/PRCWT/Hulunbuir, January 18, 2024 - Recently, Harbin has become the most popular car in this winter. Driving in winter, if you choose a new energy vehicle, in the icy and snowy environment, everyone will have many concerns: will the charging become too slow, the battery life discount is not serious, and can you drive in such cold weather? This worry is not a problem for plug-in hybrid cars. Compared with pure electric models, plug-in hybrid cars are better in terms of low temperature endurance; compared with oil cars, they have obvious advantages in terms of green license and car cost. Overall, plug-in hybrid models can best meet the demands of winter travelers on cost, battery life, and reliability.
Recently, Trumpchi New Energy E8 completed the winter new energy vehicle extreme quality challenge at the China Automotive Center Hulunbuir Alpine Test Base. The China Automotive Center is a comprehensive technical service organization with wide influence in the domestic and foreign automotive industries, and has built an extremely authoritative and professional third-party evaluation system in product certification and evaluation testing. The test base is located in Yakeshi in the middle of Hulunbuir City. The average temperature in winter is below -20 ° C, and -30 ° C is the norm. It is a natural alpine car arena.
In this winter test, under extremely cold conditions, the professional team tested the comprehensive performance of the vehicle from multiple dimensions such as battery life, charging, and cold start. As a plug-in hybrid MPV that focuses on household use, whether Trumpchi New Energy E8 can withstand the test of such an extreme environment and meet the needs of winter travel, let's see!
Extreme cold conditions battery life 967.5 kilometers, winter battery life without anxiety
The problem of battery life attenuation faced by new energy vehicles in winter also troubles many car owners. During the low temperature comprehensive operating condition endurance test, the ambient temperature was maintained at -14.4 ° C~ 0.1 ° C, the air conditioner in the car was adjusted to 23 ° C. Trumpchi New Energy E8 simulated the user's real road driving throughout the process until the energy was exhausted, and the final measured cruising range reached 967.5 kilometers. In winter, it was no problem to drive the Trumpchi New Energy E8 from Dalian to Central Street in Harbin.
Trumpchi Intelligent Electric Technology i-GTEC is the key to the excellent results of Trumpchi New Energy E8. The Trumpchi New Energy E8 is equipped with a 2.0L plug-in hybrid engine with the highest thermal efficiency of 42.1% of the same displacement, and is matched with a planetary gear series-parallel two-speed DHT, which can achieve a perfect balance of high-efficiency power and ultra-low energy consumption. The fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of power loss is only 5.7L. i-GTEC DRIVE Quark Intelligent Power Three Electric, using a 25.57kWh ternary lithium battery with excellent low temperature performance, combined with an industry-leading intelligent temperature control system and battery management system, makes winter battery life no longer anxious.
10 minutes to heat up to 36.4 ° C, making the car more comfortable in winter
In the cold of winter, many new energy vehicles will face a difficult problem after spending the night outdoors: the vehicle starts slowly. On a cold morning, if the air conditioner is not turned on in advance, it takes courage to touch the steering wheel. However, in this winter test, the Trumpchi new energy E8 has shown extraordinary cold resistance.
Under extremely cold conditions below -20 ° C, Trumpchi New Energy E8 has undergone rigorous tests for low temperature cold start and air conditioning heating and heating projects. Among them, the cold start test was carried out in an extremely cold environment of -30 ° C. After 12 hours of soaking, Trumpchi New Energy E8 opened the door and applied high pressure, easily realized cold start, the vehicle was trouble-free, and the performance was very reliable.
Thanks to the excellent dual-temperature zone automatic air conditioner, when idling, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 was immersed in the severe cold of -24.9 ° C for 12 hours before heating up the air conditioner. In just 5 minutes, the front temperature rose rapidly by 23.74 ° C. After 10 minutes, the front temperature rose by 36.4 ° C, providing the owner with a warm and comfortable driving environment.
It is worth mentioning that the car owner can also remotely prepare the Trumpchi New Energy E8 through the Trumpchi APP, and adjust the air conditioner in the car to a comfortable temperature before going out, which undoubtedly adds warmth and comfort to winter travel.
It only takes 27 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%, and low temperature charging is efficient and worry-free
Low charging efficiency at low temperature is another painpoint for driving a new energy vehicle in winter. Under ultra-low temperature conditions of -31 ° C, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 is charged DC according to the standard charging procedure. The measured data shows that it only takes 27 minutes for the vehicle battery to be charged from 20% SOC to 80% SOC. Through the intelligent temperature control management system of the whole vehicle, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 can intelligently distribute the battery heating power and charging power when charging at low temperature, which greatly improves the charging rate of the battery at low temperature and effectively solves the problem of long charging time in winter.
In terms of charging compatibility at low temperatures, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 shows excellent compatibility. Under low temperature conditions of -27.4 ° C to -13.7 ° C, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 uses 12 different brands of charging piles for charging, all of which are successful. This means that car owners don't have to worry about having piles but can't charge them, let alone brave the cold wind to find compatible charging piles. This performance of the Trumpchi New Energy E8 ensures that the charging experience can be easily and efficiently obtained in winter.
Moment Star intelligent control chassis brings stable safety
In winter, driving safety on ice and snow roads is the focus of consumers' attention. In this winter test, Trumpchi New Energy E8 relies on the combination of 2.0ATK hybrid special engine with the highest thermal efficiency of the same displacement + planetary gear series-parallel two-speed DHT, which takes into account high-efficiency power and smoothness. When driving on ice and snow conditions, the power response is fast and the control is silky.
The Trumpchi New Energy E8 is equipped with an i-GTEC CHASSIS intelligent control chassis, which allows the vehicle to still pass obstacles, bend more calmly, steer lighter, and brake better on extremely cold ice and snow roads. Under the action of the ASTC Eagle Claw system, the vehicle can be actively stabilized, eliminating the hidden safety hazards of driving on ice and snow roads, giving drivers full confidence, and giving them a stable sense of security when traveling in winter.
If you are still worried about the performance of new energy vehicles in winter, the Trumpchi New Energy E8, which exhibits excellent stability in low temperature environments, will be the perfect solution. In December 2023, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 officially replaced the joint venture brand in the first month of delivery, and topped the household MPV sales throne, which was recognized by many parents. It is equipped with Trumpchi Intelligent Electric Technology i-GTEC, which has high charging efficiency and can quickly fill the battery even in cold winter. The low temperature endurance is not discounted, and the mileage is worry-free. The stable and efficient power output and precise handling performance make it comfortable and safe to travel. As the most preferred family car within 250,000 yuan, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 can help you travel easily in winter.
