With the advent of winter, the battery life of new energy vehicles has surfaced again, and the severe cold weather in the northern region has made new energy vehicles face greater challenges. According to the winter test data of Chedi, except for particularly excellent new energy vehicles, the battery life of most models in winter is only 30%-50% of the nominal battery life. Such a result makes it clearer to consumers that the actual range of new energy vehicles in the cold winter will be greatly reduced. There are many reasons behind this phenomenon.
In everyday use, people often use vehicles in a very different environment than they would ideally. For example, in winter, when the weather is cold, the vehicle needs to be heated by an air conditioner, and the use of the air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity. Real-life use cases are more complex than ideal temperatures and speeds. In addition, the performance of the power battery will also be affected by the low temperature environment, resulting in a weakened range. In daily driving, vehicles often need to accelerate and decelerate frequently, especially at high speeds, and the energy consumption will also be more rapid. The combination of these factors results in the actual range that most consumers get is much lower than the nominal value. Earlier, a car owner said in an interview that in the summer, the range of his new energy vehicle was only about half of the nominal range. Today's winter test results once again verify the actual observation of consumers, indicating that this is not an illusion, but the real situation of the performance of new energy vehicles in winter.
With the advent of winter, the use of new energy vehicles has also brought a series of troubles. Due to the reduced battery life, car owners have to recharge frequently. Coupled with the slower charging speed in winter, the problem of insufficient charging piles in the city is more serious, resulting in consumers charging for longer times in winter, and even need to wait in line for charging, which brings a lot of inconvenience to consumers.
Long-distance travel in summer is already a test for new energy vehicles, and the power consumption of air conditioning caused by hot weather has caused many consumers to feel a headache. At high speeds, the vehicle's power consumption increases dramatically, resulting in a significant reduction in range. Some consumers are even worried about the lack of battery life and dare not turn on the air conditioner, making the heat in the car unbearable. Winter is more difficult for consumers, winter air conditioning consumes more electricity, many car owners choose not to use air conditioning, and as a result, new energy vehicle owners become particularly painful in the cold winter. Whether it's summer or winter, driving a new energy vehicle for long-distance travel is a torture. Some consumers say that running 500 kilometers long distances in summer can be charged onceIn winter, it may need to be recharged 4 times, and almost every 2-3 service areas need to be recharged, which makes consumers feel very painful.
In the face of these problems, consumers need to be more cautious when purchasing new energy vehicles. For urban commuting, the use of new energy vehicles is relatively more suitable, and the electricity bill is relatively cheap. However, if long-distance travel is required, especially during the cold winter months, the use of new energy vehicles needs to be carefully considered. Although new energy vehicles are of great significance in terms of environmental protection and energy saving, there are still many limitations in practical use. In the real world, the range of new energy vehicles is not as indicated by the nominal value, especially in the cold winter. Therefore, when choosing whether to buy a new energy vehicle, consumers need to comprehensively consider their own travel needs and environmental conditions.
In short, the endurance of new energy vehicles in the cold winter has once again attracted widespread attention. The severe cold weather in winter has led to a significant reduction in the endurance of new energy vehicles, coupled with problems such as inconvenient charging, which has brought more problems to consumers. Therefore, consumers need to fully understand these problems when buying new energy vehicles, and adapt and adjust them in actual use. At the same time, automobile companies also need to increase R&D efforts to improve the performance and endurance of new energy vehicles in low-temperature environments to meet consumers' expectations and needs for new energy vehicles. Only on the premise of comprehensively considering the pros and cons can we better choose and use new energy vehicles and make greater contributions to environmental protection and pollution reduction.
