After entering 2020, the first batch of new energy vehicles "retirement tide" is coming. For car owners who just need an electric car, battery life is everything. They will verbally hang some numbers, 300,450,500-meaning cruising range. The longer the battery life, the higher the price and how far it can go. Five years ago, the battery life of new energy vehicles was generally less than 200km. As the "first crab eaters", what embarrassing experiences did the first owners have? Today we invited two old owners of new energy vehicles. Let's hear what they have to say!
Yu Xiansheng, the owner: The moment when you are caught off guard! When I drove to Pavo, I dragged the tram into the basement with an oil truck.
"In winter, I suddenly fell asleep at the door of my basement while driving. If the vehicle shows the remaining 20% driving range, it is not the case of battery life. Take a short distance of 200 meters and directly reduce it by 5%. Even if the destination is in sight, it can only stop. I can only drive my tanker out and drag the tram back to the basement to charge. " Yu Xiansheng, the owner of the car, told us about a sleeping experience when he was driving the first generation of new energy vehicles.
Five years ago, Yu Xiansheng moved to a new house with a basement. "At that time, Tianjin's policy was to install charging piles for families with new energy vehicles free of charge. Just at that time, I also wanted to buy a car, so I spent 65,000 yuan to open the latest JAC iEV4, bought a cheap tram to occupy the pit, and picked up my wife's children as mice. " Yu Xiansheng, 37, lives in Tianjin. He is engaged in the research and development of IT software. He has a fuel car Honda Civic and a JAC iEV4 that has been driving for five years.
Yu Xiansheng's car experience is the epitome of the first generation of new energy car owners. Short battery life is the biggest pain point. "JAC iEV4 officially promotes a battery life of 200 kilometers. I dare not turn on the warm air in winter and the air conditioner in summer. Even so, it can run up to 90- 100km, and the battery life is 50% off. The tram has the same power as the mobile phone. It was specially disabled at first, but with the long use time, the battery loss was large and it soon fell off. "
Yu Xiansheng JAC iEV4 accumulated 68385km.
In the past five years, Yu Xiansheng has encountered many problems brought by original products, such as sudden flameout caused by disconnecting the battery, unsmooth start and so on.
"This car always disconnects the battery by itself. Just two days ago, I stopped in the basement to scan the license plate. As soon as I stepped on the brakes, the car died and I had to restart. If it stalls at high speed, it will be too dangerous. " Last year, the problem was that Mr. Wang was discovered, but it was not detected by 4S stores, so it has not been solved.
"When the car starts, there is no buffer. It thumped as soon as it stepped on it, and the feeling of "rushing forward", especially when it passed the speed bump, was really unbearable. This is not the problem of the car itself, but it is the case when car companies build cars. The technology of the first generation of new energy vehicles is not good enough. "
Low car cost is the biggest reason why Yu Xiansheng can't bear to give up iEV4. Yu Xiansheng will keep the data of electric vehicles in mind. He calculated an account: "The electricity fee for the community is 49 cents, and the charging pile is 5 1 cent. Without ladders, the average day is 50km. A year 1000 or so is still very cheap. "
Mr. Shen, the owner: all my life! One steering wheel failed and one brake failed. "I can't stand it for a moment."
2065438+February 2006, Mr. Shen, the owner of the vehicle, was assigned new energy indicators. "At that time, it was not as tight as it is now, so you can buy it directly. At that time, neighbors had bought JAC's car, and the response was very good. " Under the influence of his neighbors, Mr. Shen founded JAC iEV4.
Now Mr. Shen's car has been used for 4 years and has traveled more than 60 thousand kilometers. The low cruising range is also his biggest pain point. "Beijing's weather in April, running the Sixth Ring Road, no traffic jams and traffic lights, going back and forth *** 100km, using 75% of the electricity, ran to Pavo, 120- 130km."
In the past four years, Mr. Shen was deeply saddened by the experience of being robbed twice, steering wheel failure and brake failure.
"When the electronic power steering wheel is turned on, it will fail. I can't twist it. I will try my best to go to the side of the road and restart it. "
But the other time was not so lucky. "I was at the intersection of the underground garage of the mall, and a car came from the other direction. I quickly stepped on the brakes. There were a lot of people in the car at that time, and I didn't stop. I hit the car opposite. "
After the accident, Mr. Shen paid special attention to the road conditions and tried to brake in advance in an emergency. "The road is slippery on rainy days. When you step on the brakes, it will ring in the end, and the brakes will easily fail. It is not as good as the braking effect of the tanker. Jianghuai 4S store attributed all the minor problems of the car to normal, and it was normal that the brakes could not stop? I don't think this is normal.
"At that time, compared with the cruising range that the car actually ran down, the official cruising range was highly consistent, which Jianghuai did very well. When I bought a car, the standard was 140km. Basically, I could actually run to 140km. After four years of use, the cruising range is basically not attenuated. "
Teacher Shen's work is related to new energy vehicles, and he is very optimistic about the prospects of new energy vehicles. "Four years ago, people were hesitant to buy new energy vehicles. There are many factors to consider and some prejudices. Now, I bought a tram without hesitation. There are a wide range of choices and more streets. "
The two car owners interviewed today are family men in their forties, and the economy of car use is the first important factor in their hearts.
Yu Xiansheng likes electric cars, especially Tesla. The one with wings is cool, but he doesn't think it's worthwhile. "Those are toys bought by rich people." He said that he was used to driving electric cars in Tianjin. Although he still has a fuel car at home, he still has a lot of free time.
A phenomenon that may not be coincidental is that when asked "Why did you choose Jianghuai Automobile", both car owners gave a helpless wry smile and gave the same answer, "Because it was cheap, there was no other choice at that time." This is also the voice of the original owner, and changing a car with a higher cruising range has been put on the agenda.
But there are still some facts that make car owners feel gratified.
Generally speaking, the use cost of electric vehicles is lower than that of gasoline vehicles, and even lower than that of public transportation in some cases. Car owners will also comfort themselves and use electric cars to make a little contribution to environmental protection.
