Why are northern users reluctant to choose new energy vehicles?Xiaotong found the answer from the latest Chedi winter test.
In terms of intelligence, many new energy vehicles that advertise themselves as outstanding in intelligent assistance configuration do not perform so well in snow environments. According to official data, the pass rates of the three test items of the night snow ACC static fake car test (60km h), the night backlight ACC static fake car test (60km h), and the backlight snow ACC static fake car test (40km h) are % and 50% respectively.
Frequent traffic accidents in winter ice and snow weather, the identification ability and timely braking ability of the product are a great challenge, intelligent configuration can bring additional safety backup to the people in the car, the list ranking will become a lot of northern users who want to start new energy vehicles to provide usable value of reference.
Of course, Xiaotong believes that users in the north pay more attention to the decline of battery life in winter. No, the official recently officially announced the latest results, but it has aroused questions from many manufacturers, what is going on?
The measured endurance data of the Chedi winter test project is only the ranking after the fourth place in the fuel consumption of pure electric SUVs, pure electric sedans and extended range plug-in hybrids, and the top three have not yet been announced. However, Xiaotong can see the basic strength of new energy vehicles from the current ranking.
Let's take a look at the battery life list of pure electric vehicles, among which the range achievement rate of the models on the SUV range list is actually not optimistic, and the range achievement rate of the fourth place Denza N7 is 5341%, the Model Y, which ranks 14th, has a range achievement rate of only 3968%, less than 40%.
The range achievement rate of the models on the sedan range list is even lower, and the BYD Seal EV, which ranks fourth, is only 50With a range achievement rate of 34%, the BMW i3 and Volkswagen ID. are in the bottom two3, respectively only 3341% and 3267% endurance achievement rate.
Seeing this, you may come to the conclusion that pure electric vehicles are unreliable in winter, Electric Daddy has really been hammered, and there is another point to complain about is that the top ten pure electric vehicle models with a battery life achievement rate in the 2022 winter test have a battery life achievement rate of more than 50%, while there are nine SUVs with a battery life achievement rate of more than 50% in the 2023 winter test, but there are only five sedans.
Could it be that after a year of development of pure electric vehicles, the daddy flavor is heavier?
In Xiaotong's view, this is not the case, and the main reason for the low endurance achievement rate of the 2023 winter test is the load. According to the official endurance test standard, the winter test was conducted in the extremely cold weather below minus 20 for a full-load endurance test, and the in-car air conditioning was turned on for about 24 throughout the whole process. For the load level, 60 kg of weighted sandbags were placed in each seat except the driver's seat the night before the test, while in the 2022 winter test endurance test standard, only the vehicle load of one driver was displayed.

There is no doubt that these two elements can make the range of pure electric vehicles drop faster than normal, and the 2023 winter test with a larger load has also reduced the overall range achievement rate a lot, but it is also because the test conditions of the two years are not exactly the same, and the change in the range achievement rate of pure electric vehicles naturally cannot reflect the technical changes of pure electric vehicles.
However, it is undeniable that the current stage of pure electric vehicles has not completely solved the problem of rapid decline in winter range, but the extreme cold test is quite different from the daily car environment in many parts of China. If you have a fixed charging station, and the situation of using a car is not so complicated, most of the situation is just commuting to work, pure electric vehicles are not so unworthy of the choice.
If northern users must choose new energy vehicles, range extension or hybrid should be their first choice, after all, there is no range anxiety, but after all, it is a hybrid model, and fuel consumption is a very important indicator.
Specifically, the average fuel consumption of the seven extended-range hybrid models is 928L 100km, while the average fuel consumption of the 12 plug-in hybrid models is 703L 100km, the difference between the fuel consumption of the two types of power is relatively large.
Xiaotong noticed that the fuel consumption is relatively low almost all extended range hybrid models, and looking up at the U8 and the Mengshi 917 itself is very large, of which the curb weight of the Mengshi 917 is as high as 3130kg, plus the vehicle is in a state of power loss, the engine bears most of the power output, the two extended range power models are 1057L 100km and 12The fuel consumption data of 33L 100km ranks in the last two places.
Compared with the best-selling extended-range power models, the fuel consumption of the ideal L7 and the ideal L9 is 8 respectively88L 100km and 892L 100km, there is only a dark blue S7 extended range version of a range extender car with a loss of electricity fuel consumption within 7L 100km.
The formula that has attracted more attention recently, Leopard Leopard 5, has a loss of fuel consumption of only 7 in this winter test41L 100km, in sixth place. In such a harsh test environment, we can only test the fuel consumption of less than 8L 100km, and how high the accuracy of the fuel consumption level of 18L 100km must be in our hearts.
In addition, the top three hybrid models have not yet announced the top three fuel consumption of hybrid models, but it can be known from the list of models participating in the testThe top three will be the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, the BYD Song PLUS DM-i and the Geely Galaxy L6.
Once, Li Xiang, the founder of Li Auto, said that car companies that insist on multi-gear PHEVs will switch to the range-extender technology route in the next one or two years, and even directly mentioned Great Wall and Geely, but then they were ruthlessly refuted by the executives of the two car companies.
Judging from the results of the winter test of the car emperor, at least at the data level of power loss and fuel consumption, it is still necessary for car companies that insist on multi-gear PHEVs to persist.
However, when Chedi announced the test results of the winter test, it caused public doubts from some manufacturers.
First of all, Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, CEO of Device BG, and Chairman of Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU, directly replied, "The test of the pit people!".
Judging from AITO Auto's response, AITO Auto questioned that this test seriously violated the user's real usage scenario: the vehicle underwent a total of 71 minutes of air conditioning and heating before the official test, and there were more than ten times in the process of opening and closing doors and windows, of which the longest time was more than 3 minutes, which greatly increased the energy consumption of air conditioning.
Secondly, Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Great Wall Motor and Geely Holding Group, also raised his own doubts on social platforms.
Great Wall Motors directly announced that three days later, it will have a communication meeting with the car emperor to question the standardYang Xueliang said that he retrieved the background data and found that the Geely Galaxy L6 and Lynk & Co 08 models under the Geely Group had an idle speed of about 70 minutes and several long times of opening the door for a long time before the test.
There is no response to the long-term idling, air conditioning heating and long-term door opening before the test, but only that the test standards are completely unified and all models are treated equally.
It is no longer news that new energy vehicles have poor winter range, and car companies have been trying to improve the solid range of pure electric vehicles and use new technologies to reduce the fuel consumption of hybrid models.
Xiaotong believes that large automobile manufacturers are not worried about the bad test data, they are more concerned about whether the test environment is suitable for the consumer's car environment, and whether the standard of the comparison test is unified. The original intention of the winter test is to provide a more accurate reference for consumers who want to buy new energy vehicles, but if the winter test is contrary to the real car environment and the test standards of each vehicle are not uniform, then these data will not have much meaning.
Now, the addition of three bigwigs has made the discussion of this endurance test more intense. Of course, the controversy is not over yet, and perhaps there will be a more accurate conclusion after the end of Great Wall Motor's standard questioning communication meeting.
