3 days, 2200 kilometers, electric cars run to Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao

* Editor's note: This article comes from? 42? Members of the first community? Look at you.

20 19? Year? 2? Last year, Beijing's new energy indicators entered Guangzhou until the end of the year. About a week ago in Beijing. 4S？ Did the store buy BYD? e3？ High endurance version? Create a distinguished type, cruising range? 405? Km, the official license plate, was not available until the morning of the ninth lunar month. As soon as I got the license plate and prepared the necessary water and food, I set off from Chaoyang District to Guangzhou, and embarked on a journey of more than 2,000 miles running through the north and south of China.

Before leaving, we spent a few days studying the strategy of long-distance driving of electric vehicles. Fortunately, we found the strategy of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao high-speed electric vehicle charging station summarized by predecessors in WeChat search, which is divided into Hebei section, Henan section, Hubei section, Hunan section and Guangdong section. Each road section is equipped with the service area of State Grid standard charging pile and the distance between the service areas.

Although temporary search Baidu map can also find relevant charging station facilities, such preparation is not sufficient. According to these strategies summarized by predecessors, we have clearly planned the driving interval in advance and made an appointment in advance. 150? km？ About mileage, prevent the charging pile of the first service station from failing or queuing too much.

Day? 1? Beijing-Zhao County, Hebei Province? 355? kilometre (km)

Bad start, false alarm

On the afternoon of the first day, I got on the expressway from Beijing. The original goal was to go to Baoding service area in Hebei. What is the distance? 195? Km, this BYD? e3？ NEDC？ What is the battery life? 405? Km, I just picked up the car and didn't run across the highway. I don't know the discount degree of winter mileage in the north. We will adjust the service area of the site at any time according to the actual mileage changes.

Shortly after the car left Beijing and entered the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the position of four tires suddenly appeared on the car display screen, prompting that the tire pressure was too low. Suddenly, the daughter-in-law sitting in the co-pilot was shocked. She quickly took a screenshot and sent WeChat to contact the car after-sales. After the sale, she suggested that we drive into the service area to find a repair shop to test the tire pressure. If there is no problem, just click "Reset" on the direct operation menu.

We decided to enter Dingxing service area temporarily, and the master checked the tire pressure of four tires, all of them? 2.8? Probably, higher than the standard? 2.5, it may be a false alarm of the new car system detection. Did the master give it to you? 4? One of the tires is a little flat, so it's all adjusted to? 2.55, charge? 20? Yuan, after the test, the big stone in our hearts finally fell to the ground.

Then we'd like to charge the service area by the way. In the urban area, I have only used the special call charging piles of shopping malls, but I have never tried the charging piles of the State Grid. We found that the national grid service area of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway is basically? 4? It is unlucky to learn to use the standard electric pile for the first time. Only one of the four piles in this station is available, and the car is already charging. 50%, one of the other three piles is out of order, and the screen clicks of the other two piles are not sensitive enough to reach the code scanning interface. They called the customer service of State Grid, and the customer service staff helped to restart two piles, which did not solve the problem, so they had to give up the service area and recharge at the next one.

Driving? 140? km？ After arriving in Xu Shui, I finally successfully scanned the code to charge and left about? 50%? What is satisfactory is that the charging power of the State Grid charging pile is still relatively high. 33-48? KW, the last stage of charging may be to protect the battery, 80%-90%? Will it drop to? 20? kW？ About 90%- 100%? Will it drop to? 10? kW？ About, about the charging time? 45? Minutes.

Remember to close the lid of the charging interface after charging. Once I put the plug-in gun back and almost forgot to cover the charging interface of the car. ...

From this distance, it can be seen that electric vehicles are expected to hit high-speed mileage in low temperature environment in winter. 6? Folding is necessary, try not to go too far. If it's not particularly cold, don't turn on the air-conditioning warm seat until the end? 100? km？ Find the next service area to be charged above.

Zhaoxian camp

My wife and I take turns working shifts. In the second paragraph, my daughter-in-law is responsible for driving from Xu Shui service area to Zhaoxian service area. What is the mileage? 2 15? Km, due to the epidemic and the extended holidays after the year, there are almost no cars along expressway, and the whole Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway seems to be our special car runway.

It's almost evening when it's almost Zhao County? 7? At eight o'clock, it's getting dark. If you don't turn on the high beam, just turn on the low beam, and the line of sight in front is not very good. We enter the service area of Zhaoxian County to charge. After dinner, it was already dark. For the sake of driving safety, we found a hotel in Zhao County through Ctrip. Accommodation is cheap. One night? 88? It's still early (but breakfast actually stopped because of the epidemic).

When we exit from Zhaoxian County, we need to register our license plate, ID card and destination to take our temperature in case of quarantine. After entering the city, I found that Zhao County, which feels remote, is also a tourist attraction, with a famous Zhao Zhouqiao and a Buddhist temple, but I had to rush early the next day and was not interested in enjoying it.

Day? 2? Hebei Zhaoxian-Hunan Yangloushi Service Area? 1000? kilometre (km)

Run thousands of miles and enter Hunan in advance.

At half past six the next morning, at dawn, we set off. Based on the first afternoon, we didn't move forward? 300? how much is it? Kilometers. The next journey was originally planned for three days. On the first day, I stayed in Zhumadian service area of Henan Province for one night, the next day I went from Zhumadian service area of Henan Province to Pingjiang service area of Hunan Province, and the third day I returned to Guangzhou from Pingjiang. The reason for this planning is mainly to consider the epidemic situation and not to stay in Hubei at night.

But we drove all the way the next day and charged smoothly, basically on? 180? km？ Mileage, just charge in the service area and rest for an hour, then change drivers to drive, about afternoon? 3? Arriving at Zhumadian service area in Henan at 10: 30, which was the original goal of the day, so we raised our expectations, seized the time to move forward, and drove through Hubei Province at night and directly entered Hunan Province.

But in the raiders, we saw the mileage from Lingshan service area, the last service area in Henan, to Yanglou Temple service area, the first service area in Hunan. 294? Kilometers, our standard cruising range is only? 405? Kilometers, including high-speed and winter concessions, is definitely an impossible task, so we have to choose a compromise plan, from Xinyang service area to Xiaogan service area, the first full-charge service area in Hubei, and then from Xiaogan service area to Yanglou Temple service area in Hunan. This distance is only? 184? Kilometers is a safe distance.

After entering the Hubei border, we started to be a little nervous and closed all the windows. However, we found that the fog on the windshield became heavier and heavier after closing the window, so we had to open the side window slightly to reduce the temperature inside the car, and the windshield gradually became clear.

It is dark at night, so you need to turn on the high beam all the time and try to keep walking in the same lane. There is no need not to change lanes frequently unless you have to overtake a big truck or a car that is too slow ahead. In Hubei high-speed foggy weather, it is difficult to see the distant scene with the high beam on, so we can only focus on keeping the taillights of the vehicles in the lane line and in front.

Just entering Xiaogan service area, the staff wearing protective clothing sprayed disinfectant on the car body before driving into the service area. When charging in the service area, we were nervous. We got out of the car with two masks before charging, and quickly went back to the car to have a rest after going to the toilet.

About the night? 12? At 8: 00, we arrived at Yanglousi service area, the first service area in Hunan. In the evening, I basically open this section and make appointments continuously. 360? Km, feeling tired, I plan to rest on the spot after charging in the service area.

Give you some skills to rest and warm in the service area. There is boiled water in the service area, which is basically 70-80 degrees hot water. You can use a few mineral water bottles to pick up a few bottles of warm water to warm your baby and warm your cold hands and feet. During the charging process, the car needs to be turned off and powered off, and warm air conditioners and warm seats cannot be used. When fully charged, you can put down the front seat, turn on the heating air conditioner and warm seat, and basically sleep comfortably in the service area for one night.

Day? 3? Hunan Yanglou Company Service Area-Guangzhou? 850? kilometre (km)

Arrive smoothly and have a panoramic view all the way.

Rest in the service area until the next morning? 6? At eight o'clock, I began to cross Hunan Province, and I obviously felt the regional differences between the north and the south. Compared with the cold and desolate north, full of green in Hunan Province is full of spring, but the lane of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway has changed from four lanes in the north to two lanes. It is no longer a flat plain, but a hilly area, with both uphill and downhill.

Rainy days begin in the morning. When the rain is relatively small, you can choose a slow wiper that automatically adjusts according to the rain pressure to clean the rain on the windshield. Later, it rained harder and harder, and it was necessary to slowly adjust the wiper to the intermediate frequency and high frequency to see the front clearly.

When the road is slippery in rainy days, try to drive at a constant speed and smoothly. When overtaking the big truck in front, you need to hold the steering wheel tightly. The rear wheel of a large truck will splash a lot of water, which will affect the line of sight of the car. Therefore, when overtaking, we must seize the opportunity to overtake decisively and quickly, and choose to merge after throwing out the big truck for a certain distance.

From the Hunan section and Guangdong section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway all the way south, you can see the beautiful mountains surrounded by clouds, and you can relax and enjoy while driving. Back to the service area in northern Guangdong at the entrance to Guangdong, we encountered a strict quarantine barrier and the speed was very slow. Vehicle drivers need to register vehicle and personnel information through the "Guangdong Province-saving" WeChat applet for temperature detection. The traffic was not very heavy that day. We only waited for less than half an hour, but I once heard from my colleagues that it would take two hours during the rush hour.

When I returned to Qujiang service area in Guangdong to charge, I found that I couldn't find the charging pile of the State Grid. Instead, I found the charging pile of China Southern Power Grid. I need to download the "Shunyi Charging" APP. What is more commendable is that the charging pile facilities in China Southern Power Grid are more modern than those in the State Grid. Is there a service area? 8? A charging pile, the highest charging power? 50? KW, what is the current? 129? A, this is the highest I have ever seen after so many times of charging. Did you spend it? 50? It will be full in about 10 minutes. Back in Guangdong Province, there is almost no trace of the State Grid charging station, so we need to switch to the Southern Power Grid charging station.

What impressed me most about this trip to Guangdong was that it rained heavily at night, and the wiper with the highest frequency could barely see the road ahead. Moreover, some expressway were crushed by large trucks for a long time, and the white lane lines were blurred. The clear white lane line on expressway is the lifeline of our drivers. I hope the management department of expressway will arrange maintenance as soon as possible.

Summary:

Simply share the experience of this trip. Before we set off, we never used the fast charge of State Grid. We only tried the special call fast charging with a maximum power of only a dozen. KW, is it more expensive to charge the company garage slowly for free? 6? It took more than an hour to fill it up. I was worried at that time that if the charging piles on expressway were so slow, wouldn't it be a short drive until it was dark?

However, since I decided to try driving, I didn't hesitate any more. I embarked on the journey with a little worry. The first charging station I did meet on the road was not easy to use, but the charging speed of the rest area charging station I met later was satisfactory. What is the charging power? 30-50? KW, from? 30%? Both sides are all about just need? 1? About an hour.

Generally speaking, this speed is acceptable because it is open. 200? km？ Around the service area, you can have a rest in the bathroom, relax your muscles, eat something and see the scenery. An hour will pass quickly, so don't worry. Don't drive fatigue at high speed, safety first.

Driving BYD on the expressway? e3？ The overall feeling is that the control of the car is relatively smooth. Although the acceleration speed is not fast, the maximum speed can be close? 130? Km/h, it feels quite comfortable to control when overtaking and merging.

Although the cold weather in winter and the high-speed driving in the north make the tram power off quickly, and the mileage is basically 60% to 70%, we have made a strategy in advance and adopted a step-by-step and steady strategy. The perfect supporting facilities along the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway have given us full calmness and confidence in long-distance driving.

On this road, expressway is unobstructed and has a panoramic view. It is also the first time to experience the change of seasonal scenery from north to south by car, which is a very fresh experience. A little tired, but tired and happy!

BYD after arriving at the destination? e3？ Total mileage

Said a lot, before you know it, it's over. Generally speaking, the 2000-kilometer long-distance raid in Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao was relatively smooth, mainly because we prepared for the raiders in advance.

One more thing to note. Although Baidu Navigation recommended shorter routes to us along the way, such as Beijing taking Daguang Expressway and Hunan taking Leguang Expressway back to Guangdong, we resolutely maintained the route of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, even if it took dozens of kilometers. Because we know that electric cars are not afraid of a long way, and they are afraid that they will not find a charging service station in time. Just walk along the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, across? 30-50? km？ Basically, there will be a high-speed service area, and the name and distance of the service area equipped with charging piles are clearly marked in the raiders, so we are more confident.

Finally, I hope this long-distance driving note can provide some necessary experience for electric car friends, thank you.
