If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and secretly found the driving license, I would never have believed that this Xpeng P7 had traveled 300,000 kilometers in less than a year and a half.

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes and secretly found the driving license, I would never have believed that in less than a year and a half,

this Xpeng P7 had actually traveled 300,000 kilometers.

The most puzzling thing is that this car is neither a manufacturer's test drive nor a durability test car.

It is an ordinary private car registered by an ordinary Shenzhen car owner in January 2021. car.

I asked the manufacturer what the car owner was using it for, and the manufacturer said it had no comment due to privacy concerns, but one thing is certain:

is not an online ride-hailing service.

is calculated based on 540 days and 300,000 kilometers. It runs around the clock 007 work system and has to run:

555.6 kilometers every day.

If it is a New Year or a holiday, it means that its commuting distance will be around 1,000 kilometers for many days.

In order to complete this extremely arduous mileage within limited working hours, this P7 most likely has not enjoyed the leisurely charging method of slow charging.

In one sentence: fast charging usage environment, high-intensity intercity commuting, and devilish usage conditions.

So, how does this car drive now?

First of all, I have repeatedly confirmed that the watch of this car has not been changed. From a professional sensitivity, I am convinced that Xiaopeng will not do this kind of marketing activity based on falsehoods. The second thing is that even though I am very curious, I can only accept that this car owner "abused" this car because it really fully demonstrates the tool attributes of a car.

is more than adequate, it is simply vivid.

I used my math level of 60 points in the college entrance examination to calculate. If this car owner drives a fuel vehicle and assumes a relatively common fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 kilometers,

then the fuel cost for running 300,000 kilometers is is about 200,000 yuan - which is almost the price of a P7. And after spending tens of thousands of yuan on electricity bills for a year and a half, I can seem to hear the owner of this Xpeng P7 snickering with satisfaction.

Of course, I know what everyone is concerned about. I drove this car for a lap, and from an intuitive perspective, I didn’t notice any difference compared to the new P7 car I experienced at the same time.

It's probably because the road conditions I drove were the city roads I usually take. It took less than half an hour to go back and forth, but I actually couldn't experience anything. I just noticed when passing potholes on the road, and the chassis was still very tight and solid, not as loose as I expected for an old car with 300,000 miles.

I also took pictures of the areas where the wear and tear was visible to the naked eye. For example, the leather steering wheel explains what "grinded leather" means. The area is not large, and you can see it if you look closely. I feel sorry for P7 for a second.

What’s strange to me is that the rear seats have obvious signs of use. If the manufacturer hadn’t denied it, I would have really suspected that the car owner was driving an online ride-hailing service.

After all, the manufacturer told me sincerely that

can’t drive more than a thousand kilometers a day when driving an online car-hailing car.

Driving summary:

This Xiaopeng P7 is unremarkable. Apart from the stories of hard work and hard work behind it, which are fascinating, it triggered two thoughts for me:

1. The durability of electric vehicles is not what ordinary users think. squeamish.

2. The battery is also more durable than most people expect.

Because I am also the owner of a pure electric car. I have driven it for 4 years and covered 60,000 kilometers. The battery degradation is not as obvious as I imagined when I first bought it.

To be precise, compared to when I first bought it, I don’t feel any “battery degradation” in the old and inexpensive electric car I drive.

After driving this P7 with a mileage of 300,000 kilometers in a year and a half, I am even more convinced that I am not hallucinating.

An event like Xiaopeng’s is simple and unpretentious. Behind an ordinary car, there are actually many things that can be sublimated. Especially now that the penetration rate of and in electric vehicles is getting higher and higher, it is time for the traditional stereotype of

to be updated.
