Car and Driver Benchmarks The State Of EV Technology Through The EV 1000

장거리 도로 여행 시 100% 전기 자동차의 실제 주행 특성에 대한 정확한 정보에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있다.

주유소에서 접하는 일반적인 추진 방식에 익숙한 거의 모든 사람이 우리의 선택지가 얼마나 다양한지에 대해 알고 싶어 하기 때문에 이러한 지식에 대한 요구는 현실적입니다.

The assumptive bar is set high because gasoline delivers an experience through its ease of access and repetitive use as the primary “energy is freedom” power delivery option with a comfort level that is hard to match in an on-demand | just in time society.

** Study the nation’s charging infrastructure by road-tripping EVs beyond the range of a single charge.

** Basically what one would do by hopping into a gasoline-powered car and drive a 1000-mile lap through four states – but with off-the-shelf electric-powered vehicles.

EV 1000이라는 이름을 지어 우리가 하려는 일이 인디 500보다 두 배 더 격렬하다는 것을 증명하십시오.

** Car and Driver had the 11 vehicles, piloted with a team of two drivers for each, from it’s 2021 EV of the Year test. Vehicles used were the Audi e-tron. Tesla Models 3, Y, & S Long Range Plus, Nissan Leaf, Kia Niro EV, Volkswagen ID.4, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Volvo XC40 Recharge, and finally the Porsche Taycan 4S.

**출발선: 미시간주 앤아버. 운전자들은 반드시 통과해야 하는 경유지들을 다음 순서대로 통과하기만 하면 자신들의 경로를 자유롭게 선택할 수 있었습니다: 신시내티; 오하이오주 애선스; 웨스트버지니아주 모건타운; 펜실베이니아주 이리; 그리고 앤아버.**.

팀들은 일 평균 운전자들과 유사한 활동 패턴을 보이도록, 그리고 모든 팀이 같은 수준에 있도록 하기 위해 자정부터 오전 8시까지 작업을 중단해야 했습니다.

대부분의 팀은 EV 전용 내비게이션 웹사이트 및 앱인 A Better Routeplanner(ABRP)를 사용하여 사전에 충전 장소를 답사했습니다. 사용자는 차량 정보와 예상 속도를 제공하면 ABRP가 에너지 소비량을 추정하고, 각 충전소에서의 예상 충전 시간을 포함하여 최단 경로를 제시합니다.

EV 1000: 11대의 전기차가 장거리 경주에서 맞붙다 
A 1000-mile race through Middle America reveals what it’s like to drive an EV long distances in 2021.
Spoiler: It’s possible but not always fun.

VanderWerp, in the Model S, wanted to post a big number on the first leg to make a statement. Possibly that statement was “No owner would ever do this.” To maximize the energy available for moving the car, he ran a radar detector off a portable battery and played music through a Bluetooth speaker. With climate control off, the cabin temperature reached 86 degrees despite a 65-degree ambient temperature. At least all the sweating meant that neither VanderWerp nor his partner needed the TravelJohn disposable urinals they’d brought. They plugged into their first Supercharger after 326 miles and were back on the road 26 minutes later.

When racing, the location and type of charging station is paramount. One of the contentious focuses the teams had in common was using fast charging stations which were, in many locations on the race, few and far between. Teams would arrive only to be stuck in a line with many of their racing competitors – just not a good look. Some teams found it far better to cruise at speed limits, or slower in order to gain range. Fastest isn’t necessarily first in these kind of alternative power endeavors.

Another major hurdle was the constant attention to math on squaring up the range miles, route, and charging stations – many teams found this to be the largest hurdle to conquer. One snarky observation came from a Car and Driver editor itself by pointing out another possible reason why Americans have been slow to adopt electric vehicles: “As a people, we hate math” – this is cold given all of the ease of use and understanding found in petroleum based energy sources.

The inconsistent nature found in the charging stations and their location can become very confusing – this isn’t anywhere near as simple to understand as “Do I fill up at Chevron or go price and hold out for a COSTCO or an AM/PM?” … no, not anywhere near as simple as that – compatibility given the car being driven, is the station located at a permit-only or paid-entry parking lot to access the plug or do I need to go to a hotel parking lot, or etc., were the additional issues, of many, encountered.

To quote the C&D article – “Charging units that weren’t supposed to work did, and those that were supposed to didn’t, adding an element of chance to an equation that didn’t need any more variables.”

Given the maturity of the market in place … complete with a charging network (that no other manufacturer’s EV can use) that is consistent and defined – Tesla, Tesla, and Tesla occupied all three places on the podium.

모델 S는 한 번 슈퍼차저 충전소 네 곳을 지나쳐 멈추지 않고 이동했습니다. 운전과 충전을 포함하여 16시간 14분 만에 사무실로 돌아왔습니다. 구글 지도에 따르면 이 여정은 단 한 번도 멈추지 않고 50분 더 짧다고 합니다.

The Model Y pulled into their last charging stop after the Model 3 had hooked-up, but the the team refused to accept a third place. When the other team wasn’t paying attention, they unplugged the Model Y and took off at a furious pace, beating the 3 back to the office to claim second place on the podium.

마지막 합산, 또한 필독 기사 이런 식으로 계속되었어요: “Our drivers are split when asked whether the EV 1000 was harder or easier than expected, but most say that if they were to do the trip again, they would do one thing differently: drive a gas car. And that includes the Tesla drivers. We’ll know that the charging networks and EV technology are fully baked when we’re no longer saying that.”

Comments at the end of the article are most informative and are, on their own, worthy of a deep dive. Plug in the coffee pot and enjoy before heading out for the holidays on a family gathering destination drive in the trusty, energy supply transporting, gas-powered vehicle – no matter the current price of fuel at the pump found along the universal access grid that has been building, and in-place, over these last 100 plus years.
