October 1, Shenzhen, Guangdong.

A blogger posted a video saying that he drove his Tesla back to Hunan from Shenzhen, but he was blocked on the road and hadn’t left Guangdong for more than 24 hours, and finally the vehicle ran out of power.

　　According to the man, the vehicle lost its power instantly when it ran out of electricity, and it was embarrassing to be stuck in the traffic flow. Since the free tow truck rescue in the insurance could not get on the highway, he could only call the tow truck for emergency rescue, and there was an additional charge of 2,000 yuan on holidays. , and finally the people and the car were towed.

　　Yesterday, the man released a follow-up saying that he had just bought this Tesla, and he had planned to drive from Shenzhen to Yongzhou, Hunan on this November long holiday (the distance between the two places is 500 kilometers, and the Tesla’s battery life is 435 kilometers). After the expressway, there were too many people in the service areas in front of him. When the battery life of the car was only 80 kilometers, he started to panic and planned to go off the expressway to charge. As a result, he could not get off the expressway when he encountered a heavy traffic jam while driving, so he could only watch. The battery was exhausted one by one, and finally a tow truck was called. After getting off the highway, it was charged and then set off. It has now returned to its hometown safely.

　　The man said that because of this incident, he was laughed at when he returned to the village, and was despised by his father who used to drive a truck and liked gas trucks. He only cooked a vegetable to receive him, "as if he was making fun of me for not being able to refuel."

　　The man finally reminded the owner of the tram to plan the itinerary well before traveling.

　　As soon as the incident came out, it caused a heated discussion among netizens about the tram:

　　The moonlight is like water: Electric vehicles are good for driving in urban areas, and there are no restrictions.

However, long-distance travel should be carefully considered to avoid unnecessary troubles.

　　Xixi Playing People: Unconventional traffic jams have created a problem for electric vehicle manufacturers, users, and relevant departments of charging pile services, and we want everyone to solve the problem together.

　　135****1882: Electric vehicles are only used for commuting and commuting, which is the most suitable.

　　Nanshan MM: Electric vehicles are only suitable for short-distance neighborhoods, and definitely not suitable for returning home after a long vacation.

　　Xiao Hanghang: It is still possible to drive an electric car for a short distance, but there is no gas car insurance for a long distance.

　　Yiyi boat veteran: It is a problem to travel by tram on holidays. It is recommended to buy a car with a mixture of electricity and oil.

　　Some netizens also said that it was the driver who did not make a good travel plan:

　　135****6001: The driver is stupid and doesn't know how to plan. You can't forgive the first time you use a tram, because you should know how to use it after you buy it.

　　Shenquan Xiaojiangnan: As long as you prepare two charging treasures, this will not happen.

　　A grain of sago: It is also brave to drive the tram home.

　　In recent years, self-driving tours have been popular with everyone, and with the increasing promotion of new energy vehicles and the improvement of charging facilities in recent years, more and more people are buying new energy pure electric vehicles.

The resulting "mileage anxiety" problem is also becoming more and more serious.

　　Some new energy vehicle owners said that charging during the National Day holiday is difficult: the service area has to queue for 4 hours to charge, and there are four charging piles including 10 or 20 new energy vehicles; Some car owners are stuck in traffic but they are afraid of running out of electricity and do not dare to turn on the air conditioner.

　　Last year's National Day holiday, an owner of a new energy vehicle who drove back to Hunan from Shenzhen said that he left Shenzhen, Guangdong on October 1 and traveled to the Leiyang service area in Hunan, "in order to charge the vehicle, I queued up on the expressway. 4 hours, 1 hour of charging."

In the end, the owner of the car who "checked the road conditions in advance for fear of traffic jams" ended up taking 16 hours to get home after an 8-hour drive...

　　The long holiday is about to enter the peak of travel. If you drive an electric vehicle, is there anything you should pay attention to?

　　To help you sort out some tips for traveling with electric vehicles, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Plan big mileage with small mileage

　　For electric vehicles, cruising range and charging facilities are the two major obstacles that restrict long-distance electric vehicles. Before traveling, the route should be reasonably arranged according to the charging facilities along the way and the destination.

An electric vehicle with a range of about 300km can plan a single trip of about 240km, and an electric vehicle with a range of 150km-200km is best to only operate in urban areas, and a short range is not suitable for long-distance travel.

Understand the distribution and number of charging piles on the way

　　Although the cruising range of electric vehicles is getting longer and longer, it is always reassuring to keep your car in a fully charged state, just like a mobile phone cannot run out of electricity.

Therefore, understanding the distribution and number of charging piles on the way is the top priority.

　　First of all, we need to see whether the number of charging stations in the route planning and the frequency of occurrence are already available.

Generally speaking, the interval between high-speed service areas is between 30-50km, and the maximum interval should not exceed 60km; secondly, we also need to check whether there are available charging facilities in the hotel parking lot or around the hotel. If so, you can stay in this hotel. If not, let’s change homes; finally, we also need to know whether there are charging facilities in the parking lots of tourist attractions, and you can go with confidence if you can charge them.
