What is the power consumption per 100 kilometers for pure electric vehicles?
2 Answers
Different models of pure electric vehicles have varying power consumption. Taking the Tesla Model 3 as an example, its power consumption per 100 kilometers is 12.6KW. Advantages of electric vehicles: They do not emit harmful gases that pollute the atmosphere. Even when the power consumption is converted into emissions from power plants, pollutants other than sulfur and particulates are significantly reduced. Since most power plants are located far from densely populated cities, the harm to humans is minimized. Additionally, electricity can be generated from various primary energy sources such as coal, nuclear power, and hydro power, alleviating concerns about the depletion of petroleum resources. Requirements for pure electric vehicles: According to regulations from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, starting from 2016, passenger vehicle manufacturers must provide an 8-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty for core components such as batteries and motors, which is sufficient to meet the needs of ordinary household vehicles.
When I first switched to driving a pure electric car, I paid special attention to the power consumption on the dashboard. For regular sedans, it typically ranges between 14 to 20 kWh per 100 kilometers, while SUVs consume more, around 18 to 25 kWh. However, these figures are measured under smooth city driving conditions. It's truly heartbreaking to see the power consumption spike every time you're stuck in traffic or waiting at a red light. The air conditioning has a significant impact on power consumption, especially in summer when running the AC at full blast can add up to 3 kWh. Recently, I've also figured out a trick: preheating the battery using a mobile app in winter can save a lot of power. I recommend that beginners pay attention to charging times to avoid waste. Driving an electric car really requires getting used to checking the power consumption meter, just as naturally as checking the fuel gauge in the past.
