How many kilometers can a new energy vehicle run?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles can run between 100Km and 600Km. The range of a new energy vehicle is mainly determined by the battery capacity configured for the vehicle. Factors such as motor efficiency, drag coefficient, and energy recovery also have some impact on the range. Below is an introduction to various types of new energy vehicles: 1. Electric vehicles: A full charge can only allow them to run about 100-200 kilometers, with long charging times, low power, and slow speed, making them suitable only for short-distance use such as sightseeing in industrial areas or urban commuting. In winter, the battery discharges slowly and less. Low-end electric vehicles face issues like future licensing management, while high-end pure electric vehicles are costly. Problems such as air conditioning cooling in summer and heating in winter are difficult to solve. 2. Hybrid vehicles: They suffer from issues like a simple structure of the oil engine, low power, small driving force, slow speed, and high failure rates.
I've been driving a new energy vehicle for several years, and I think how far it can go really depends on the car and how you drive it. The standard range is usually around 300 to 500 kilometers. For example, my XPeng P5 has a claimed range of 520 km, but in actual city commuting with traffic jams, it's only about 450 km. Surprisingly, it's more energy-efficient on highways—maintaining 120 km/h is quite stable. Winter is a big challenge because using the heater can drop the range to 350 km, so I always preheat the battery in advance. Charging habits are also crucial: a slow home charge overnight fills it up, while a fast charge to 80% in 30 minutes is enough for half a day's trip. As the car ages, the battery degrades; after five years, the capacity can drop by 10-15%. It's perfectly fine for daily commuting, but long trips require careful planning of charging stops. Nowadays, new models are pushing ranges even higher—the BYD Seal exceeds 600 km, making them increasingly hassle-free to use.
