Some people want to say that the car with cruising range 1000km has not been built yet, but it is not far away. Judging from the recent development of Weilai, the first pure electric vehicle ET7 is already on the road. In addition to the 70/ 100kWh version, there will be a 150kWh model with a cruising range of 1000. The last one to reach this number is Tesla's Roadster and the Semi truck that plans to reach this number through battery upgrade. Now Wei Lai has brought it. After the price of Tesla Model Y was less than 340,000, Weilai became the second new energy brand to detonate the rim, once again bringing the eyes of netizens here.
As we all know, there are two ways to improve the cruising range. One is to speed up the charging. But with the current technology, even the industry leader can only achieve half an hour of fast charging/overcharging, and there is still time for slow charging. Another way is to increase the battery capacity, thus improving the cruising range. Weilai also provided the idea of changing electricity, which is another method, but there are more restrictions, such as ensuring that the battery size of all models is the same, which is somewhat difficult to achieve. Unless all car companies standardize and modularize their batteries and make charging stations change power stations as many as gas stations, the charging process will be simplified, car use will be more convenient and the purchase rate will be greatly improved.
To put it bluntly, it depends on the price. If the price is reasonable, the cruising range must be as long as possible, but things are rare. At present, the price of Weilai's long-range electric vehicle is more than 500,000, because the published price of 70kWh and 100kWh models before subsidy is 448,000 and 506,000 respectively, and the price of such products with a battery life exceeding 1000km is on the high side. There are many people who want to buy, but most of them can't afford it.
Moreover, the reasons that restrict more people from buying electric vehicles are not only the cruising range, but also the service life and cost of batteries, the performance of new energy vehicles, the degree of safety and convenience, the distribution of infrastructure such as charging piles, maintenance costs and time costs, all of which should be taken into account. The solution of mileage anxiety only relieves a big problem, and there are various small problems that need to be solved urgently. These are all unavoidable problems for new energy vehicles in the early stage of development.
