Every winter is a big test for new energy vehicles. It is even said that from the day of the birth of new energy vehicles, everyone will look down on new energy vehicles every winter, especially in recent days, many places across the country have encountered cold wave and snowstorm weather, which has made the new energy vehicles that have been discounted in winter "worse". However, not only new energy vehicles ushered in a big test in blizzard weather, but also some traditional shortcomings of fuel vehicles were ruthlessly amplified.
First of all, let's talk about fuel vehicles. In some areas in winter, because of the heavy snowfall and the sudden drop in temperature, the road directly becomes a "skating rink", when the road is icy, due to the friction between the wheels and the road surface is greatly weakened, and most of the oil vehicles are front-wheel drive models, the road surface is slippery and easy to slip and brake, and even the car is out of control. For rear-wheel drive cars, it is even more of a nightmare, and the skidding phenomenon will be more serious.
In addition, the inconvenience and cost increase of fuel vehicles in winter use are more obvious. In extremely cold weather, gasoline vehicles need to consume a lot of gasoline to increase the heat of the engine. What's more, most fuel vehicles do not support remote start, and it will be very cold to wake up and enter the car. It is necessary to enter the car for ignition starting, which is especially inconvenient in cold environments. The engine needs to heat up the car for a longer period of time, which is not only time-consuming, but can also lead to carbon deposits in the new car, which in turn can affect the performance of the vehicle. The problem of difficulty starting at low temperatures is more common for fuel vehicles, which is mainly caused by the low power of the starting battery and the increased viscosity of the oil.
Let's look at new energy vehicles. Generally speaking, most of the new energy vehicles of 200,000 and above are matched with dual-motor systems, and even mid-to-high-end models can achieve chassis raising and lowering, with good passability. The blessing of dual motors allows the new car to have four-wheel drive ability, and the ability to limit slip is much stronger, and in the face of ice and snow roads, this four-wheel drive electric vehicle has obvious advantages.
And more than 100,000 electric vehicles basically have a remote function, the owner starts remotely in advance, turns on the air conditioner, blows hot air on the front windshield, and heats the seats, which can improve the comfort of the car, and the energy consumption of the tram is not high, which is the biggest advantage of pure electric vehicles.
However, the disadvantages of pure electric vehicles in cold weather are magnified. First of all, the endurance is greatly weakened, presumably during this time, many friends have seen a winter test, the temperature of the test site is as low as minus 40 degrees, although the probability of most car owners encountering this low temperature situation is extremely low, but the problem of pure electric vehicles being afraid of cold is undoubtedly exposed again, and many car owners even dare to calculate the driving distance according to the folded range. And there are also some cases where the low temperature cannot be charged, and slow charging is also the norm.
Another disadvantage is that because pure electric vehicles do not have an engine, the hood part can not produce high temperatures, resulting in many car owners driving for two or three days to find that the snow on the hood has not melted, and it needs to be cleaned manually, otherwise it is extremely easy to affect driving safety.
In general, in the winter ice and snow weather every year, we should not only stare at the shortcomings of new energy vehicles, but also see the many advantages of new energy vehicles in terms of environmental protection and efficiency. Perhaps, we should pay more attention to how to improve the adaptability of new energy vehicles, so that they can operate normally in all weather conditions. Personally, I think that if it is only used for transportation in winter, the advantages of pure electric vehicles are still relatively obvious, the safety performance is enhanced, and the energy consumption will not increase too much. And if you drive for a long time, the advantages of fuel vehicles will be more prominent, because there is almost no range anxiety problem. However, the shortcomings of short-term fuel vehicles are greatly amplified, if the oil variety is not selected correctly, there will be insufficient power, carbon deposits in the cylinder, and even failure to ignite.
