The electric vehicle challenge around Qinghai Lake is the highest-level electric vehicle race in the world and the first centralized tour platform for new energy vehicles in China. The 5th Electric Vehicle Challenge around Qinghai Lake was launched on April 19, and the rally started from the cities where the participating manufacturers were located on June1-June 20, and the five routes were assembled in Xining.
This competition is mainly divided into performance evaluation competition and evaluation competition around the lake. The organizing committee of the competition is divided into groups according to vehicle types, and Zotye T300 EV is in SUV A0 group. On the morning of June 25th, the participating cars arrived at the performance evaluation competition to participate in four evaluations: acceleration performance, braking performance, handling performance and wading ability. In order to ensure the accuracy of evaluation, the fairness and safety of the competition, the acceleration, braking and control are all driven by official professional drivers on the dry and flat asphalt pavement with a slope of no more than 1%. In the evaluation of acceleration performance, T300 EV is equipped with a motor with a peak power of 95KW and a ternary lithium battery with a peak torque of 260n·m, which is full of power and performs well in the evaluation of acceleration time of 0-60km/h and 0-100 km/h. In the evaluation of braking performance, T300 EV has obvious braking feeling, stable driving direction and full sense of security during driving. In the evaluation of handling performance, the T300 EV steering wheel operates sensitively and accurately, the road information is transmitted clearly, the wheel sensing and steering system is also agile, and the T300 EV is equipped with the front McPherson independent suspension/rear torsion beam dependent suspension system, which is durable and practical, and the T300EV gracefully and accurately bypasses the obstacle pile. In the wading performance evaluation, T300 EV passed the depth evaluation of 20cm pool without any modification.
On June 26th, the launching ceremony of the challenge around the lake was held in Qinghai Grand Theatre Square. After the launching ceremony, Mo Huilan, the world gymnastics champion, started the T300 EV Lake Race. On the first day of the competition, * * * has four stages, ending at Chaka Salt Lake and passing through Daotang River, Erlang Jianhe River and Heima River. The travel distances of the four stages are 10 1 km, 50 km, 67.5 km and 72.4 km respectively, which is about 300 km. On the first day of the competition, the participating cars were evaluated from five aspects: endurance, space design, fast charging ability, technology configuration and comfort configuration. In the endurance evaluation in plateau environment, T300 EV achieved excellent results of 307km. In the space design evaluation, the length, width and height of T300 EV reach 4405mm, 1830mm, 1665mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2610 mm. The body size is the same as that of a car, and the interior space is also "large". In the fast charging ability evaluation, T300 EV has a space of 823 l. In the evaluation of technology configuration and comfort configuration, T300 EV's comfort, voice interaction system, panoramic reversing image system, blind spot monitoring system and other technology configurations have been well received.
On June 27th, entering the second race day, the participating cars were required to evaluate the climbing ability, mute effect and appearance design in the fifth and sixth stages. The fifth stage is the most challenging stage in this competition. The climbing stage is 800 meters long and the average altitude is about 3800 meters. At the climbing stage, the elevation is increased by 34m, and the slope is increased from 5% to 16%. The road section is dominated by mountain roads, with bad road conditions and changeable climate. T300 EV steering wheel is sensitive in operation and agile in wheel feel, and has passed the test with excellent performance. After a short rest, the sixth stage was started to evaluate the mute effect and design of the participating cars. T300 EV has achieved good results.
On June 28th, the evaluation competition around the lake ushered in the last two stages to evaluate the energy-saving ability and interior design of the participating cars. The T300 EV is full of fashion, technology and quality with leather-like technology, brand-new knob shifting and piano paint panel decoration.
In the 5th Electric Vehicle Challenge around Qinghai Lake, Zotye T300 EV traveled 690km at an altitude of 2000-4120m, and won the Best Braking Distance Award, the Best Wading Challenge Award, the Best Interior Design Award, the Best Comfortable Configuration Award, the Best Quiet Effect Award, the Best Space Design Award and the Organizing Committee's Recommendation Award * * 7 for its excellent racing performance and outstanding performance. Although it is the first time to participate in the competition, Zotye T300 EV is well-deserved, and all the honors it won in the challenge are the results of its years of hard work and exploration.
