Who thinks you need 2000 kilometers of super long battery life?

Pure trams talk about service life, that’s right.

But the problem is, now in the industry about mixing and extended range of the “ultra-long-range wind” has a growing trend.

The latest comprehensive flight records have reached 2500 kilometers.

The most recent example is that at the 2024 Xiaopeng AI Technology Day on November 6 he Xiaopeng Chairman of Xiaopeng Automobile and CEO presented five major technologies such as extended range technology.

Of course, the most interesting topic is the extended-range technology.

This time Xiaopeng completely “stopped installing” and released the Kunpeng super electric system.

The effect is just like’s sketch: “you with big eyes and thick eyebrows, how come you have also defected!” In the hybrid part, the platform adopts hybrid silicon carbide coaxial electric drive system and full-platform 800V technology, and the pure electric mileage reaches 430km.

Combined with other forms of energy, the overall mileage is up to 1400km.

It is difficult to say whether the “big battery, small fuel tank” can be realized.

In terms of the pure electric mileage of 430km and the extended range of 1400 km, it is a microcosm of the ultra-long range of the “roll” in the industry.

Xiaopeng is not the first and will not be the last but in the final analysis does ultra-long range have any substantial significance in promoting sales of hybrid models? Or is it just a question of “your mother thinks you’re cold”? After all, no one wants to be caught in a strange circle in which technology is out of proportion to sales.

Who cares about the long voyage? Let’s first study the dispute over the battery life of this hybrid model which is often more than 2000 kilometers.

do consumers care? For fuel trucks and plug-in hybrid cars, there are gas stations everywhere, so what’s the point of having an ultra-long range? The latest statistics by the end of 2023 show that there are a total of 121300 gas stations nationwide.

As a plug-in model, usually the car can be recharged, long-distance travel can be refueled, since it can be refueled, why do the major car companies pursue the ultimate battery life of plug-in hybrid models? Moreover, the plug-in car with a large battery and a large 70L fuel tank does not seem to be conducive to the lightweight of the car itself.

Some people in the industry believe that the original intention of always talking about this data is to cover up the disadvantage that the pure electricity mileage is not long enough.

In the final analysis, it is more cost-effective to drive plug-in hybrid cars in pure electric mode, including plug-in extended range cars.

One data is that in the user camp of plug-in hybrid cars, more than 80% of car owners actually use their vehicles as pure electric vehicles, and a tank of fuel often lasts for more than half a year.

In addition, during the holidays, it is also very illustrative to tell the owners of extra-distance cars in the service area to grab the charging piles.

In actual car life, 2000 km range for hybrid car consumers is not the core factor that determines consumers’ willingness to buy, but just plays the role of “icing on the cake”.

For car companies, driving range of more than 2000 kilometers is not the key to solve users’ pain points, but more of a marketing tool.

At present, although the hybrid routes, technical applications and platform architecture of different automobile companies are different, the optimization and promotion of hybrid technology is mainly power transmission path optimization, vehicle working condition optimization, and breakthrough engine thermal efficiency, motor efficiency, battery energy density and so on.

In the final analysis the plug-in hybrid is due to the lack of mileage of pure electric vehicles and depends on fuel-powered vehicles.

In other words, the current mixing and extended range is enough and easy to use, so is it necessary to be so “extreme”? Moreover, who will bear the “marginal cost” of this part of the long range? The so-called fuel consumption has entered the “2L” era, which is the victory of marketing and the struggle for the right to speak.

However, this is not the essence of technology, not a concern for consumers.

Consumers pay more attention to wallets and how to save money, but they can’t pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.

In the past six months, almost all Chinese car companies that are interested in plug-in and extended-range technology like to regard long-range driving as a unique feature of their products.

Among them, some people often drive a live broadcast to verify whether their car can run to the theoretical value.

Under this operation, announced in front of consumers, the range can reach thousands of kilometers, or nearly 2000 kilometers, there are also many people.

Even if the car companies that do not use this extreme test to prove the advantages of their products change their direction their enthusiasm for the 100-kilometer fuel consumption test is so high.

In addition, there is an arms race against the “thermal efficiency” of engines, which also occurs one after another.

But in the final analysis, the ultimate squeeze of a certain data is based on the needs of consumers.

Or is it just what the car companies need for their own communication? Hybrid, also “roll” battery life, in fact, with regard to the hot issue of “hybrid 2000 km range” since March, I once wrote “hybrid 2000 km range, obsession and secret warfare”, and the conclusion is “diminishing marginal benefits”.

Behind it is the game between car companies and the obsession of car companies.

Hybrid technology can be powered by oil and electricity, which makes car companies find a new feeling in challenging the limit of battery life.

However, from the perspective of the car scenario, the consideration of mileage anxiety by pure electric models has practical significance.

In addition, under the actual situation, the general integrated mileage of mixed models is about 1400 kilometers.

Now it is easy to run 2000 kilometers, and most of the time, it is based on the uniform speed of 50-60 kilometers like the “fuel-saving race”.

Who would drive like this for ordinary consumers? Right.

An interesting phenomenon is that when car companies are struggling with ultra-long comprehensive range, they seldom talk seriously about pure electric mileage, but slowly increase pure electric range from 120 km to 200 km in private.

In other words, it’s a bit obscure.

At present, the progress of technology can not beat the “mouth” of car company marketing.

Compared with carefully retouched marketing skills, various prefix restrictions and ultra-high battery life records achieved under various self-serving operating conditions, as netizens strongly suggest, “solving the false standard of pure electric battery life” may be the core.

This is also the meaning of what netizens said in my article “mixed 2000 km range, obsession and dark warfare” that “making pure electricity real to 1000 km is king.

” After all, technology has to serve consumers, and technology needs to return to the real car experience.

In fact the success of marketing does not represent the maturity of technology.

For example, the problem of rapid decay of batteries in extended-range vehicles has recently been exposed.

The reason for this on the one hand is that some car companies prefer to use low-capacity power battery packs to reduce costs and use some technical means to reduce the fuel consumption of the hybrid mode.

However, this setting will only bring potential costs to car owners, such asHigh charging frequency and the impact of too high charging frequency on the service life of the power battery pack.

, Therefore, how to solve the problem of hybrid battery life also forces new solutions to emerge.

For example, Ningde Times launched Xiaoyao sodium-ion batteries with a pure battery life of more than 400 kilometers.

In addition, the charging efficiency cannot reach the 4C supercharging performance of “charging for 10 minutes and replenishing energy exceeding 280 kilometers”.

, , , , just, there is one detail that needs to be explored.

For any new energy vehicle, generally speaking, the weight of the power battery per kilowatt hour is about 5-8 kilograms.

Assuming 10 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers, this means that the battery weight increases by 50 – 80 kilograms for 100 kilometers of pure electric battery life.

, pure electric battery life is 200 kilometers, and the battery weight increases by 100 – 160 kilograms.

This will further affect the vehicle’s energy consumption level and driving experience.

, For consumers, long-lasting vehicles usually mean higher manufacturing costs.

A larger power battery capacity will further increase the weight of the vehicle.

Plug-in hybrid models mainly use the function of “being able to drive purely electric” to reduce vehicle costs to a certain extent, and use electric driving to assist vehicles in reducing fuel consumption.

The key point is to “reduce use costs.

” If the cost is higher, then what is the significance? Therefore, for car companies, as the saying goes,”Instead of excessively worrying about battery life numbers, it is better to effectively solve the problem of false standards for pure electric battery life and win the hearts of consumers with real and reliable data.

” You can’t just use marketing rhetoric, or car companies think you need a long battery life.

, , only by providing consumers with a sufficiently guaranteed car experience and effectively improving consumers ‘car convenience and car economy is the real truth.

Otherwise, car companies blindly pursue long battery life, and they can easily fall into the strange circle where technology is not proportional to sales.
