AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/28 Report--

NIO once said that we can go wherever the tanker can go. Founder Li Bin once said that Xilai provides a service that is more convenient to power up than to refuel. "wherever gasoline cars can go in China today, Ulai can support our ES8." This sentence not only caused heated discussion on the Internet, but also many ES8 owners actually drove to challenge Xizang, Xinjiang and Northeast China, where long distances are complex and charging conditions are limited, and diesel vehicles are often needed to help recharge. Some netizens think that this is a challenge to human intelligence, which is a joke.

Recently, the picture of climbers waiting in a long line to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma has attracted the attention of netizens, and the news is that the death toll caused by the "heavy traffic jam" on Mount Qomolangma has risen to 11. On the other hand, the news is that the owners of Xilai have come to challenge Mount Qomolangma again.

Some netizens revealed that on Xizang's Qomolangma Road, ES8 and its power supply team are carrying out power replenishment or maintenance operations by the roadside, while the plus tram is the Iveco diesel car provided by the one-click power-up service of NIO.

According to the pictures taken by netizens, there should be two Lvlai ES8 to challenge the trip to Everest, and at least two Iveco diesel cars to "accompany" to routinely recharge the car. The blue painting of Iveco diesel cars is the iconic element of the official Lulai tram.

As far as we know, diesel vehicles are equipped with additional generators, which can generate electricity continuously after adding diesel fuel, which can be used as a supply of electricity on the way of NIO electric vehicles. It means that the "running" diesel vehicles themselves need not only diesel fuel, but also need to consume additional fuel to recharge the ES8, so that ES8 can continue to challenge places without any charging conditions.

Many netizens called it superfluous that it would be easier to drive a diesel car as portable battery was running with an electric car. Some netizens even pointed out that this has run counter to the concept of environmentally friendly and low-carbon electric vehicles.

The challenge courage of the NIO car owner is certainly commendable, but the use of such a paranoid way has attracted many netizens' doubts. It is worth mentioning that the courage of the owners of the car comes from the official promise that "we can go wherever the oil truck can go". It has also made publicity in this regard as the highlight of their brand promotion.

In September 2018, dozens of car owners finally arrived in Urumqi, Xinjiang from Guangzhou. The journey of 8000km was provided by Wei to provide power-up services. "Isuzu fuel scooter" became the biggest contributor to the journey, running back and forth between the charging pile and the owner.

In February this year, when the owner was travelling northeastward, NIO also sent diesel vehicles to generate electricity. According to the owner, due to the limitations of the electric car, the ES8 has to add electricity every 150km or so, and the diesel generator consumes about 25 litres of diesel per hour. Coupled with the fuel consumption of Iveco itself, it is finally calculated that NIO needs to consume 35 ~ 40 litres of diesel for every 100km, and two staff members are needed to accompany it.

In March, a car owner of Fulai appeared on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line. Netizens' pictures showed the car charging by the side of the road. The generator car was also Iveco diesel. The car owner was complained crazily by netizens, and then responded on Weibo that he once owned a Mercedes-Benz and BMW, then sold the car and chose to come, and was teased by people who didn't know about the car or used it to be a fool and a water army. It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy.

A Weibo Big V once said, "this is the question of IQ, whether it's the people who do it or the people who publicize it." If you run more than 200 kilometers, you need to stop and recharge. Netizens also think that this is a waste of resources. What else is there besides torturing the younger brother?

Both the behavior of car owners and the actions of Wei Lai have been criticized by the outside world, but from the point of view of them or some car owners, it seems to be an honor. Netizens pointed out, "if you charge a tram with an oil car, how do you think new energy is a test of consumers'IQ?"

In any case, since car owners have such a need, NIO will have to pay for their promises.

Lailai, a heavily invested Chinese start-up that describes itself as a competitor to Tesla, had delivered 16710 electric cars by the end of April. What is most questioned by the outside world is that NIO spends most of its energy on marketing services, but there are more problems in the quality of vehicles. Including earlier system crash, power failure, short range, fire spontaneous combustion and so on.

As to whether this practice is environmentally friendly, Shen Fei, vice president of NIO, thinks it is very environmentally friendly. Shen Fei said that the power-up of diesel vehicles is an effective measure in the pile-free area, and it is very environmentally friendly for more users who occasionally come to the pile-free area to eliminate their anxiety and choose electric vehicles.
