The range test of electric vehicles in extremely cold weather In extremely cold weather, the temperature drops to about minus 40 degrees, and the extremely cold weather conditions make everyone feel severe. Under such climatic conditions, after three hours of resting and maintenance work, six different models of electric vehicles began a rigorous range test. The maintenance work lasted 81 minutes, and the maintenance process was carried out in the presence of the car company.
The live stream showed that testing in such an extremely cold environment took a lot of time to set up, and many devices did not even work properly in such an environment.
Models tested include: Wenjie M7 (175 km electric range), VOYAH FREE (160 km pure electric range), WEY brand Alpine DHT (140 km pure electric range), DENZA D9 (145 km pure electric range), Yangwang U8 (124 km pure electric range) and Lynk & Co 08 (185 km pure electric range).
During the test, the first to withdraw was the Lynk & Co 08, which only ran 6After 5 kilometers, there was an engine failure, and the electric mode could not continue. The second is the M7, when the power battery is 31%, the engine intervenes, and the pure electric mode is driven by 106 km. Next is the Wei brand Gaoshan, when the power is 29%, the engine intervenes and drives 174 km.
It was followed by the Denza D9, with the engine involved at 24% battery charge and 18 driving in pure electric mode9 km. Subsequently, the VOYAH FREE drove 368 km, the result was somewhat unexpected. In the end, it was the U8 that looked up and drove 655 km, engine intervention at 23% charge. Similar to the results of the first winter test, the U8 had the last laugh again.
The test demonstrated the range challenges of electric vehicles in extremely cold environments, as well as the differences in performance between different models in extreme conditions. For consumers, such test results provide an important reference for their expectations and choices for using electric vehicles in extremely cold weather.
