AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/29 Report--

On August 28, at the 2022 Chengdu Auto Show, more than 10 car owners wearing "SAIC Feifan serious false sign" white T-shirts stood at the Feifan auto booth to protect their rights, attracting market attention.

Car owner representative Mr. Tan said in an interview with the media that they were the first owners of Feifan ER6 to pick up their cars in December 2021. Feifan ER6 Smart Edition and Zhixing version officially advertise that the NEDC pure electric mileage is 620km, but now the actual mileage is more than 300km, almost a 50% discount.

At the same time, a video circulated on the Internet shows that a convoy of Feifan ER6 is defending its rights on the street. The side and rear of these Feifan ER6 are posted with rights signs that read "serious false signs for the range of SAIC Feifan cars." most of these car owners are wearing white T-shirts, and the clothes are also printed with the words "serious false signs for the range of SAIC Feifan cars." In the video picture, the road sign shows "South second Section of Tianfu Avenue", which is very close to the "International Expo City in Western China" where the Chengdu auto show is held. According to the videos exposed at the Chengdu auto show, the costumes of these rights car owners are basically the same.

With regard to the issue of the range of Feifan ER6, Mr. Tan said that there are three demands: 1, the range of 620km advertised by manufacturers is not in line with the reality, and manufacturers need to pay corresponding compensation; 2, to raise the warranty of 300000 km in 8 years to 500000 km in 8 years; and 3, to further reduce the cost of daily maintenance.

In response to the problems reflected by car owners, Jiang Yi, director of Feifan Automobile Public Relations, said in an interview with the media: "before this happened, we already had special personnel to deal with this matter." Our products are in line with the NEDC pure electric mileage, if the car owners feel that they have not reached it, we can send someone to carry out the test together, and if the car owners do not believe us, they can also find a third party to carry out the identification test, but at present, the car owner refuses the test, so it is very difficult for us now. "

In addition, Jiang Yi also said that Feifan's attitude towards this matter is very positive, and we also hope that these car owners will be able to do a test. As for the three requests put forward by Mr. Tan and the car owners, they cannot be satisfied for the time being. The prerequisite for satisfaction is that they need to go through a third-party testing agency to identify that there is indeed an error in the range of voyage before they can do start-up related compensation measures.

The predecessor of Feifan Automobile is SAIC R, and SAIC R belongs to SAIC Roewe's independent new energy brand. On May 10, 2020, SAIC Roewe held the brand launch event of "Roewe New National Tide", officially announced the launch of the "double standard" strategy of "R standard" and "new lion standard", and released a number of new cars. SAIC Roewe said that the new R standard will become the exclusive symbol of the high-end new energy models, and the planned models under the R standard include the flagship MARVEL series and the car ER series. On July 24, 2020, R Automobile was unveiled at Chengdu Auto Show with its models R ER6 and MARVEL R. On August 13, 2020, R ER6, a subsidiary of R Automobile, was officially listed with a price of 16.28-200800 yuan after comprehensive subsidy. On February 7, 2021, MARVEL R, a subsidiary of R Automobile, was officially listed with a subsidised price range of 21.98-239800 yuan.

On October 29, 2021, SAIC officially announced that the original R brand of SAIC passenger car Branch will officially carry out market-oriented operation in the way of an independent company, which is called "Feifan Automobile" in Chinese. In the future, Feifan Automobile will focus on 200000 to 400000 yuan of middle and high-end new energy intelligent products, and Zhiji Automobile will jointly assume the important task of SAIC Group's breakthrough in the high-end electric intelligence new track. As SAIC R becomes Feifan independently, the original ER6 and MARVEL R models have also been changed to Feifan ER6 and Feifan MARVEL R. At the 2022 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area Auto Show, the Feifan R7 was officially unveiled. The new car is the first model launched after Feifan Automobile is independent. It is positioned as a medium and large pure electric SUV, which supports power exchange and is scheduled to be delivered in the second half of the year.

As for whether there is a false mark on the Feifan ER6, we can't draw a conclusion for the time being. after all, there is a certain relationship between mileage and daily driving habits. At the same time, the official NRDC comprehensive mileage is announced by the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new energy vehicle in the pure electric mode only depends on the amount of electricity in the battery to support the maximum mileage of the vehicle, the domestic data is defined by NEDC (New European Driving Cycle, New European driving cycle Test, referred to as NEDC), which is a relatively ideal performance, which is different from the actual situation.

In addition, "understand car Emperor" has also conducted batch tests on the summer range of new energy vehicles, in which Feifan ER6 achieves a success rate of 73.3%, the official NEDC comprehensive mileage is 620km, the actual mileage is 454.4km, and the comprehensive average energy consumption of 100 kilometers is 14.4kwh.

With the popularity of new energy vehicles, battery life has become one of the most important indicators for consumers to buy electric vehicles, and consumers are becoming more and more sensitive to mileage. For this incident, we will continue to pay attention!
