For friends in the car circle, the winter test of the car emperor has always attracted much attention. Interestingly, in the first test, Chedi was scolded because of the unsatisfactory test results for Yu Chengdong, Great Wall, Geely, Kia and other manufacturers. There are even some netizens who questioned the fairness of understanding Chedi by questioning the test fees. In order to clarify these doubts, Knowing Chedi decided to invite car companies and ** to participate in the on-site test for the second time, and conducted a live test under the witness of many ** and car companies. The final test results still adhere to the principle of fairness and justice, the top ranking is still in the front, and the models with unsatisfactory results are still not ideal. Although the test method may still be up for debate, the company has tried its best to be fair and has not treated any party specially. After the second test results were announced, those car companies with unsatisfactory results did not speak again, because so many ** and car companies witnessed, the results are enough to explain the problem. Of course, there are also some netizens who question the practical significance of the test, believing that it is realistic and feasible to conduct the test in such a cold environment. And I think this test is still meaningful, at least it tells us a truth: if you want to drive in the north, try not to choose electric vehicles.
In the extreme cold conditions in the north, the range of electric vehicles is greatly reduced. According to the test results, the range achievement rate of the hybrid model in the extremely cold environment is only 50%, which is already good. This means that the range of electric vehicles will be significantly reduced in extremely cold weather. In fact, many riders have conducted actual tests of more than minus 20 degrees, and the results have found that the range of electric vehicles has been reduced by at least half, or even lower. This undoubtedly brings a lot of trouble to car owners in the north, especially in many cities in the north, where almost a third of the time is below zero for a third of the year.
The battery life is greatly reduced, which is a major factor affecting the purchase of cars in the north. In extremely cold weather, the significant reduction in the range of electric vehicles will cause car owners to face a lot of inconvenience. Imagine that in a harsh winter, the electric car runs out of power, and the owner needs to plan the charging in advance, often go to the charging pile and wait patiently, which is undoubtedly a tedious experience. In contrast, the endurance of traditional fuel vehicles is hardly affected by extreme cold weather, which is more convenient to use and operate. Therefore, when buying a car in the north, it is wise to try to avoid choosing an electric car.
In addition to the reduction of the range of electric vehicles in cold environments, it is also necessary to consider the impact of extremely cold weather on electronic devices. In extremely cold environments, electronic devices tend to perform less reliably than gasoline vehicles. In addition, electric vehicles have many electronic devices that are more susceptible to extreme cold temperatures. For example, when the temperature drops sharply, the battery capacity of an electric vehicle is affected, resulting in a decrease in the amount of energy stored by the battery. In addition, the charging speed of electric vehicles will also be slower, as low temperatures will cause the internal resistance of the battery to increase. The combination of these problems makes electric vehicles less stable and reliable to operate in cold climates in the north than fuel vehicles.
For car owners in the north, the reliability of electronic devices is an important consideration. In the cold winter, car owners need to rely on the vehicle's electronics to provide more comfort and safety. However, if the electronic equipment of an electric vehicle is affected by extremely cold temperatures, this brings many inconveniences and safety hazards to the car owner. For example, the navigation system may malfunction, the seat heating function may not work properly, and even the overall performance of the vehicle may be affected. In contrast, traditional fuel vehicles are less affected by extreme cold weather because they do not have too many electronic devices, and are more reliable and stable. Therefore, it is still a wiser decision for northern car owners to choose fuel vehicles.
Through the test of understanding the car emperor, we can't help but reflect: whether we should buy electric vehicles when driving in the north?In extremely cold weather, the range of electric vehicles is greatly reduced, and even the reliability of electronic devices can be affected. Although some have questioned whether such a test is out of practice, the results undoubtedly tell us the fact that northern cities are below zero for a considerable part of the year. In such climates, it may be wiser to choose a gasoline vehicle because it has a better range and reliability. Of course, with the continuous advancement of technology, electric vehicles may have better performance in extremely cold environments in the future, but for now, we still need to consider many problems of electric vehicles when driving in the north. It may be wiser to choose a fuel vehicle that is adapted to the northern climate, allowing us to drive more stably and with peace of mind in the cold winter.
