AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/30 Report--

Yesterday, CCTV reported that new energy vehicle owners are more concerned about the travel of new energy vehicles during the Spring Festival travel period, as well as the infiltration of charging piles in second-and third-tier cities. Compared with previous years, the infrastructure of new energy vehicles has been relatively perfect, and charging piles can be found nearby in many places.

In the Yangtze River Delta region, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other surrounding areas, it has also basically achieved full coverage of charging pile towns. a car owner in Nanjing returning to Liyang Daitou Town in Nantong learned that a charging station had been installed in the town and drove back to his hometown for the first time in three years. The State Grid has connected more than 1 million charging piles across the country, and relevant officials said that the charging peak of new energy vehicles on the State Grid this year appeared ahead of schedule, with a maximum daily charge of 1.4 million kilowatts during the Spring Festival this year, double the electricity consumption of the same period last year, which means that the number of new energy vehicles is increasing significantly. According to the State Grid, there may be charging queues on several highways during the Spring Festival travel season. Therefore, mobile charging cars will be temporarily increased, and during the Spring Festival travel period, the peak charging loads of travel and return will be determined in real time, the travel guide of new energy vehicles will be updated, and owners will be intelligently guided to travel off-peak charging.

In addition to the national grid, a number of electric car manufacturers have also built their own charging networks. According to Tesla's latest financial report, Tesla has built 1000 super charging stations, 700 destination charging stations, 8000 super charging piles and 1800 destination charging piles in 360 cities and regions across the country. Yesterday, Tesla announced the addition of 6 super charging stations and 36 super charging piles.

Xiaopeng has also set up 14 supercharging stations on the nearly 2000-kilometer Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. On average, one Xiaopeng is overcharged every 170 kilometers. Xilai Motor has also released arrangements for changing electricity during the Spring Festival. From January 28 to February 8, all on-line high-speed power stations will operate normally, and the high-speed service area will provide 24-hour service from 7 to 24 hours. However, a small number of power stations in the non-service area will close the night shift according to the actual demand.

These charging facilities can meet daily use, but there is nothing they can do when Spring Festival travel owners travel together. after all, gasoline cars also need to queue up in the service area, while new energy vehicles take longer to recharge. it is natural to queue up in front of the charging pile, according to a video sent out by netizens, the longest owner waiting in front of a charging pile for nearly two hours. Some car owners reported driving an electric car 700 kilometers home, queuing up for four hours in the high-speed service area and charging five times for 700 kilometers.

For the above-mentioned difficult charging problems during the Spring Festival travel period, the customer service of new energy vehicle manufacturers responded respectively. Tesla customer service responded that it is now the rush hour, if you meet a lot of people to recharge, this really needs to wait, there is no other solution for the time being, and stressed that fuel trucks also need to queue up to the gas station. The ideal car customer service says that the ideal car has three modes: pure electric, pure oil and gas-electric hybrid. If you run a long distance, you can use gas-electric mixture, and use oil to generate electricity to increase mileage. NIO said that according to the data of the current power station change in the past few days, it is believed that it can withstand this peak pressure, with a maximum of 13 batteries per change station, and overcharging piles are also equipped at the NIO change station, saying that charging cars are also arranged in most service areas. Car owners are advised to make a reservation before departure, and the charging car waits in the service area in advance.

At present, car owners who buy electric cars generally buy green brand new energy vehicles to commute to work because the city where they are located restricts the licensing of gasoline cars. This is the scene of most new energy vehicle owners focused on urban roads, less on the highway, and relatively cheap to use. However, it will be more troublesome to run high-speed and long-distance on holidays. First, the number of charging needs to be more, and second, even if you enter the charging station in the service area, it may be due to less use of some old phenomena, and when there are many people on holidays, it's a little worse for new energy vehicles. A charging station in a high-speed service area in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, queued for more than 2 hours many times during the Spring Festival transportation this year. In a group of 150 returning car owners, many car owners in the group called on the owners of the same route to choose the station carefully.

From the point of view of sales, new energy vehicles have just shown a substantial increase, but they have not yet reached the degree of popularity. With the substantial increase of new energy vehicles, the pressure will further increase. Pure electric vehicles are the general trend of energy policy. The improvement of vehicle battery technology and the construction of charging equipment have a long way to go.
