What Does the Range of New Energy Vehicles Mean?
2 Answers
New energy vehicle range refers to the sustainable driving distance. Factors affecting range: Objectively speaking, factors such as the battery, vehicle weight, aerodynamic drag, and temperature of new energy vehicles can affect the range. Subjectively, complex road conditions like rough roads, traffic congestion, and driving techniques can also impact the range of new energy vehicles. New energy vehicle range: Structural reasons. Pure electric vehicles are significantly different from traditional fuel vehicles because their power source is the battery, and most are equipped with a single-speed transmission, which is a fixed gear ratio. The drawback of a single-speed transmission is that it cannot cover a wider speed range like multi-speed transmissions. During high-speed driving, the fixed gear ratio is larger, which increases energy consumption and consequently reduces the range.
The range of a new energy vehicle refers to how far it can travel on a single charge. For example, the kilometer reading displayed on the dashboard of my pure electric vehicle when fully charged represents its range capability. From my daily commuting experience, this is absolutely crucial because it determines how often I need to find a charging station, whether driving in the city or on long trips. In cold weather, the range drops significantly faster, and using the air conditioning consumes even more power, so it's advisable for owners to develop the habit of monitoring battery levels. The actual range is often less than the manufacturer's stated figure, mainly influenced by driving habits such as aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving, which waste more energy. Regular battery health checks can also help extend its lifespan.
