; In the case of electricity, the new energy pickup truck has a lot of imagination space, such as being able to keep warm, boiling hot water, and supplying power to other vehicles.

9. Playability

What the fuel version of the pickup can do, the new energy pickup can basically do; However, new energy pickups often have an external discharge function, which can be connected to various electrical appliances, such as karaoke and barbecue in the wild, charging children's toys, and watching open-air movies on the screen.

10. Entertainment

The intelligence level of the fuel version pickup truck is generally low, the entertainment function is average, and it cannot be sustained for a long time; The new energy pickup truck can sit in the car to watch dramas, watch movies and even karaoke.

11, Safety

The "safety" of the fuel version of the pickup truck is mostly reflected in the mechanical level, while the new energy pickup truck can often provide L2 level driving assistance functions.

12. Convenience of travel

Pickup trucks still have certain traffic restriction policies, and the traffic restriction policies in different cities are different, but fortunately, some large cities should adjust the new energy pickup restrictions in a timely manner, and relax the restrictions on new energy pickup trucks and numbers, such as new energy pickup trucks can pass during off-peak hours in Hangzhou; In Chengdu, the right of way of new energy pickup trucks is also higher than that of fuel pickup trucks, and it is believed that this trend will be further strengthened.

In addition, the advantages of intelligent electric vehicles under the blessing of electrification and intelligence have been mentioned in our series of popular science books such as "A Book to Understand New Energy Vehicles", "A Book to Understand Intelligent Connected Vehicles", "A Book to Understand Intelligent Low-carbon Vehicles", etc., interested friends can pay attention!

Conclusion

This bunch of advantages is not to persuade you to buy a new energy pickup, because there are three mountains on the pickup: one is to inspect once a year within ten years, and two inspections a year after ten years; the second is that it must be scrapped directly after 15 years; Third, you must pay tolls when you take the highway on holidays.

So the ultimate torture comes: who is more suitable for family users, fuel version pickup truck or new energy pickup truck? In fact, the conclusion still depends on the demand: the fuel version of the pickup truck is a niche model, often used to pull goods, adventures, and emergencies; The new energy pickup truck is suitable for self-driving tours, short-distance trips on weekends, and can also be used for daily commuting, which is more suitable for family users.

At present, the attack of major new energy manufacturers on the pickup market is still in its infancy, but the advantages of new energy pickup trucks are obvious. If you still want to tap its new energy potential, you can take a look at my previous book "A Book to Understand New Energy Vehicles". So, if you have paid attention to the fuel version of the pickup truck before and gave up, will you consider the new energy pickup truck now? Feel free to write your answer in the comment area!
