Behind the claimed long range, how far can new energy vehicles actually run?
Behind the claimed long range, how far can new energy vehicles actually run? There is often a gap between the claimed long range of a new energy vehicle and its actual driving range, a phenomenon that has become a focus of concern for both the industry and consumers. In practice, low temperatures, high speeds, and frequent starts and stops can significantly accelerate power consumption. Low temperatures in winter will reduce battery activity, resulting in weaker energy storage and discharge capacity, and the range of some models may shrink to about half of the nominal value under severe cold conditions. Switching on air-conditioning and other on-board electrical appliances in summer will also increase energy consumption, further compressing the actual range. Aggressive driving behaviours such as rapid acceleration and hard braking can dramatically increase instantaneous power consumption, while carrying a full load of passengers or cargo can increase the vehicle...
