What is the maximum range of a pure electric vehicle?
2 Answers
The maximum range of a pure electric vehicle is 180 to 200 kilometers, with varying effects depending on road conditions. The advantages and disadvantages of pure electric vehicles are as follows: 1. Environmental protection: Electric vehicles are powered by battery packs and electric motors, which do not produce exhaust gases or emit tailpipe pollution during operation, making them highly beneficial for environmental protection and air cleanliness—almost "zero pollution." 2. Low noise: Electric vehicles do not generate noise like conventional vehicles, and the noise they produce is almost negligible. 3. Economical: The operating cost of electric vehicles is low, only about one-fifth that of gasoline-powered vehicles. They also have high energy conversion efficiency and can recover energy during braking and downhill driving, improving energy utilization efficiency. Charging can be done at night using the grid's cheap "off-peak electricity," helping to balance peak and off-peak grid loads. 4. Long charging time: Normal charging typically takes around 8 hours, while fast charging still requires 1-2 hours.
From my experience with the range of pure electric vehicles, to be honest, the highest can now reach over 800 kilometers. For example, the Lucid Air Dream Edition was officially tested at 837 kilometers, but in actual driving, it might drop to around 700 due to significant environmental temperature changes, as low temperatures reduce battery performance. Personally, I often test drive new models and find that once the speed exceeds 80 km/h, wind resistance increases sharply, and power consumption accelerates alarmingly. I must also remind everyone not to focus solely on the maximum number. In daily use, with air conditioning, audio systems, and other factors, it's normal for the range to decrease by 100 to 200 kilometers. In terms of technological advancements, the energy density of ternary lithium batteries is improving. New models like the NIO ET7 have already surpassed 600 kilometers, and it's expected that within five years, mainstream vehicles will reach 700 kilometers, making long-distance travel more reassuring. When buying a car, it's advisable to prioritize high-range models to avoid the hassle of frequent charging.
