From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 146 BYD Car Owner: Did I just encounter a ghost?

"Hey Fatty, stop keeping me in suspense, okay?"

"What, is your car usage report different from others?"

"I don't believe it. If there really was some hidden cutting-edge technology, President Xu would have mentioned it at the press conference long ago. He even said that the screen is 0.7 inches larger than that of a Maybach. How could he possibly keep it a secret?"

"That's it."

……

A barrage of comments scrolled by.

Xu Yi's statement, "Our screen is 0.7 inches larger than a Maybach's," has become a famous meme in the automotive industry.

Some people have even turned it into memes.

It's widely circulated in various forums and groups, and it's incredibly catchy.

Some people, just by seeing this meme, can't help but think of Xu Yi's voice.

how to say.

Some people think it's too extravagant and criticize domestic car manufacturers for having no bottom line in their advertising, even going so far as to put down luxury cars at a press conference.

Some people didn't care, since it was indeed 0.7 inches bigger, and besides, Xingchen Motors didn't fake anything.

There's no false advertising involved!
The duality of traffic.

For every person who praises it, there will be someone who criticizes it; the overall reach is very wide.

However, all of Xingchen Motors' boasts are based on facts and it has solid technology, so there is no possibility of it backfiring.

"I'm not exaggerating, this cutting-edge technology is related to charging, but not the dual-gun charging that was introduced at the press conference. Instead, we found that the charging efficiency of the Starry Sky S7 on a single charging station is simply ridiculously high..."

Yang Li chuckled.

He's been posting updates about Star Auto very frequently lately.

Because of this Xingchen Motors – it is "good"!
Building affordable, high-quality cars for the people!
Build better new energy vehicles for the country!

...

Okay, enough of this nonsense. It's simply that Xingchen Auto provides more benefits and also offers higher traffic.

Whether it's posting related updates or doing these live streams.

Any topic related to Xingchen Automotive tends to garner exceptionally high attention and commentary!

That's really weird!

But that's what it is.

Even many owners of gasoline-powered cars and ordinary passersby came over to watch the spectacle.

Don’t you think this is strange?
Moreover, these owners of gasoline-powered cars and ordinary passersby all said that they would not buy Xingchen Motors in the short term, or even any new energy vehicles; they were just looking around.

Then Yang Li realized what was happening.

Recently, Xingchen Automotive has been generating a lot of buzz as a domestic car brand, especially the Xingchen S7, which sells for as much as 200,000 yuan and is still selling like hotcakes.

What concept?
Whether in the new energy vehicle sector or the entire automotive industry, this sets a new benchmark for domestically produced cars.

Don't be fooled by the fact that most people say domestic cars are inferior and no good in any way.

In terms of durability and fuel efficiency, it can't compare to Japanese cars; in terms of mechanical quality and advanced chassis, it can't compare to German cars; and in terms of powerful performance, it can't compare to American muscle cars.

People are criticizing me everywhere!

But if a domestically produced car really becomes popular, the general public will be willing to pay attention to it.

It's just like the Chinese national football team. How many years has it been? How many years have we been criticizing them?
They must be tired of criticizing by now.

As a result, people still complain every year!

Most of the time, it stems from a feeling of disappointment and frustration.

If domestically produced cars are truly well-made and their achievements are not the result of deception, then many people would applaud them.

As for anything over 300,000, let's not even talk about that.

Currently, domestically produced cars are indeed unable to break into the luxury car market.

For cars priced above 300,000, neither domestic automakers nor emerging players account for more than 5% of sales, and their push into the high-end market is still a long way off.

So, on the other hand...

The Starry Sky S7 is a very good car in the 200,000 yuan price range. As a car reviewer who has been in the car industry for many years, Yang Li is willing to say more about it.

He stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

"How high exactly? With a 60KW charging station, Xingchen Auto can maintain a peak charging speed of over 55KW for more than half the time."

According to our tests, most new energy vehicles are lucky to maintain peak charging efficiency for 5-10 minutes...

Second.

The most outrageous thing is this Xingchen Auto; it can even steal power! Even with two cars charging at the same charging station, the Xingchen Auto will always be the one charging the fastest, monopolizing most of the charging station's power!

These words shocked most people.

"Holy crap? Stealing electricity... That's so blatant!!"

"Pfft, how obsessed are Xingchen Motors with charging? Not only does it have dual-gun charging, does that mean normal single-gun charging also has special benefits? It's just a charging function, is it really necessary to make it so extravagant? They might as well add some features elsewhere."

"Dude, are you stupid? If you don't put effort into charging your new energy vehicle, where do you put effort into it? Charging a new energy vehicle is like a person needing to eat. If you don't have a fixed parking space in the city, you can only go to a public charging station to charge it. On average, you have to charge it every few days. In a year, you'll charge it at least 80 or 90 times, if not 100. With other configurations, how many times a year can you use it?"

"Wait a minute... this feature sounds familiar. Isn't this BYD's dynamic boost technology? It's BYD's exclusive trump card. How come Xingchen Auto has it too?"

"Yeah! It seems like the Dizi has this feature too. You mean the Starry Sky S7 charges even faster than the Dizi?"

……

The "auto experts" present eagerly took the opportunity to speak.

Among them are many BYD car owners.

"We actually tested that."

Yang Li added, "To be honest, Xingchen Motors is the fastest charging new energy vehicle we've ever tested. Even BYD can't compete!"

He certainly has grounds for saying that.

Long-term test videos like these don't just talk about the vehicle's configuration; they simply show the chassis structure and that's it.

It focuses more on the deeper experience, such as the comfort details after long-term driving, and the pain points encountered when using the car. These are things that cannot be seen from the configuration and can only be appreciated by long-term car owners.

The charging problem was discovered by chance.

The result was astonishing!
The charging speed of this Starry Sky S7 is outrageous!
It consumes almost all the power it can, and maintains its peak power for a long time!
Anyone familiar with the current state of the charging industry knows that achieving this requires significant technical expertise and cost!
Let's take the simplest example: mobile phone manufacturers.

The charging power advertised at the press conference has been increased from 80W to 120W.

It turns out that the 120w figure refers to the peak value.

In reality, the steady-state charging power only stays at 30-45W for most of the time, which is not much of an improvement compared to 80W fast charging.

Or perhaps...

The initial model could achieve fast charging, but shortly after, a version update secretly limited the charging power.

Models that can consistently maintain peak charging power are quite rare.

The charging situation for new energy vehicles is more complex than that of the mobile phone industry. On the one hand, they have higher power and require higher heat dissipation and temperature control.

On the other hand, although all charging ports can be used with the national standard, the charging protocols of different manufacturers are still different.

"Even more awesome than Dizi?"

"Fatty, you'll get flamed if you say that."

"I'm a BYD owner, and I've confirmed that this blogger is a die-hard fan of BYD. He'll say anything to get paid. I've never seen anyone who can compete with BYD in terms of charging efficiency."

……

"Don't you believe me? Let me test it right here..."

"Isn't there a BYD owner charging over there? I'll go over there, plug in my car, and turn it on. Guess what will happen?"

Yang Li immediately laughed when he saw someone questioning him.

The charging station he is currently at has two public charging stations.

One car was already charging at that time.

can be seen.

It was a BYD e6, and the owner was still inside, sitting and playing mobile games while enjoying the air conditioning. Yang Li drove over, reversed the car towards the charging station, and then got out to unplug the charger.

Throughout the entire process, the BYD car owner was probably too engrossed in the game, as he didn't lift his head even once while sitting in the car.

"Look, I'm clicking to start charging now, and in less than three minutes, the car next to me will definitely be unable to sit still."

Yang Li suppressed a laugh.

It turns out that people always enjoy doing bad things.

He checked the charging status on his phone.

The finger had just touched the button.

On the large screen of the Starry Sky S7, the charging power display shows that it is connecting, and then the charging speed soars from 0KW...15KW...35KW.

In the end, it settled on the astonishing number "51KW"!
The charging power changes at an astonishing rate.

The entire live stream was completely dumbfounded!

Keep in mind that this is a charging station with a total power of 60KW.

In other words, no matter how many cars are charging together, the total power will not exceed 60KW.

"Dude..."

"No, 51kW...it's already at peak charging as soon as I plug it in??"

"Is the BYD owner next to me not charging it?"

"According to the information, the total power of this charging station is 60kW. When two cars are charging together, the power will be split. If the charging power of Fatty's car reaches 51kW, then what is the difference between 60kW and 51kW for the other car?"

……

"Holy crap... how did the charging speed drop to 8KW?!"

inside the car.

The BYD car owner glanced at the power output out of the corner of his eye.

I was completely stunned!

His eyes looked like he'd seen a ghost!

Then I checked the battery level again, and it was still at 55%.

Normally, this level of charge is still within the peak charging range.

Simultaneously.

He also noticed an unfamiliar new energy vehicle parked next to him.

As we all know, charging stations have dynamic power distribution capabilities, with one station having two charging guns and a fixed power limit.

The total power is 60KW, which is usually split in half.

However, as a BYD car owner, you can often get 46 or 37 points, and you can charge faster than others.

BYD vehicles have a higher power output than other cars when using the same charging station, a fact widely acknowledged by car owners.

And now.

What did he see?
The car was plugged in not long ago, why did its power drop to 8KW?

"Damn, is there something wrong with this charging station? Is there a bad connection?"

The BYD car owner looked puzzled and muttered to himself.

That's right.

He didn't suspect the car next to him, but rather suspected that there was something wrong with the charging station.

After all, based on past experience, who can compete with BYD car owners in terms of battery power?

You're saying that the car next to him stole all his power?
—He laughed.

That's impossible.

He got out of the car.

He drew his gun and fired it again.

……

"Look, look! He moved... I'll stop charging now, and then start it again in a while. Let's see how he reacts." Yang Li grinned mischievously.

"Holy crap, it's true! The BYD driver actually got out of the car!"

"Ouch, I can't take it anymore, my stomach is going to hurt from laughing!!"

"Fatty, why are you so mean? This guy is going to have an existential crisis."

"Don't blame Fatty. This BYD driver seems to suspect there's something wrong with the charging station, and doesn't even suspect that there's an extra car next to him. If he were suspicious, he should have knocked on the window and asked."

"Hahahaha, I'm totally convinced!!!"

……

As Yang Li stopped charging.

The BYD owner returned to his car and checked the display—

Current charging power: 48KW

"It's alright now. It turned out to be a problem with the State Grid's charging pile connection."

"That car next to me is so pitiful. It probably only has 10KW of charging power left. I'm afraid I'll have to find another place to charge it later."

His brows relaxed, and a secret sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

really.

When it comes to charging, BYD car owners are unbeatable!!

But this feeling of invincibility didn't last long.

next second.

Charging power drops sharply!

55KW——44KW——28KW——12KW! !
Sudden changes.

This caused the BYD car owner's eyes to widen, his face filled with disbelief!
question…

stunned!

A bewildered look in his eyes!
"Holy crap! Is this some kind of ghost story?!"

...

"Hey bro, can you check the charging power? It seems a bit off..."

"I think there's something wrong with this charging station. It just won't charge. Look at your own charging power; it's less than 20kW, and this is a 60kW station."

The BYD driver got out of the car, and with a puzzled look on his face, he knocked on Yang Li's car window and asked.

It even had a tone of kind reminder.

There was still not a shred of doubt.

Yes.

There must be something wrong with the pile.

These are garbage power grid poles!
Why is the charging power fluctuating?

He saw the car next to him, which was also a new car.

So, out of kindness, I came over to remind them.

Also, check the other party's charging power.

Based on his estimation, it should be less than twenty.

As for the possibility that the other party stole his electricity, he only had a fleeting thought in his mind before dismissing it.

joke.
