In the blink of an eye, 2023 has come to an end, and we have ushered in the deep winter season. In the minds of many people, it should be a romantic season when the snow is falling heavily in winter, holding hot milk tea and fried chestnuts with sugar. However, for new energy vehicle owners in some parts of Henan, this winter seems to be a little anxious. Recently, many places in Henan have ushered in heavy snowfall, and the snow depth in Zhengzhou and other cities has even reached 15 centimeters. This is a test for car owners.
In this kind of weather, many new energy vehicle owners have suffered from it, because in the blizzard weather, new energy vehicles still expose obvious shortcomings. First of all, in cold weather, many new energy vehicle owners found that their car battery life plummeted, the original range of 400 kilometers of the model, the actual range of only more than 200 kilometers, the battery life is greatly reduced, resulting in the need for frequent charging. It's not much of a problem for some car owners who have private parking spaces and charging piles, but those who often use commercial charging piles are not having a good time. Traveling on a thick snowy road can be a problem, let alone waiting to recharge in cold weather. Even if it is fast charging, it takes about 1 hour to charge slowly, which is a torment for car owners.
Secondly, although new energy vehicles have the characteristics of fast acceleration, strong power and high degree of intelligence, this advantage seems to be worthless in blizzard weather. The snow causes the road to be slippery, which does not reflect the characteristics of fast acceleration at all, and most ordinary people's electric vehicles are single-motor driven, not to mention the four-wheel drive function, which obviously affects the traffic. Many new energy vehicles have a high level of intelligent assisted driving, but this kind of snowy road, car owners are not very confident about the automatic driving assistance function. For example, if you let your car park automatically, but the road is slippery and the car is still following the programme, it is easy to have problems. The number of new energy vehicles in Zhengzhou alone has reached about 250,000, and these 250,000 new energy vehicle owners are thoughtful: will it become a "farce" for new energy to replace fuel vehicles?
All in all, although the current new energy technology is rapidly improving, there are still obvious shortcomings, such as battery life attenuation in cold weather, battery instability, safety and other problems. And the supporting facilities are not perfect, and not everyone has private charging piles and parking spaces. Therefore, at present, fuel vehicles are still the mainstream choice, even if you want to choose new energy, I think you still choose the big factory brand.
