What is the actual range of the XPeng G3i?
2 Answers
The actual range of the XPeng G3i is 250 kilometers. Introduction to electric vehicle range: The range of an electric vehicle refers to the distance it can travel on a full charge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions mean maintaining a constant speed and driving on a flat, straight road without any slopes. Methods to improve range: Charge reasonably. Typically, electric vehicles are charged at night, with an average charging time of about 8 hours. This ensures reasonable charging and avoids harmful charging practices. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking. During driving, it is best to avoid sudden acceleration and braking. If you frequently accelerate or brake suddenly in a short period, it will suddenly increase the load on the battery, which not only consumes more power but also significantly reduces the lifespan of the electric vehicle. The correct way to operate is to pedal for a short distance first to ensure the vehicle has reached a certain speed before engaging the electric drive. This can effectively avoid the issue. Maintain a stable speed. Many riders tend to vary their speed frequently, failing to keep the electric vehicle at a steady pace. Such operation causes significant wear and tear on the vehicle. Maintaining a constant speed is the best driving practice.
I've been commuting with the XPENG G3i for a year, and I feel there's still a difference between the actual range and the official data. Mine is the 520 version, which can run about 400 kilometers in summer with the air conditioning on. If the speed is kept below 100 km/h on the highway, the range is more reliable. However, in winter with the heater on, the range shrinks a bit, especially in sub-zero temperatures, when it might only run 360 kilometers. Regarding charging, I usually charge it up to 90%, which lasts about eight to nine days for my daily 30-kilometer commute. The battery health now shows 98%, which doesn't affect the range much. It mainly depends on driving habits and road conditions. Using the energy-saving mode and anticipating road conditions to brake less can add over ten kilometers to the range.
