According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, by the end of 2023, the number of new energy vehicles in the country will reach 20.41 million, accounting for 607%。In 2023, 7.43 million new energy vehicles will be newly registered, a year-on-year increase of 3876%。Liu Bixiang, who works in Guangdong, bought a new energy vehicle last year, and let's take a look at his return home for the Spring Festival in a "new" car.
Liu Bixiang's hometown is in Yongchuan, Chongqing, and seeing the rain and snow in many places in the past few days, he specially brought two large bags of food when he set off. At eight o'clock in the evening, the family set out on the journey home.
Starting from Qingyuan, Guangdong, Liu Bixiang plans to settle down in Yongzhou, Hunan Province to rest in the evening.
Liu Bixiang's previous car was also a new energy vehicle, and this year is the third year that he has driven a new energy vehicle to return to his hometown during the Spring Festival. In the first two years, out of concern about the battery life and charging of new energy vehicles, he would do a lot of planning before departure, including which way to go, charging in **, and even planning to eat in **. And this year, he feels a lot more relaxed.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, there was a light rain in the sky, and after driving about 200 kilometers, Liu Bixiang's family came to the Yangshan North Service Area. As the temperature drops, so does the battery life. And here, there are more than 200 kilometers away from the rest hotel.
There are a total of 14 charging guns in this service area, and there are many charging guns, but there are many cars, so you need to wait in line. Considering that there may still be queues in the next service area, Liu Bixiang still chose to charge in the Yangshan North service area. After about 10 minutes, he waited for a chance to recharge.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Liu Bixiang arrived in Yongzhou, Hunan. At this time, he found that the northbound route would encounter freezing rain and heavy snow, so he decided to take a detour to Guiyang and play for a day before returning to Chongqing.
On this journey from Yongzhou to Guiyang, Liu Bixiang chose to charge at high speed, reducing the waiting time. In the evening, the family arrived in Guiyang, and after a short food trip, they headed to their final destination, Chongqing, the next afternoon. Finally, 55 hours after departing from Guangdong, the family returned to their hometown. Liu Bi said that this year's return to the hometown is a blessing that there is no freezing rain and heavy snow, and no matter how tired the road is, as long as you get home, it is worth it.
Liu Bixiang, owner of a new energy vehicle: After two or three days of long-distance self-driving, although I am tired, I see a familiar family and eat a familiar taste, everything is worth it. I wish all the riders who are about to return to their hometowns or are already on the road a smooth and safe journey, and go home for a happy New Year!
