BYD Han EV travels all the way north to minus 10 degrees Celsius

The idea of ??heading north from Xi'an, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, towards Beijing, the current imperial capital, has been lingering in my mind, but it has not been realized. In this winter of -10°C under the epidemic, drive BYD Han EV from Xi'an at -2°C to Beijing at -11°C, and have a time-travel journey at your convenience. .

We did not plan the route in advance for this crossing. We followed the route recommended by the navigation system and quickly recharged our batteries in the service area of ??the highway. The number of recharges per day does not exceed 1 time, and the Han EV's performance is very solid with a NEDC comprehensive driving range of 605km.

This journey is about 1,100km, starting from Xi'an, Shaanxi, and passing through Linfen, Shanxi, Taiyuan, Hebei, Baoding, Hebei and Beijing. Covers highways and urban sections, suitable for most people's usage scenarios.

In order to ensure daily travel needs, this time we chose the BYD Han EV ultra-long range premium model. The car is equipped with a BYD blade battery with a capacity of 76.9kWh and a NEDC range of 605km. The front is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 163kW and a maximum torque of 330N·m.

This is also the reason why I chose it this time, because I am very looking forward to the performance of the blade battery in winter, and all parameters are very eye-catching. Moreover, the Han EV can replenish the battery within the range of 30% to 80% within 25 minutes at the fastest, meeting my need for stop-and-go charging.

As it is cold winter, we turned on the seat heating at ?1? throughout the entire journey in the car, and the temperature was adjusted to ?26? degrees Celsius to ensure the comfort of winter travel.

It is worth mentioning that the BYD Han EV provides 6 USB ports and wireless charging facilities, which can quickly recharge mobile phones and mobile devices. Users who are worried about mobile phone battery life can use Han EV? for long-distance travel with confidence.

On the first day, from Xi'an, Shaanxi to Linfen, Shanxi, the whole journey takes about 360km. The spacious trunk space of BYD Han EV perfectly accommodates the large luggage of the two of us, and there is even room for other things.

For such a long journey, comfort is very important. All BYD Han EV series are equipped with heating/ventilation of the main driver's seat as standard, ensuring the driver's comfort experience whether in hot summer or cold winter.

Delicate and soft Nappa leather seats are standard on all series, and the large and comfortable seats and interior space make long-distance travel a pleasure. Countless times I fell asleep inadvertently because of this seat. The seats are made of Grade A cowhide from Brazil. The touch is very delicate and the support is very good.

Not only that, BYD Han EV's front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension design brings an executive level of 500,000 yuan with a price of about 250,000 yuan. The driving experience of the car is that it can still handle large bumps on the asphalt road calmly, using softness to overcome stiffness, without unnecessary bounce, and is very comfortable.

Coupled with the electric adjustment function of the main and passenger seats, it can accurately help me adjust to a suitable sitting posture for driving. This Han EV? is also equipped with two-level memory for the main driver's seat, which is very convenient when there are multiple users at home.

After a 6-hour long journey, we were going to take a break at the Hancheng service area and recharge the vehicle's battery. Checked the remaining battery. It ran from 100% at the start to 39%, with a remaining range of 243km. This performance really exceeded my expectations. This was a continuous driving of 6 hours in the weather of minus 4 degrees Celsius in the north.

After connecting to the charging pile, we went to the service area to rest for a while and wait for the charging to be completed. Unexpectedly, the BYD Han EV's charging speed was still very fast in the cold winter. The maximum power reached 67kW. It completed the energy replenishment of 24.91kWh in 28 minutes, and the power returned to about 70%. , the whole process is very fast.

During this trip, we all adopted the mode of recharging as you go, which is the habit of most people driving on the highway. After driving more than two to three hundred kilometers, we went to the service area to rest and recharge. There is no intention of looking for charging stations to replenish power. Overall, I have great trust in the battery life of BYD Han EV.

During the entire journey, we also try to charge within the range of 30% to 80% to ensure the fastest energy replenishment and more efficient use of the battery. It should be noted that the above 35%~80% charging is not the normal level of Han EV. Since there are other vehicles charging at a charging pile during charging, the output power of the charging pile is limited and diverted, and the time taken to charge the Han EV alone will be longer than that of the Han EV alone.

Based on my experience over the past few days, this form of energy replenishment can fully meet the needs of a single long-distance journey of 300km~400km.

Whether it is on the highway or on urban roads, BYD Han EV is equipped with a 163kW front permanent magnet synchronous motor and 19-inch tires that can firmly bite the ground and provide powerful driving force. In many cases, this acceleration provided me with a safer overtaking environment. I believe that the vast majority of people will complain about the slow acceleration of fuel vehicles when using cars on a daily basis, and miss the opportunity to merge.

This is especially true on the highway. The Beijing-Kunming Expressway we passed this time was often lined with large trucks on the right side, and there were cars driving slowly in the left lane. The powerful power provided by BYD Han EV gives me the confidence to overtake safely and merge into the line at any time, and complete overtaking more quickly.

After a day of driving, when I returned to the hotel and parked the car, I also recorded the remaining battery capacity and battery life. Early the next morning, I found that the battery and battery life were not lost at all. This is still a night spent in the northern weather of minus 10 degrees Celsius. I think most users who have doubts about this don't need to worry at all. ?

In order to test the more extreme charging performance, we also conducted a low-temperature and low-battery charging test. When the battery reached 14%, we went to the high-power charging pile in Beijing Tewatt to charge. The charging pile here supports a maximum charging power of 400kW, and the ambient temperature at this time is -6 degrees Celsius.

After just connecting to the charging pile and waiting for the battery temperature to increase, the power quickly reached 74kW and the maximum voltage was 611V. Then at 56%, the power reached the highest point, 110.5kW, and the voltage reached 621V. After charging to 80%, the power is reduced to 76.7kW, and the current input is maintained at a lower level during subsequent charging to protect the battery.

In general, BYD Han EV still maintains stable charging performance in low-temperature environments, and with high-power charging piles it can complete 100% recharging within 1 hour.

BYD Han EV's built-in DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system is equipped with a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating screen. Compared with previous models, the clarity and frame are qualitatively improved. This is The place that impressed me most after getting on the bus.

After getting in the car, you can wake up the voice assistant by pressing "Hello, Xiaodi", set navigation destinations and search for nearby food and entertainment. The voice recognition rate is super high. You can ask it to do anything you want to search without using your hands at all, which greatly improves driving safety. ?

Not only that, you can also use the TikTok and music apps that come with this large screen to let the co-pilot or rear passengers watch video content on a larger screen during the journey. Of course, the premise is to maintain driving safety.

Also, on the road, mobile phones often encounter situations where there is no signal or the network is too slow and switches to 3G. BYD Han EV supports high-speed Internet access via 4G network. The mobile hotspot provided is more stable and faster than the 5G network that comes with the mobile phone, making it very suitable for business people.

With the 220V power plug under the air outlet of the secondary instrument, during this trip I not only enjoyed the comfortable mobile office environment provided by the rear seats, but also could use the laptop in the car without interruption. Work in hot spots.

You can also unlock the vehicle, lock the doors, turn on and off the air conditioner through the BYD cloud service app on your mobile phone. And know the status of vehicle doors, windows, tire pressure, etc. at any time.

In fact, during this trip, the DiPilot assisted driving system equipped with BYD Han EV really helped a lot. Even if two people are driving at high speed without interruption, the uninterrupted and repetitive scenery along the way will still make people deeply tired. The full-speed ACC+LKS lane keeping system equipped with DiPilot allows us to save a lot of effort and focus more on driving and reduce fatigue.

Along the way, I was deeply impressed by BYD Han EV’s excellent battery life, low temperature resistance and ability to quickly replenish power. Especially the NEDC 605km battery life. Even in winter, it still has about 400km+ mixed road battery life. You must know that this is an achievement in the cold winter when the heater and seat heating are turned on, which really impressed me.

Fast recharging means I don’t have to worry about which service area to stop and charge. As long as there is a service area, I can just go in and charge for a while. There is no anxiety about long-distance battery life. .

The low-temperature-resistant blade battery still maintains the power before parking even after a night of raging temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius. You don’t have to worry about charging it fully at night and losing 10% of it the next day. Awkward situations exist.

The internal 220V power interface + stable and fast 4G network solves the two major problems of network and power supply and provides a comfortable environment for those of us who often travel on business. Mobile office scene in the back row.

The above and the excellent performance of BYD Han EV are the best witnesses of this 1100km journey. This also breaks my long-standing prejudice against the poor battery life and charging capabilities of electric vehicles in winter. Only personal experience can tell that the development of new energy vehicles has exceeded most people's imagination.

This is the journey of BYD Han EV traveling 1,100km all the way north in winter. It is also the embodiment of BYD's hard work on blade batteries and BYD Han EV? over the years. I hope everyone can feel the charm it brings in winter.
