What is the real range of the Aion Y80?
2 Answers
The real range of the Aion Y80 is approximately 320-350km. Factors affecting the range and the standards are as follows: Factors affecting the range: The vehicle's range is influenced by multiple factors, such as battery high and low temperature technology, optimization of battery BMS technology, upgrades to the vehicle's energy recovery system, lightweight body design, and energy-saving technology of hardware equipment. Additionally, external driving conditions, air resistance coefficient, mechanical transmission efficiency, vehicle mass, and the number of passengers can all affect the actual range of an electric vehicle. Electric vehicle range standards: Currently, domestic electric vehicle manufacturers commonly adopt the NEDC standard and the WLTC standard. Since the NEDC standard is too idealized, future manufacturers will use the WLTC standard to calibrate the range, which is more meaningful as a reference.
The official claimed range for the Aion Y80 is around 510 kilometers, but real-world driving depends on actual conditions. After driving it for several months with a mix of city and highway driving, the actual range with air conditioning on is about 450 kilometers. In purely congested urban conditions at lower speeds, it can get close to 480 kilometers, while on highways at speeds above 120 km/h, it drops to just over 400 kilometers. The battery is an NCM lithium-ion type, with range decreasing by about 10% in cold winter conditions, and similar reduction when using air conditioning in summer. Driving habits play a significant role—aggressive acceleration and braking consume more power. New owners are advised not to rely too much on advertised figures and to conduct more real-world tests. Personally, I find it quite reliable, with one weekly charge sufficient for daily commuting.
