It’s all tears, there’s so much to worry about driving an electric car.

1 Climate change has a large difference in battery life

The cruising range of an electric car can be regarded as a pain in the hearts of all car owners. Even if it is already an old driver in the battlefield, it can not avoid the trouble of mileage anxiety. But have you ever thought that sometimes mileage anxiety is not the fault of the car? So today I will talk to you about the things that affect the cruising range of electric vehicles.

Great difference in climate change

It can be said that the change of outside temperature is one of the biggest tests for the life of electric vehicles. Whether it is cold or hot summer days, the cruising range of electric vehicles will be reduced.

Low temperature has an effect on the charge and discharge of lithium ion batteries. The electrolyte will become viscous or even condense at low temperatures, greatly affecting the activity of lithium ions.

As a result, the charging is slow, the charging is not full, and the discharge is also the same. In this kind of increase, the most intuitive feeling brought to the user is that the cruising range is reduced.

2 Air conditioning, are you using it?

Undoubtedly, air conditioners have an impact on traditional power or new energy vehicles. Unlike "burning oil", new energy vehicles cannot achieve real-time "replenishment." For this reason, air conditioners are both extravagant and tasteless for new energy owners. So, is the air conditioner just a display? No, no. It can be done, but it must be done properly.

As the second largest power consuming device for electric vehicles, the use of air conditioners usually has a greater impact on vehicle life. A smart little friend might think, I don't have to use the air conditioner to open the window. Summer is okay, if in the winter, the sky is full of snow, you open the window, you are sure that others will see, will not call you to arrest? just kidding.

In fact, if you do not open the air-conditioning driving window, it is good in the urban low-speed section. When the speed exceeds 60km/h, the energy lost by the vehicle to overcome the air resistance will be far greater than the energy consumed by the air conditioner. Do you know the truth? Your tears fall. So, the air conditioner is still open!

The author also has a small idea. Everyone knows that electric vehicles will shrink their mileage in winter. The reason is nothing more than the two factors of climate and warm air. Since the climate can't be changed. The author has an idea on the warm air. In fact, the electric car can be equipped with the seat heating configuration. Especially for the users in the north, the seat heating can replace the warm air effect to a certain extent, and the seat heating is the mileage for the battery life. The impact must be less than the warm air, which not only ensures the temperature, but also makes the vehicle run farther.

3 tire pressure, have you checked?

The effect of tire pressure on cruising range is often overlooked. For example: everyone has been riding a bicycle. When the bicycle is in a loss, it is even more difficult. The reason is simple: the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the road surface is increased, the friction force is also increased, and it is necessary to spend more external force to continue moving forward.

New energy vehicles are also a good reason. When the tire pressure is insufficient, the motor will consume more power to overcome the greater resistance, so the power consumption will increase, which shows the importance of tire pressure on electric vehicles.

Some people may ask, will I run farther if I push the tire pressure higher? This is not the case, as long as the car owner often pays attention to the tire pressure, it can be maintained within the standard range. Everything has two sides. Excessive tire pressure has the risk of puncture. Too low tire pressure will increase tire wear.

4 Do you have these driving habits?

Not hot car: I have only heard of a gasoline car hot car, is it also necessary for an electric car? That's right, this hot car doesn't let you stay in place, but avoids rapid acceleration within a few minutes of starting the car, because the coolant needs a gradual warming process to ensure that the battery is working properly. The heated battery will run faster than the "cold" battery. On the contrary, if you don't "hot car", the icy battery will consume a lot of electrodes and the battery life will be reduced by 10%-15% after driving violently.

Flying Party: Due to the characteristics of electric vehicles, low-speed torque is generally greater than that of gasoline vehicles, so electric vehicles start very quickly, and some owners will frequently accelerate and brake suddenly. The figure is fast, and the vehicle consumes more energy. It also affects the life of the motor.

Frequent starting brakes: This is the same as the gasoline lane. The gasoline car is frequently braked when it is in a congested section, and the fuel consumption is also very large. The same is true for electric vehicles. Repeating this action will cause the motor current to rise frequently, which is several times that of normal operation, so it will consume a considerable amount of electricity. According to the data, if the congestion section can be recycled, it can save 10% of the cruising range. If your vehicle has kinetic energy recovery, remember to open it when you are in a congested section.

Summary of the article

To sum up, there are quite a few factors that affect the cruising range of electric vehicles. They all say that electric vehicles are not reliable, their cruising range is short, and electric vehicle owners are "power saving experts." But when I look back, I think there is also a place where I have not done it.

Although there are many reasons for affecting the cruising range of new energy vehicles, including many uncontrollable factors, you can obtain the maximum cruising range by strictly demanding yourself in the self-controllable range.
