According to the sales data of the China Passenger Car Association in September, the sales volume of new energy (including pure electric and hybrid) exceeded 610,000 vehicles, and the penetration rate of new energy (new energy sales/overall sales) reached 31.8%. More and more fuel car owners choose new energy vehicles not because of policies such as license plate restrictions, but better product experience and lower travel costs. For example, AITO M5 and M7 have attracted many fuel owners to buy it with their computer ceiling, Hongmeng cockpit and the characteristics of twice the performance and less fuel consumption, making it a microcosm of the rise of China's new energy vehicle sales.
If new energy vehicles want to attract fuel vehicle users, especially those who do not have the impact of the policy of restricting traffic and license plates, they must be able to bring real value. The killer weapon of the Inquiry M5 and Inquiry M7 is to use half of the fuel consumption to achieve twice the performance, and at the same time, it is supported by the Hongmeng cockpit on the ceiling of the car. While greatly reducing the travel costs of users, it also allows them to experience the fun of smart travel first. How much can the extended-range technology of
AITO save? Needless to say, the daily charging and use of peak and valley electricity price is as low as a few cents per kilometer. If you use it completely like a fuel vehicle, AITO's two extended-range models can still achieve fuel consumption far lower than that of fuel vehicles of the same level. The so-called range-extended range means that the range-extended range-generates power generation - charging the battery - driving the motor, which is equivalent to adding an efficient "fuel power bank" to pure electric vehicles. From the energy conversion link, we can find that the extended range is one more energy conversion than the fuel vehicle, so how can it be more fuel-efficient? The core lies in the efficiency of oil-electric conversion.
We know that the current excellent fuel engine can achieve the highest thermal efficiency of more than 40%, but it can only be achieved under ideal conditions. For example, driving at a constant speed of 80km per hour, but it is impossible to maintain this working condition during daily driving. In the congested road conditions in the city, the engine frequently starts and stops to adjust the load, so the fuel consumption is relatively high. AITO adopts a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender 3.0 specially designed for range-extended range systems, and adopts energy-saving methods of high compression ratio, high EGR rate, and high air-fuel ratio to further improve the maximum thermal efficiency and reach a leading performance level of 41%. At the same time, because the range extender is only responsible for driving the generator, it can always work in the optimal speed range, and the overall thermal efficiency level is much higher than that of the fuel engine.
Take the M7 as an example. As a large SUV with a weight of more than 2 tons, the acceleration from 100 kilometers is as low as 4.8s, and the fuel consumption is only 5.8L when driving without electricity, which is even more cost-effective than traditional small fuel SUVs. Compared with models of the same level, the top-end price of the M7 in Wenjie is only 379,800 yuan, while the top-end price of the M7 in BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS is 1.648 million yuan and 1.329 million yuan respectively, several times that of the M7 in Wenjie. The BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS accelerated 100 km in 4.7s and 6.3s respectively, and the fuel consumption per 100 km in 10.3L and 12.2L respectively. Inquiry M7 truly realizes what Yu Chengdong says, "one more performance and half less fuel consumption", reducing travel costs and improving control experience.
Currently, many people recommend new energy for many reasons, but what can impress consumers most is always the improvement of experience. As representative models of extended-range technology, AITO M5 and M7 are the advantages of double performance and less fuel consumption, and directly compete with the advantages of double performance and less than half of fuel consumption. They no longer place themselves in new energy vehicles protected by policy, but experience the "powerful" that surpasses fuel vehicles in all aspects. It is not surprising that they will attract so many fuel owners to choose.
