What is the range of the Zhidou D1 in kilometers?
2 Answers
Zhidou D1 has a range of 180 kilometers. The range of pure electric vehicles is affected by many factors, such as temperature, tire pressure, wind direction, and whether the air conditioning is turned on. Pure electric vehicles do not have an engine, so the air conditioning system of such cars relies entirely on electricity. Turning on the air conditioning while driving will reduce the vehicle's range. Low temperatures in winter can also affect battery performance. The Zhidou D1's exterior largely continues the design of the previous Zotye Zhidou model, featuring a front face with a dense perforated grille and two black triangular air vents on both sides. The Zhidou D1 is equipped with rear parking sensors, a GPS car navigation system, a smart remote key, Bluetooth, and USB ports.
I used to drive a Zhidou D1, and I felt its range was quite good, generally between 150 to 200 kilometers, which is the official figure. However, in actual use, especially during urban commuting, with the air conditioning on or driving on highways, it might drop to around 140 kilometers. Although the car is small, the battery performance is quite stable. A full charge can last for about two days, and charging is very convenient—just a few hours using a household socket. Of course, the range depends on how you drive. I usually drive gently, avoiding hard acceleration, which helps save a lot of power. In winter, when temperatures drop, battery efficiency decreases. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and maintaining proper charging and discharging habits to extend battery life. Overall, for daily short trips, this car is hassle-free and cost-effective, saving on fuel costs and reducing emissions.
