The guy drove Baojun E200 on the expressway, traveled 183 kilometers to go on a blind date, and successfully met his girl

As we all know, Baojun E200 is positioned as a mobility scooter. Its 250KM cruising range is no problem for commuting in the city. Most people buy it for commuting to and from get off work or for short-distance self-driving trips. But some people are curious, can such a small car drive on the highway? How far can it be driven on a full charge? Can it be opened in other cities? Recently, Xiao Lin, a young man from Liuzhou, drove his newly acquired Baojun E200 from Liuzhou to Guilin, a distance of 183 kilometers, challenging the usage limit of the Baojun E200.

The cause of the incident was that Xiaolin's colleague planned to take a spontaneous self-driving trip to Guilin for a blind date, so Xiaolin volunteered to be a driver. In the past, I drove a gasoline car, which was fine on the highway, but Xiaolin plans to try the Baojun E200 this time. With such a small body, will it float on the highway? Can the 183-kilometer journey be reached safely? Before setting off, Xiao Lin also had a big question mark in his mind.

In order to save power, Xiaolin’s Baojun E200 turned on the economic mode throughout the entire process, keeping the speed at 80-90 yards per hour, and rushed to 108 yards when going downhill! This is Xiaolin's first time performing Baojun E200's "speed and passion" on the highway. The actual measured speed is stable below 100, but it becomes a bit drifting after reaching 100.

Although Baojun E200 is as mini as a toy, the workmanship quality is actually very good. The 42.9% high-strength steel body ensures safety, such as driver airbag, ESC body stabilization system, EPB electronic handbrake, and reversing. Safety configurations such as imaging and tire pressure monitoring systems are very comprehensive and also play a role in safe driving assistance.

Whether it is a big car or a small car, the focus of safety is on the driver. There are many big cars on the highway. For safety reasons, Xiaolin changed to the slow lane throughout the journey and did not overtake blindly.

After driving about half of the way, the Baojun E200 still had 63% of its power. When it reached the intersection of the expressway into the city, it still had 9% of its power, and it showed that it could still last 20 kilometers. According to the map navigation, there were still 19 kilometers to the destination where he met the girl. To be on the safe side, Xiaolin slowed down the car to thirty or forty yards and drove over cautiously. When he arrived at the charging pile at Guilin Wanda Plaza, only the last 1% was left. Electricity, press the line to pass!

My colleague successfully met the girl, and Xiaolin successfully tested the Baojun E200. How much did this trip cost? The round-trip toll is 140 yuan, the charging fee is 20 yuan, and the cost of using the car is less than 160 yuan! It’s 20 yuan cheaper than taking a train (for two people)!

“Now I feel confident that the Baojun E200 can still go to nearby cities that are closer, and I will have more choices for outings in the future.” Xiao Lin said.

However, the main task of Baojun E200 is urban commuting. Xiaolin usually travels about 20 kilometers to and from work. He only needs to charge the car 2-3 times a month, and the cost is only fifty or sixty yuan. Compared with The Mazda I drove before saved 2/3 of the gas money. Compared with saving money, Xiaolin thinks the most convenient thing about Baojun E200 is its easy parking.

With a body that is only half the size of a traditional car, it can fit into a lot of empty spaces that you would never even think of. "I no longer have to wander around the parking lot for half an hour to find a parking space. Sometimes I can park behind other cars, or I can squeeze it into the middle of two large cars." Xiao Lin said, saving time, effort, and worry. I bought a car for more than 50,000 yuan, and now I don’t feel bad at all.
