Recently, Weibo big V "@小胡说车" released a ** about "Leopard 5 fuel consumption" that attracted attention. **, "Xiao Hu Che" tested the fuel consumption of a BYD Han EV at 100 kilometers on the high-speed section, saying that it reached an astonishing 18L 100km. Many netizens questioned the accuracy of the test method, expressing suspicion that it was not the real fuel consumption.
In response to the doubts, BYD Auto's official Weibo issued a statement saying: "We are concerned about the fuel consumption test ** of BYD Han EV released by Xiaohushuo Che, and question the authenticity of its test methods and data conclusions, and at the same time have given feedback to relevant platforms and asked it to withdraw the **."
Xiaohu said that the car also issued a statement in response: "Regarding the fuel consumption test of BYD Han EV**, it is just an ordinary test, without any preset conclusions and tendencies, and there is no other interest appeal." We hope to provide consumers with a reference for car purchase by comparing the actual fuel consumption of different models. The BYD Han EV we tested was calculated by dividing the amount of fuel by the mileage and multiplying it by 100 when driving at a constant speed of 120 km h on the main road of Beijing's Fifth Ring Road. This data is an objective fact, and there is no false propaganda or malicious smear. ”
Although "Xiao Hu Che" emphasized that it did not have a preset conclusion and guidance, its choice of test location, test method and final conclusion were obviously unfavorable to BYD. As a self-leading car with a certain influence, Xiaohu said that the car "should be evaluated more objectively and fairly, rather than providing misleading information to consumers through one-sided testing."
In fact, there is a common set of methods and standards for testing vehicle fuel consumption in the industry. Generally speaking, the fuel consumption test will be carried out in a special laboratory to avoid the influence of external factors on the test results. When tested, the vehicle is driven at a constant speed and road conditions to produce more accurate data. In addition, to ensure fairness and comparability, multiple vehicles of different makes and models are often tested for testing.
And the test of the "little nonsense car" obviously does not meet these specifications. He tests on highways, where conditions are very different from city roads, so the resulting data is not representative of the vehicle's real fuel consumption in everyday use. In addition, he only selected one model for testing, and there were no other vehicles to compare, so the fairness and accuracy of his conclusions are questionable.
As for the "nonsense car" response that it did not have a preset conclusion and guidance, industry experts disagreed. They believe that the "little nonsense car" clearly pointed out that the fuel consumption of the BYD Han EV reached 18L per 100 kilometers, and used this as evidence that the model was "unreliable", which is obviously a preset conclusion and guidance. And the conclusions drawn by conducting fuel consumption tests without expertise and equipment are also inaccurate. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
