In the last article, I wrote about how much an electric car actually travels on one charge using the example of six different modern electric cars. As it turned out, the passport power reserve for everyone turned out to be predictably higher than the real one. However, the error is about the same as that of modern diesel engines.<\/p>\n
The experiment was to drop the battery of an electric car completely, until the moment when the car stupidly stands up. A separate interest was to see what would happen to the machine as it was discharged.<\/p>\n
Let me remind you that 6 cars participated in the experiment: Nissan Leaf e plus, Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes EQC 400, Audi e-tron, Kia e-Niro and Tesla Model 3 Long Range.<\/p>\n
Almost all machines behaved about the same when the battery was discharged. When the charge was over (less than 10% remained), a warning popped up on the screen that the charge was low and it was necessary to connect to the charge. Some time later, when the rest of the course was already measured in kilometers, and not tens of kilometers (for someone earlier, for someone later), the car switched to energy-saving mode: the car became less frisky, the engine power was clearly limited, just to save some charge.<\/p>\n
At the very end, a warning popped up that the car was about to stop and the engine would be blocked. The next minute, this is exactly what happened. All that could be done was to have time to stop on the side of the road.<\/p>\n
Moreover, in some cars (in particular, the Tesla Model 3), problems began with a small remaining charge. For example, the autopilot did not want to turn on (although everything was fine before that) and Bluetooth was cut off. It's not a fact that this is due to battery saving, perhaps just a bug, but the fact remains.<\/p>\n
None of the vehicles attempted to automatically route to the nearest charging station when navigation was off.<\/p>\n
After stopping, the cars were divided into those that could be pushed and those that could not. It was impossible to push the Audi e-tron. The electric motor and steering wheel are blocked and that's it. The Mercedes also didn't want to push at first, but it turns out that in order to move it, you need someone to sit in the driver's seat. However, you can't push a Mercedes for a long time. It's more of a mode for pushing the car to the side of the road or to the outlet at the nearest building in the city.<\/p>\n
Nissan Leaf can also be pushed only if someone is sitting in the cabin. The Kia e-Niro and Jaguar I-Pace jostled without restraint. And the Tesla Model 3 Long Range even has a special mode for towing. This is very strange, because such a mode is supposedly harmful to the electric motor and it is not without reason that other manufacturers do not suggest towing. But perhaps Tesla somehow solved this problem.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
