When the oil price entered the "9 yuan" era, these ultra-long battery life pure electric vehicles were bought for fun!
[EV Vision Multi-vehicle Shopping Guide] In recent days, international crude oil prices have skyrocketed, and domestic refined oil prices have risen for six consecutive years, entering the "9 yuan era". The next round of refined oil price was carried out last week, and analysts pointed out that No.95 gasoline will come to the "9 yuan" era in an all-round way.
The National Development and Reform Commission announced: Last week, international oil prices surged and fell. On average, the oil prices in Brent, London and WTI, new york increased by 13.32% compared with the previous price adjustment cycle. Affected by this, the domestic retail prices of gasoline and diesel have increased accordingly. Affected by the epidemic situation, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and other global crisis situations, global inflation prices and oil prices have reached unprecedented highs. The cost of fuel vehicles has greatly increased. Are new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, more fragrant?
Mileage anxiety, charging queues, discounts on battery life in winter, and fear of turning on air conditioners in winter, etc. When faced with these problems, most car owners are definitely "buzzing". With the rapid development of electric vehicles, many models are equipped with large battery packs with long battery life. Today, the cost of fuel vehicles has greatly increased. It is really time to consider a pure electric vehicle with long battery life, saving money and no mileage anxiety. Come and see the following models!
ARCFOX polar fox alpha s cross-border style is spiritual.
Features: Magna teamed up to build, with large space and rich intelligent configuration.
Price: 251,900-344,900 yuan
Cruising range: 708km(708S+)
In recent years, CROSSOVER style has become popular, and more and more SUVs have begun to adopt slip-back design, and the style has gradually become a car/sports car. Consumers have long been accustomed to it, and even turned from disgust to real fragrance.
When I first saw Alpha S, the polar fox, I felt a little edema, turned around and changed my mind. It was fat but not greasy, with simple and elegant lines and a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. After reading it for a long time, I found that its design is spiritual, and I was attracted by its temperament in a trance.
The Alpha S in the front of the car is highly similar to the Alpha T, especially the divergent shape of the "X" ray on the front face highlights the DNA language of the ARCFOX polar fox brand, which gives people a momentum for vehicles to break through.
The side of the car body has a more sense of design, full of cross-border flavor, compatible with the directors of cars, station wagons and SUVs, and the practicality of the face value has been well integrated. What can’t be ignored is its handsome multi-frame wheel hub with sharp lines and aesthetic feeling, and the high-end taste is reflected in these details. The door handle has a hidden design, which is already the standard for high-end pure electric vehicles.
The body size of Alfa S is 4930mm/1940mm/1599mm, and the wheelbase is 2915mm. The body of the polar fox Alpha S is 104mm higher than that of the Han EV, and the wheelbase is 40mm longer than that of the 2875mm Tesla Model 3. The higher body and longer wheelbase make the driving space of the Extreme Fox Alpha S very spacious, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a "mobile sofa".
The tail of the Alfa S is very heavy, and you can fully appreciate the "height" of this car when standing at the rear. The taillight adopts the left and right through design, and the two ends are sharp arrow shapes, which adds a bit of sporty temperament to it.
Extreme Fox Alpha S has a small ass, adopts the popular through taillights, and the bottom design is very similar to the front of the car. For consumers with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this coordination is still very healing.
The ordinary version of the Extreme Fox Alpha S has four models, with the price range of 25.19-344,900 yuan, and there are three endurance versions of 525km, 603km and 708km. Suppose you have a budget of 300,000 yuan now, and pay special attention to quality, detail and practicality, but don’t need strong dynamic performance. For friends, the price of 281,900 yuan is a good choice.
Weilai family: Our family has more than 100kWh battery packs.
Features: fashionable and avant-garde design, strong technology configuration.
Price: 328,000-624,000 yuan
Cruising range: 500km-1000km
First of all, let’s talk about Weilai, which is equipped with the most battery models above 100kWh.
At NIO Day 2021 last year, the ET5, the second pure electric car of Weilai, was officially released and pre-sold. The new car launched 75kWh and 100kWh models. The pre-sale price before subsidy is 328,000-386,000 yuan. In addition to fashionable and avant-garde design and strong technology configuration, it is also a highlight that ET5 can be equipped with a 150kWh battery pack. The characteristics of solid-state battery, such as high capacity density and small size, can make ET5 still have a beautiful posture of the car while ensuring long battery life.
In fact, it’s not just ET5. Now, the five models of Weilai, from ET5 to the earliest ES8, basically cover the mainstream high-end electric vehicle field. Moreover, with the current technical positioning of Weilai, all models can be equipped with 150kWh battery packs. After the option, the NEDC cruising range of ES6 and EC6 can exceed 900km, while the cruising range of ET5 and ET7 will exceed 1000km.
According to EV Vision, the long-awaited solid-state battery will meet with us in the fourth quarter of this year, but please rest assured that the price of 150kWh solid-state battery package is definitely not cheap. If you have a Weilai, or want to start with a Weilai, would you like to have a taste and be the first person to eat crabs?
Tesla: You have to use a big battery to run fast, but I’m so expensive!
Features: fast acceleration, strong assisted driving and many scientific and technological configurations.
Price: 88.999-1.05999 million yuan
Cruising range: 652km and 560km
After talking about Weilai, let’s take a look at Tesla, the "king of traffic" in the electric vehicle industry. In the current mass production of Tesla models. The 2021 Model S dual-motor all-wheel drive version with a price of 889,990 yuan and the 2021 Model X dual-motor all-wheel drive version with a price of 939,990 yuan are all equipped with 100kWh battery packs, and the NEDC cruising range is 652km and 560km respectively. The prices of these two cars are not cheap, but the power level of these two cars is very brutal, so it is impossible without a large-capacity battery pack under the super power level.
As far as we know, there are currently three battery suppliers for Tesla. The domestic battery suppliers for Model 3 and Model Y are LG Ski in South Korea and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited in China. The imported Model S and Model Y use battery packs provided by Panasonic of Japan. In order to further control the cost, Musk has previously admitted that Tesla is also considering developing its own power battery.
According to EV Vision, there is also news that Model 3 equipped with 100kWh will also enter the consumer’s field of vision. In my opinion, unlike Weilai’s smaller solid-state battery, Tesla pursues practical benefits in battery research, and cost control is what it values most at present.
Mercedes-Benz EQS is not to be outdone, more than 100kWh is not negotiable.
Features: stylish design and strong technology configuration.
Price: 1,079,600-1,518,600 yuan
Cruising range: 849km
In December last year, EQS, the new flagship model of EQ family of Mercedes-Benz, was officially launched. The new car has launched four models, and the sales price range is 1.0796-1.5186 million yuan. This new car can be said to be the first model based on ——EVA, a brand-new pure electric platform of Mercedes-Benz, which is essentially different from EQC and other "oil-to-electricity" models. At EQS, Mercedes-Benz presented the first battery pack with a capacity of over 100kWh, with a capacity of 111.8kWh and a comprehensive cruising range of CLTC of 849km.
Mercedes-Benz EQS incorporates the latest design elements of EQ family, and the overall appearance is full of movement, especially the slip-back design is somewhat similar to CLS models. The side of the car body adopts an arch design, the lines behind the B-pillar are full and smooth, and the length of the hood in the traditional sense is shortened, which makes the posture of the whole car move forward further. It is worth mentioning that the drag coefficient of EQS is as low as 0.20, making it the lowest production model in the world.
Mercedes-Benz has adopted a battery pack of 111.8kWh. The cruising range of EQS 450+ model can reach 813/849km under CLTC, and the official minimum power consumption per 100 km is only 14.2kWh/100km. The EQS 580 4MATIC model adopts the dual-motor architecture, and the maximum power of the system reaches 380kW, and the fastest acceleration time is 4.4s The power is not outstanding in electric vehicles at this price, but EQS pays more attention to the driving quality. It is worth mentioning that EQS 580 4MATIC curb weight is 2.7t, but the cruising range can reach 720km under CLTC working condition, which is considered to be relatively excellent in its class.
In the eyes of most people, the price of Mercedes-Benz EQS is still expensive, but you can’t deny that EQS is really a jaw-dropping product. Compared with the products before EQ series, it has a lot of innovation in all aspects, at least for consumers who want to buy luxury electric vehicles. It provides a better choice.
BMW iX Intelligent Emotional Technology knows you better.
Features: stylish design and rich intelligent configuration.
Price: 746,900-996,900 yuan
Maximum cruising range: 665km
BMW iX is BMW’s latest pure electric flagship model, and it is also the only one of BMW’s existing models with a battery pack of more than 100kWh. The guide price of the new car is 746,900-996,900 yuan. The new iX series combines the technological crystallization of BMW Group in innovative fields such as digital interconnection and electrification. Moreover, the three models of the family will bring the future luxury travel experience beyond electric to China consumers with minimalist design, Shy Tech stealth technology, innovative digital luxury, BMW electric driving interest and the concept of sustainability throughout.
According to official information, the BMW iX xDrive50 is driven by dual motors, with a maximum power of 385kW, equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack of 111.5kWh, and a comprehensive cruising range of CLTC of 665km. At present, the battery suppliers of BMW in China are Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Yiwei Lithium Energy.
Compared with Mercedes-Benz EQ series, BMW’s sales performance in the near future is still relatively excellent, and the appearance rate of iX3 is obviously higher than that of EQC of Mercedes-Benz, which has a wider consumer group. However, like the problems encountered by Mercedes-Benz EQS, many people still think that the price of BMW iX is on the high side. If there are some concessions in the later period, it is still worth considering.
Domestic car companies compete for every inch of land, so Zhiji, AION and Extreme Krypton can make a difference together.
In addition to the traffic ceilings of new forces such as Weilai and Tesla mentioned above, as well as luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, in fact, our domestic independent brands have never relaxed. For example, Zhiji Automobile of SAIC, AION of GAC and Kyo of Geely all have models equipped with large-capacity batteries, which set a good example for domestic car companies.
The luxury pure electric car with the combination of performance and comfort of Zhiji L7
Features: excellent performance, comfort and rich intelligent configuration.
Official price: 408,800 yuan
Maximum cruising range: 1000km
Zhiji L7 is positioned as a medium-sized and large-sized pure electric car. Its design and positioning are somewhat similar to Weilai’s ET7. The new car comes standard with a 93kWh battery pack, and the model equipped with a 115kWh battery pack will also meet with you soon.
It will be equipped with a high-performance all-wheel drive system. The maximum power of the motor is 400kW and the maximum torque is 700 N m. According to official news, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 3.9s s. In addition, the combination of front double wishbone+rear five-bar independent suspension, plus a two-way 12-degree rear wheel steering system, makes Zhiji L7 more flexible. In terms of battery life, the new car will be equipped with 93kWh battery as standard, with 115kWh battery. The world’s first silicon-doped lithium supplement technology can achieve a single energy density of 300Wh/kg and can support a battery life of nearly 1000km.
Zhiji Automobile, backed by SAIC, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba, has convincing hard power. It’s just that since the pre-sale of Shanghai Auto Show last year, Zhiji L7 has kept consumers waiting for too long. Fortunately, it will officially meet us in three months, so please wait patiently.
AION LX Plus intelligence, endurance and luxury
Features: Intelligent, comfortable and rich in configuration.
Subsidized price: 286,600-459,600 yuan.
Maximum cruising range: 1008km (Thousand Miles Edition)
Good meals are not afraid of being late. After Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an successively launched AION S Plus and AION V Plus, AION LX Plus, the flagship model of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, arrived late.
AION LX Plus is positioned as "the flagship of intelligent and thousands of miles pure electricity", focusing on intelligence, endurance and luxury. The main target consumers are the new middle-class elite "China upstart" who are wise and confident, pursue superior life enjoyment and have strong national pride. They are more willing to pay for leading technology, time efficiency and high quality. AION LX Plus will bring them high-value products and high-end life experiences with leading product strength.
Among the existing models, the Qianli version is absolutely the same as the ceiling. It uses a single motor with a maximum power of 180kW, and its highlight is that it is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 144.4kWh, which is also the largest battery capacity among the models we introduced today. Officials say the NEDC cruising range of this car has reached 1008km.
The battery life of 1008km is indeed worthy of the name "Thousand Miles Edition", but the price of this model of Thousand Miles Edition is not cheap. This version of the model will be delivered in the second quarter of this year, and we will wait and see whether it can stand out from other models.
ZEEKR 001 pure electric station wagon, let’s have a trip.
Features: Intelligent, comfortable and rich in configuration.
Subsidized price: 299,000-368,000 yuan.
Maximum cruising range: 712km (WE version of ultra-long cruising single motor)
Today’s last model, we left it to ZEEKR 001. If Mercedes-Benz EQS is the most expensive model we introduced today, ZEEKR 001 is the most cost-effective and personalized model we introduced today.
ZEEKR 001 has launched two models with long battery life, both of which use 100kWh ternary lithium batteries, of which the NEDC with long battery life of single motor WE version is 712km, and the NEDC with long battery life of double motor YOU version is 606km. According to EV Vision, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited is the main supplier of krypton.
If you want to buy an electric car with less than 300 thousand and 100kWh, then ZEEKR 001 is the best choice. If you think that the power of the single motor version is not enough, it is also possible to directly connect the two motors. The power *2 and the battery life will be less than 100 kilometers.
Editor’s summary: These models we introduced to you today may be a little niche for most consumers. After all, these long-life versions are all over 300,000 except for the Extreme Fox Alfa S 708S+ and ZEEKR 001, which are not very cheap. Considering the cost, I’m afraid it will take some time to truly realize the "freedom of endurance", but these models with long battery life let us see some light. With the gradual popularization of infrastructure, electric vehicles may be able to achieve an activity radius or a long-distance lifestyle close to that of fuel vehicles without a large battery pack.
