nowadays, there are more and more new energy vehicles running on the road. the different use experience compared with fuel vehicles makes many people flock to new energy vehicles.

but along with it, new social problems brought by new energy vehicles are also increasing. for example, many media reports previously stated that new energy vehicles cannot be parked in basements, which is a typical example. of course, this is a social problem brought about by product attributes.

there are also some problems caused entirely by human habits. although these problems may seem like minor issues, if more than 20 million new energy car owners are like this, they will become big problems. it not only affects social order, but also endangers personal safety.

01 charging must be done to 100%

range anxiety is an unavoidable problem for every new energy vehicle owner. therefore, charging as much as possible is a habit of many obsessive-compulsive car owners. as everyone knows, this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder is not a good habit.

first of all, the battery life is limited, and overcharging and over-discharging will affect the battery life.

not only new energy vehicles, but also all products that use batteries as energy carriers, such as computers, mobile phones and other common daily necessities, are not recommended to be charged to 100% every time. charging to 80% is the most sensible and power-saving approach.

i have a friend who lost 20% of the battery life of his luxury electric car in less than two years just because it was always fully charged. this is great, the originally promised 500 kilometers is now over at 400 kilometers. would you say it's irritating or not?

20%-80% is equivalent to a "comfort zone" for the battery. just like when people eat, they feel most comfortable when they are seven to eighty percent full. for the battery, it is happiest when it is kept between 20% and 80%. this will neither overstuff it nor make it hungry.

this is not just a problem at the product level, but also at the social level.

in order to protect the battery, manufacturers often set the charging power to be significantly reduced after the battery reaches 80%, which means that the charging speed of the last 20% will be significantly reduced.

it stands to reason that this is entirely the choice of the car owner. if people are willing to spend more time and fully charge their batteries, that is their freedom. this is understandable when charging in your free time. but it would be bad if there is a concentrated outbreak of travel demand.

for example, during peak travel periods such as national day and spring festival, charging on highways often requires waiting in line. seeing that the car in front has been charged to 80%, and is still slowly moving towards 100%, the car owner behind who is anxious to charge is really going to jump.

if you encounter an impatient car owner, disputes will inevitably arise. in recent years, it is not uncommon for people to fight against charging piles in order to make money.

02 refuse to leave after charging

in addition to obsessive-compulsive disorder, "picking wool" is also a hobby of some new energy car owners.

nowadays, in order to support the development of new energy vehicles, various parts of the country often grant certain "privileges" to new energy vehicles. one of them is that charging can grant free parking for a certain period of time.

so the problem arises. some "smart" car owners often only need more than ten or twenty minutes to fully charge, but they will not move the car in time after it is fully charged, and continue to occupy the parking space and enjoy free parking time.

especially for charging piles in some shopping malls, a charging station staff member calculated that it only takes 40 minutes to fully charge a car. even if the billing starts after half an hour, it is equivalent to only about 15 yuan an hour, which is usually 15 yuan per hour. the parking fees in shopping malls are not much different. many shopping malls can also waive parking fees for two hours, so many car owners would rather park more than find other parking spaces.

if there are other new energy vehicles that need to be charged, they will not be able to find a charging space and will have to wait. some car owners simply call the car moving phone and ask the car owner to come and move the car.

this results in a greatly reduced "turnover rate" of charging piles.

as a result, many charging piles now begin to charge "occupancy fees." if a new energy vehicle is not moved after it is fully charged, a "occupancy fee" will be charged. the fee is not low and there is no cap.

some places charge dozens of yuan if charging exceeds 10 minutes. some tesla owners complained before that the charging fee was 60 yuan, but in the end they had to pay more than 1,600 yuan in space fees. therefore, car owners inevitably have to argue with the charging station management.

in the final analysis, it's all about petty gain.

03 trust smart driving and drive with hands free

among new energy car owners, most are young people. what young people like to experience most is new technology.

what best embodies the technological sense of new energy vehicles is intelligent assisted driving. especially now, intelligent driving has become a key selling point of new energy vehicles.

however, on the one hand, due to the exaggerated publicity of the manufacturers, on the other hand, there are also some car owners with ulterior motives who hope to gain traffic. we can often see videos on social platforms of new energy users experiencing smart driving.

while driving on the highway, a car owner placed a bottle of drink on the steering wheel to deceive the automatic assisted driving function's steering wheel detection, and then let the vehicle drive automatically while he slept on the rear seat;

a drunk car owner slept in the passenger seat and let the vehicle drive home automatically;

the car owner turned on autonomous driving and fell asleep on the highway. passing vehicles honked their horns multiple times to no avail;

some even deliberately create driverless scenes for some purpose in an attempt to gain attention.

such videos appear every now and then on the internet.

what needs to be emphasized is that no matter how much manufacturers boast about current smart driving, it has not yet reached the level of fully safe autonomous driving. doing this is tantamount to risking your life.

not only are you disregarding your own life, but once a vehicle is involved in an accident, it is very likely that other vehicles will be affected. this is why many vehicles on the highway will stay far away when they see a new energy vehicle. because no one knows whether the other person is driving seriously in the car.

conclusion:

new things always bring new problems. these new problems are caused by factors such as technological progress, social change, and economic transformation, as well as changes in people's behavioral habits and consumption habits. developing good car usage habits can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
