Zhong Shi observed the joys and sorrows of driving an electric car

If you want to know the taste of plums, you must taste them yourself. If you want to know how an electric car feels, you have to drive it yourself. If you want to know whether electric cars can become a climate, go to the countryside and run far away. Usually, the social ecology of electric vehicles will have an impact on their market survival.

Wen Hao Ott is driving? Zhong Shi

As soon as the Guangzhou International Auto Show was over, I deliberately set aside a week to borrow a pure electric AION from GAC Aian. LX(80D？ L2.5) Four-wheel drive experience.

All the way to Guangdong, I specially invited Kunming old drivers and Shanghai Land Rover Range Rover owners to experience this brand-new four-wheel drive version launched in March this year. After the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, who drove thousands of kilometers to western Guangdong? AION？ LX rear-drive version, and then look forward to the four-wheel drive version.

GAC New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. has just been renamed GAC Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. to highlight the brand effect of AION and let it operate independently. AION brand is positioned as "high-end intelligent pure electric vehicle brand" by GAC, and its car series is listed as medium-sized car Aion? S-class and A-class SUVs AION? The latest compact SUV AION? Y. This time, you just need to experience the AION, which is dubbed the luxury intelligent super-running SUV? LX, climb high and look far, and you can see everything.

Self-owned brand car companies have successfully sprinted to become high-end or even luxury brands in the era of fuel vehicles, and the red flag has improved slightly; However, switching to a new runway with electric vehicles seems to have seen the dawn again. A bunch of new cars are powerful, and a group of old car companies are also struggling. GAC New Energy Vehicle Plate has always been considered as one of the best in the industry.

Thousands of kilometers of test drive, using technical terms (online search) need not be repeated, you would rather use images to describe: Land Rover Range Rover owners are excited about the driving experience all the way, and the final evaluation is that they never want to buy a fuel car again. He did not expect that his own brand of high-end electric vehicles with less than 300,000 yuan could achieve such performance and quality.

Indeed, self-owned brand car companies have seized the opportunity in the domestic electric vehicle market, and launched more models from low-end to high-end, which has seized the runway for joint venture car companies in the future.

Car companies can only be immune at best. If they build a good car, they will be worthy of the users, and they can't manage the social supporting facilities; The success or failure of electric vehicles in the market, 1/3 in products, 1/3 in supporting policies, 1/3 in supporting charging facilities in society.

Take this opportunity to go to AION? LX test drive, deliberately did not do a good driving strategy in advance, roughly framed in the direction of eastern Guangdong, walking casually, completely as an ordinary user to experience the "social ecology" of electric vehicles. Guangdong is one of the richest provinces in China, and also has the reputation of "Detroit in the East". The construction level of charging facilities in China should be considered good. Unexpectedly, we are still surprised every day when we are driving an electric car. It can be said that you won't know until you open it.

Let friends in the same trade pick up the car and charge it slowly overnight. After leaving Guangzhou, the estimated mileage of the car is 530 kilometers. Cross Shenzhen with confidence, come to Xiaoguixin Wharf in the west corner of Daya Bay, stop and change to the private speedboat of the owner of the fishing raft, and go to the fishing raft on a desert island in the sea. Shenzhen friends greeted them with seafood, and then sent them back to Beijing to Huizhou South Station.

I thought that Shuangyue Bay between Daya Bay and Hongwan along the coast of Huizhou seemed to be famous, so I went straight to the port town at the end of Shuangyue Bay. The temperature is high during the day, and the air conditioner is on all the way. It is estimated that nearly 80 kilometers of electricity was lost during the day. I was anxious when I saw that the car still had 88 kilometers of electricity, but I calmly watched the complete sunset process at sea on the offshore platform on the west side of Shuangyue Bay, and then I was anxious to ask about the charging pile. Download the "special call" APP to see that the nearest charging pile is 48 kilometers away. Finally, he stopped a local electric car driver and asked that there was a charging pile in the seaside hot spring tourist resort 13 km away.

When I arrived there at night, I found that the hotel had a special parking lot and eight charging piles. All these are rubbish piles. Call customer service and tell the front desk that it has been broken for several days and no one has come to repair it. There are still dozens of kilometers of electricity in the middle of the night, so I dare not search for piles everywhere. When I come, I will live in a bubble.

The next day, the user APP of the car-seeking company seems to have reached two fast piles near 10 km by navigation. I did see a bunch of strange people standing outside the security room at the gate of a residential area, asking for the results. The new fence here was opened the year before last, and the piles have been stopped for a long time. This property will be demolished soon. Seeing that the mileage of electricity is less than 30 kilometers, if you can't find a living pile after tossing, the electric car will "die in the street".

Various apps are not very reliable. I heard from the kind security guard that there seems to be a pile in Tianhou Palace Community in xunliao bay a few kilometers away. When I drove by, there was a vacant spot in the roadside parking lot, with six piles. I quickly pulled out the gun plug and charged it. I didn't know that "e-charge" is slow charge until I saw the electric meter head and the electric gun head. Grasping straw can save lives. Charging slowly is better than nothing.

Looking around, I learned that xunliao bay is a seaside resort, and I checked the real-time charging timer of the APP from time to time. The first time I realized that the slow charging method was really slow, so I decided to find an inn next to the charging pile and live near the electricity. At night, the APP shows the charging power supply full of 150 yuan, and actively withdraws the car from the electric pile, for fear that an electric car similar to "internal emergency" will "squat".

The next morning, I was curious to see that all the parking spaces of electric piles were occupied by fuel trucks overnight. When I returned to Beijing a week later, I saw that Beijing News and Beijing Evening News were both reporting on Beijing's "grand competition for hegemony". It seems that the charging position of fuel vehicles is a common problem in China at present.

I've had enough time at Huidong seaside and want to go to the mountains. It is known that there is Nankun Mountain National Forest Park, which is known as "Summer Paradise in the South" and "Back Garden of the Pearl River Delta" 200 kilometers away from the northern end of Huizhou. This time, I have a long mind, and I am still in a hurry to find a charging pile in town. Be sure to discharge enough electricity before entering the mountain, because the closer to the mountain, the less charging facilities.

Pay attention to check whether there is a charging pile at the rest stop of the expressway. It's nice to see a station with two fast charging piles. After dragging an electric plug gun with a heavy cable into the hole, the electricity meter showed that the electricity was not charged. I communicated with the customer service and said that it might be a bad contact with the stigma. I tried to hold the heavy gun from multiple angles, without close contact with the socket. I was lucky enough to change another pile immediately.

After coming down from Nankun Mountain, I went straight to Shunde. At night, the remaining power is not enough 100 km, so just stay in the valley and visit delicious restaurants. Before noon the next day, I went out to look for electricity nearby, charged and navigated to the parking area outside the gate of a hotel according to the map of Gaode. The only two fast charging piles were occupied by the wedding motorcade, so I looked for other sites to leave. The kind security guard waved me away, and when a car left the pile, I finally charged it quickly to ensure that there was enough electricity at the return point to Guangzhou in the afternoon.

Through a week's test drive, I fully realized that the use of electric vehicles is still full of worries. The mileage anxiety of electric vehicles is inappropriate, AION? The total mileage of LX fully charged is nearly 600 kilometers, and the total mileage accounts for a large proportion of fuel vehicles. What is worrying is actually the problem of charging piles: first, the distribution radius is the density, second, the integrity rate of piles, and third, the effectiveness of real-time data of charging apps of independent operators, power grids and car companies.

The charging usability challenge of running long-distance scenes with electric vehicles is much higher than that of using scenes in fixed areas, which forces remote users to have the wisdom of commanders, not only to know the supply points along the way, but also to know the inventory of each supply point. A thousand days at home is good, but it is difficult to go out; Car electric, don't travel far!
