AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/29 Report--

Spring Festival travel is the peak for car owners to drive home for the Spring Festival, and with the further popularization of new energy vehicles, the issue of new energy peak travel has naturally become the focus of social attention. A few years ago, there were widespread mileage anxiety, long charging time and few charging outlets in new energy vehicles, which greatly affected the experience of new energy vehicles. So, as the penetration rate of new energy vehicles and new car sales is close to 14%, CCTV has conducted a visit report on this topic.

According to CCTV, according to the daily charging trend of expressways on January 29, the maximum daily charging capacity during the Spring Festival this year is expected to reach about 1.4 million kilowatt hours, nearly double that of the same period last year. The doubling of charge means a substantial increase in the number of new energy vehicles running on the highway. The high-speed charging pile is provided by the national network, with the further improvement of the platform and the charging network characteristics of new energy vehicles, it can be seamlessly incorporated into the management system of the State Grid, real-time analysis and prediction of high-speed power consumption through big data. During the Spring Festival travel season, there may be charging queues in some service areas of several highways. Shi Shuanglong, director of the Operation and Monitoring Center of the National Grid Electric vehicle Service Company, told reporters that the peak of new energy vehicles on the highway during the Spring Festival this year has appeared, much earlier than last year.

According to the situation in previous years, new energy vehicles are in their infancy, whether vehicles or related infrastructure construction is in progress, so the travel of new energy vehicles in the past peak travel will encounter a lot of embarrassing things. To this end, at this time of year, traffic police around the country will also remind owners of new energy vehicles to make arrangements for off-peak travel ahead of time. For example, on January 19, 2020, the traffic police in Qingyuan, Guangdong reminded car owners that a number of new energy vehicles broke down on the Xu-Guang highway, resulting in road congestion and aggravating the traffic pressure of the Spring Festival transportation. For this reason, the local traffic police specially woke up car owners to be fully charged and fully replenished before going out, and found electricity on the way, and insufficient fuel should drive off the highway as soon as possible to find charging piles, but it can be thought that some car owners at that time were still at a risky stage for new energy travel. In addition, even if you arrive at the destination smoothly, whether there are enough charging piles in the local area is one of the lessons that need to be done in advance.

With the improvement of the construction of related charging facilities, the problems of the number and coverage of charging piles have been significantly improved earlier. According to a Nanjing car owner interviewed by CCTV, this is the first time he has dared to drive an electric car back to his hometown Liyang in Changzhou for the Spring Festival since he bought a new energy car for the first time. As a result, he found that there are DC fast charging piles in front of his home, which can be charged to 60% in half an hour. According to the automotive industry, it is focused on navigation software query. The distance between the two places is 106 kilometers, and if it is fully charged before departure, there will be little pressure on most of the electric cars currently on the market.

On the other hand, with the increase of the number of new energy vehicles, the number of charging piles will also increase. In the CCTV program, the relevant person in charge of the national network introduced to the reporter the details of a charging station in Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. By 11:00 at noon, one of the charging piles had completed the charging of 25 cars, and according to the big data platform of the national network, there may be queues for charging piles at service stations in many places. One interviewed car owner also said that there was no need to avoid queuing and specially charge at high speed. But sometimes the charging time is not as long as the queue time. To this end, the national network said that the greater demand for the use of service stations equipped with mobile charging cars, a mobile charging car can be charged for six cars, in order to ease the charging pressure.

In the group of car friends, some car owners also shared the video of the discharge and charging of the Xilai charging station. The latest charging station uses replacement technology, which takes much less time than charging, but because the storage capacity of the replacement station is limited, it is no different from an ordinary charging station when the battery is changed. I believe that with the improvement of battery technology, recharging and other technologies, I believe these problems will be solved one by one.

According to the latest retail data released by the Federation of passengers, the retail volume of domestic narrow passenger cars in 2021 was 20.146 million, an increase of 4.4 percent over the same period last year, of which 2.989 million were new energy passenger vehicles, an increase of 169.1 percent over the same period last year. According to the annual sales list of new energy vehicle companies, the top three car companies are BYD Automobile, SAIC GM Wuling and Tesla China, with sales of 584020, 431130 and 320743 respectively. Xiaopeng, NIO and ideal all have more than 90, 000 vehicles.
