AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/23 Report--

Although electric vehicles are favored by the industry and show rapid growth at the sales level, electric vehicles do not bring more convenience to users, but cause more complaints from users due to various problems and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the core reason why electric vehicles are not accepted is that the first is that the range is too short, and the second is that the charging time is too long, which leads to serious "mileage anxiety" when users really use them, and these factors will not appear on mature fuel vehicles.

Recently, the new car-making force "net red" enterprise Wei Lai car has been repeatedly questioned by users and netizens, CEO Li Bin even severely criticized the behavior as "malicious smear, public opinion ridicule". At the same time, in the face of some questioned facts, how does Wei Lai solve them? i believe everyone is looking forward to it.

Recently, Wei Lai officially gave a "power saving secret script" to teach the majority of ES8 owners how to open a full battery life of 280-350 kilometers. According to official data, the maximum cruising range of the car is 500 kilometers, and the comprehensive working range is 355 kilometers.

To sum up, there are mainly the following points:

1. Stay farther away from the car in front (expect to reduce braking times)

2. Accelerate and decelerate as gently as possible (do not drive hard)

3. It's best not to use cruise control.

Do not drive faster than 120

5. The more blocked, the more electricity is saved, and the slower the energy consumption, the lower the energy consumption.

6. Mountain roads reduce speed, use 19-inch wheels to travel, etc.

The rest is easier to understand."Don't use cruise control." Isn't that crazy? If you spend more than 500,000 yuan to buy a high-end intelligent electric car, what configuration is complete, finally the manufacturer recommends that you do not use cruise control, to some extent, how can this be justified?

NIO also suggests that users should not drive more than 120km/h, not only for safety and regulatory restrictions, but also for high speed and high power consumption, which is a common problem of electric vehicles at present. The internal technical engineers of NIO Automobile have carried out actual measurement, which proves that under the condition of full power and setting constant temperature air conditioner at 24 ℃, ES8 can only drive 226km at a constant speed of 120km/h, which is indeed much lower than the nominal endurance.

In addition, we all know that electric cars in the cold winter, the endurance is even worse.

NIO officials have also given countermeasures, releasing an article entitled "ES8 Winter Range and Suggestions for Use."

Wei Lai believes that there are three main reasons for the large increase in winter power consumption and the decline in battery life. First, air conditioning heating consumes a lot of power; secondly, battery self-heating consumes power during start-up; and thirdly, when the battery temperature is low, the available battery energy will also decrease slightly. Among them, air-conditioning heating is the most influential factor.

Wei Lai gives the following suggestions to the majority of ES8 owners:

- Set the appropriate air conditioning temperature, too high a temperature setting will significantly increase power consumption

Avoid frequent acceleration.

- Reduced use of sport mode

- When the temperature outside the vehicle allows, it is recommended to turn on/off the interior air conditioner intermittently as appropriate, and use seat heating and steering wheel heating to significantly reduce heating power consumption.

For winter temperatures are low, most drivers will be more uncomfortable without heating, and to electric car owners, this situation turns on air conditioning heating has become a luxury thing, owners can only helplessly accept. Perhaps, as Wei Lai said, intermittent on-off air conditioning, or seat heating and steering wheel heating, at least the range won't be so bad.

In fact, some problems and methods will also occur in traditional fuel vehicles, but the technology and use of fuel vehicles are very mature and not worth mentioning. The biggest problem with electric vehicles is "range anxiety", which has a short battery life and a long charging time, which greatly limits the user's use scenarios.

Take Wei Lai, for example, the majority of ES8 users really need to understand and learn more driving skills and methods in order to efficiently drive as much range as possible, such as not turning on cruise control, try not to turn on air conditioning warm air, etc.

Therefore, netizens also popular "electric father" this saying, even some netizens said: "buy a car is used, not when the ancestors provide."
