Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

With the advent of the year of the Rabbit, Han Zhuo, a girl from Northeast China, finally made up her mind to buy the first car in her life.

The house and the car are the two most important "big things" in the lives of contemporary young people, and now they are about to solve one, which should be a happy thing, but Han Zhuo is entangled as a result.

For Han Zhuo, who worked in Shanghai as the "first city of new energy vehicles" for several years, new energy vehicles were her first choice, but when she put forward the idea, she was repeatedly rejected.

"when the weather is cold, the battery breaks directly."to buy a new energy car in the northeast is to find yourself a pain." in the face of his parents' opposition, Han Zhuo dared not refute it on the sofa. When the seven aunts who came to visit learned that Han Zhuo wanted to buy a new energy car, they also "criticized" this "impractical" idea.

Han Zhuo tried to suppress his sigh and kept eating dumplings to divert his attention. In the end, Han Zhuo's last thoughts on new energy vehicles in this heroic city, which is located in the transportation hub of the three northeastern provinces, were drowned out by the opposition of his parents and aunts.

In the cold northeast, there are not a few car owners who oppose buying new energy cars. The author found that, I do not know since when, "Northeast" and "new energy car" two words, put together has become a "paradox". Under the office building of a shopping mall, it is full of fuel trucks.

(fuel truck in a shopping mall in Siping City) but it is undeniable that in the streets of Siping City where the author is located, the figure of new energy vehicles has gradually increased, and the northeast does not seem to reject new energy vehicles.

01. I'm not afraid that I can't get customers, but I'm afraid I can't get batteries. What Xie, a taxi driver, fears most is not that he can't get customers, but that he can change electricity.

In Siping, the average unit price of a taxi is 5 yuan to 15 yuan, including the cost of fuel, while the electricity bill of new energy vehicles is even more economical, which is obviously very attractive to Lao Xie, who is nearly 40 and is carrying the heavy burden of his family.

According to Lao Xie, the new energy taxi is the Red Flag E-QM5, a pure electric vehicle launched by FAW Red Flag. It has two versions of power replacement and charging, and the comprehensive range can reach 431km, which is enough for taxi drivers. "and it is a B-class car with a better sense of experience, and users are more willing to take such a car." Lao Xie said.

What is used in the taxi market is the electric version of E-QM5, and there will be a subsidy of tens of thousands of yuan after purchase. "there is a policy that buying a red flag new energy taxi can subsidize a lot of money, and the battery can be replaced at a power station when the battery is used up, which can be replaced in 20 seconds, and the electricity charge per kilometer is only 0.30 yuan, which is cheaper than driving a fuel taxi in the past."

There are not a few drivers who share the same idea as Xie, so new energy taxis can be seen everywhere in this heroic city, but unexpectedly, changing electricity is enough to make countless new energy taxi drivers cry.

(new energy taxis parked by the roadside) at the beginning of winter, the temperature in Siping was minus 20 degrees Celsius, and rain, snow and low temperatures caused the chassis and batteries to freeze together, making it extremely difficult to disassemble. "when changing electricity, the batteries could not be removed and were frozen, and many new energy taxis in Siping, Changchun and Songyuan were lying in their nests and stuck in the power station."

Lao Xie thought that even if he stood in line, a few hours would be enough, but he did not expect that the waiting would be one day and one night. In the temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, countless taxi drivers were entrenched near the power station, hoping that it would be their turn to change electricity earlier, and some drivers called their friends to help them queue up to return home for dinner and then come back to wait.

(taxi waiting in line to change electricity) there are drivers who chisel ice cubes with tools, drivers who use radiators to blow into the frozen chassis, and drivers who drive to a warm place and come back after the ice has melted.

Being good at making fun in bitterness has always been an inborn gift for people in the Northeast. Lao Xie sighed while waiting in line: "taxis don't use batteries to change electricity at all, it costs drivers!" This sentence made the drivers laugh. Accompanied by the laughter, the drivers were more energetic and continued to carry out the fierce "ice-breaking operation".

According to Lao Xie, at present, there are two completed exchange power stations in Siping City, and three more are under planning. After completion, the problem of power exchange will certainly be alleviated. At that time, the replacement power station will certainly have more perfect thawing measures.

At this point, Lao Xie's eyes were full of hope, and then he sailed to the change power station with hope.

02. Should I still drive a new energy car after going back to the northeast? For Shao Bo, a young man from the northeast who works in Sanya, he was confused when he returned to his hometown this year.

Shao Bo, who has worked hard in Sanya for many years, has already made a down payment in Siping on his own and bought a new energy car in Sanya.

"what's the use of making so much money outside? sooner or later, we have to go back to the northeast." In the face of the urging of his parents, Shao Bo also came up with the idea of going home and planned to return to the Northeast after the handover of work in Sanya after the festival and get married on a blind date.

So the question is, what about the car? Shao Bo struggled about whether to sell the new energy car. "if no one drives it after returning to the northeast, it is even more difficult to sell, it would be better to go back to Sanya to sell it after the year."

According to Shao Bo, Sanya is full of charging piles, and it is like spring all the year round, so there is no need to worry about power outage and charging at all, but the situation in the northeast is different.

During the Spring Festival this year, there is no heavy snow in Siping, even if there is occasional snow and ice on the road, it will soon be crushed by rolling wheels and drifted away with the wind.

(on the streets of his hometown) judging from the photos taken by Shao Bo's family, Siping should not have anything to do with cold, but the temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius is a fact. A bottle of water is left outside, and it won't be long before it freezes solid.

So Shao Bo decided to go back to Sanya to sell his car and buy a fuel car when he got home.

But after getting off the high-speed railway, Shao Bo was surprised by the new energy taxis everywhere. "when did Siping have so many new energy taxis?"

In fact, it is not just taxis. In this small town, you can occasionally see the shadow of new energy private cars. Weilai, AITO Boundary, Tesla and so on are no longer rare in the northeast, and new energy cars on sale can be seen everywhere in shopping malls.

(new energy vehicles in a shopping mall in Siping) in the face of more and more new energy vehicles in Siping, Shao Bo suddenly found that "the northeast can not drive new energy vehicles" seems to be a false proposition.

On the night of New year's Eve, Shao Bo and his family got together. When talking about whether to change fuel cars, his father said: "so many people who buy new energy cars are also driving well in the northeast. I don't know what you are afraid of."

Shao Bo's father's words once again gave Shao Bo confidence. Finally, Shao Boxin said, "I will drive back from Sanya after the new year."

03. When I bought a new energy car, I bet correctly: "of course a new energy car can be driven in the northeast, so I can drive it very comfortably." Liu Liang, a youth in Siping, said.

According to Liu Liang, he works in the drone industry and is also a lithium battery. Although drones consume electricity quickly in the northeast, they do not delay their shooting work.

Moreover, young people who engage in drones inevitably like science and technology and intelligence. When Liu Liang worked in the south, his colleagues drove new energy cars, such as ideal, Lulai and Tesla.

"I have a basement and a charging environment at home. Although everyone says that new energy cars are not good, I just want to challenge them. I won't know until I have tried." Liu Liang has a characteristic that northeasterners do not hit the south wall and do not look back. According to him, this is inherited from the northeast ancestors who reclaimed this barren land into rich white mountains and black waters.

When the family learned that Liu Liang wanted to buy a new energy car, they began to obstruct it in every way, but in the end, Liu Liang persisted in wave after wave of opposition from his parents.

(Liu Liang takes his family to shoot on the frozen lake) "it turns out I made the right bet."

Liu Liang's daily commute is about more than 20 kilometers. If it is converted into the cost of fuel, plus the cost of car maintenance, it is a large expenditure, but after buying new energy vehicles, the average is 0.075 yuan per kilometer in summer and 0.12 yuan per kilometer in winter, saving a lot of money.

On the issue of battery life, Liu Liang's new energy vehicle continues to fly as 305km, about 250km in summer when air conditioners are turned on, and 150km-160km in 10 degrees below zero in winter. if it is 20 degrees below zero, the range can reach 120km. It can be recharged more than once a week in summer and once three or four days in winter.

Not only that, Liu Liang also traveled across the city with his parents on weekends. "driving to Changchun, find a charging pile to recharge, we play tired, the electricity is also full, and then drive back to Siping."

Over time, Liu Liang's parents have a growing affection for new energy vehicles. When relatives questioned the life of Liu Liang's new energy vehicles, Liu Liang's father said, "more than 100 kilometers in winter is not enough to drive. Do you want to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" Unwittingly, Liu Liang's parents also became fans of new energy cars.

"next time you buy a car, you will also buy new energy!"

04. The Northeast has never rejected new energy vehicles, a region full of inclusiveness.

Everyone comes from different provinces and cities, and it is more than 1000 kilometers from Heilongjiang Province to Dalian, Liaoning Province, which is equivalent to the distance between Beijing and Shanghai, but what is amazing is that in this area, everyone says that they are from the Northeast and speaks the Northeast dialect.

In such an inclusive area, I don't believe it when you say it rejects new energy vehicles.

Only due to temperature restrictions and insufficient construction of charging facilities, car owners do not buy new energy vehicles. It is not so much not buying it as daring to buy it. after all, problems such as "looking for charging posts all over the street", "parked halfway" and "difficult to start in cold weather" are too cruel for car owners who have experienced it. especially in some areas where the winter temperature is 30 or 40 degrees below zero, or even 50 degrees below zero.

But in many cities in the northeast, people have gradually become accustomed to the existence of new energy vehicles. For example, in Siping City, where the author lives, the author was surprised when he looked at the new energy taxis and new energy private cars everywhere after returning to his hometown. Among car owners, as in the article, the number of car owners who generally prefer new energy vehicles is also gradually increasing.

In fact, the new energy car in Siping is just a microcosm of the northeast. In the future, with the breakthrough of battery technology and the improvement of supporting facilities of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles will eventually have a place in the northeast.
