Ad Reichweitenangst bei E-Autos. Es kommt halt auf die Fahrweise an, aber wie!

Ich fahre seit fast 3 Jahren einen eVito und bin recht zufrieden. Es ist halt ein großes, schweres Auto und trotz 90 kWh Akku stellt damit niemand Reichweitenrekorde auf. Habe ich gedacht, bis gestern.

Laut Hersteller (WLTP) fährt das Auto 370 km weit. Das entpricht ca. 24 kWh/100km. Im Sommer schaffe ich das eigentlich immer, auch auf der Autobahn.

Im Winter bin ich hingegen froh, 300 km zu schaffen (30 kWh/100 km) - oft lande ich aber eher bei 280, na gut es will ja geheizt werden.

Und dann fahren meine Eltern mit den Enkelkindern in den Urlaub und mein Vater fährt 19.9 kWh/100 km - über 400 km Autobahn und 50 km Bundesstraße. Ich bin grade ziemlich beeindruckt.

Mein Fazit - wer nicht weit genug kommt, fährt einfach zu schnell :wink:

"Sorry, I can't come to work, my car has software updates to install."

Weirdly I have actually been looking forward to this. I know that this update includes some fairly significant improvements to the UI & UX, in particular a customisable control bar at the bottom of the screen that stays there when Android Auto or Apple CarPlay are running.

Nice to see another electric station wagon coming to Australia. Misleading headline of course, the AUD $44,000 is the starting price in China. The price of the Zeekr 7 GT will be significantly higher in Australia, but it should still end up a lot more reasonably priced than the electric wagons from Porsche, BMW and Audi.

Anyone has interesting facts / info-graphics about electric cars? (ex: including data about cost, maintenance, efficiency in converting energy into movement, range of current models, etc)

(just in case, I'm only asking for infographics / facts, thanks)

If you're wondering why an electric car even needs a 12V battery at all when it has a great big battery *right there*, the short answer is "to turn the big battery on".

When an electric car is "off" the big traction battery is disconnected, for safety. It has a separate low voltage power system to power all its auxiliary systems, including the relays that reconnect the traction battery when the driver turns the car back on. A dead 12V battery means you can't reconnect the traction battery, so you're stuck. In this sort of situation it is possible to "jump start" an electric car, though.

BYD Atto 3's had a spate of 12V battery issues when they first came to Australia, due to a combination of poor quality lead-acid batteries and bugs in the software that managed the 12V battery recharging. I gather they have since been largely resolved, and all the BYD EVs that have come to Australia since (Seal, Dolphin, Sealion 7) use LFP battery packs for their low voltage power instead and I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with those.

Study finds that EVs are 2 1/2 times less likely to break down than ICE cars.* This really should surprise no one, but given the prevalence of misinformation about EVs I bet it does.

EV drivetrains are much simpler than ICE ones. With far fewer parts, especially moving parts, there are just fewer opportunities for something to go wrong.

It's noteworthy that over half of the EV breakdowns were due to dead 12V batteries. EV manufacturers are phasing out the use of traditional lead-acid starter batteries in favour of longer lived, more reliable Lithium based batteries (my own electric car has an LFP battery pack with a dedicated battery management system) so this major cause of EV breakdowns should be less of a factor in the future.

It would be interesting to see how hybrids compare. They are the most complicated of all so other things being equal you would expect more failures.

Grid power was restored at 1.22 am (17 hours 43 minutes after it went out) but I was in bed by then so our car continued to supply power to our fridge-freezer, WiFi, etc. overnight. By the time I disconnected everything from the V2L adaptor it had been providing power for us for 24 hours and used a total of 7.2 kWh in that time, leaving the car battery at 91%.

The V2L adaptor goes back into its storage spot in the sub-basement of the boot, and I've decided to keep one of the 30 metre extension cords and the power board box in the frunk just in case I need them when on the road.

So far so good. The scheduled power outage started about 7:40 am, but I was able to quickly restore power to the fridge-freezer, the NBN box & WiFi router, the lizard's heat lamp and lighting, and my working from home monitor, laptop, etc.

I have the Vehicle-to-Load adaptor plugged into the car, two extra heavy duty 30 metre long extension cables plugged onto that inside a weatherproof power board box, and a mess of additional power boards and extension cords inside the house. Fortunately, apart from the fridge which is directly connected to the V2L adaptor, it's all very low power so having lots of long cables will be OK.

Being able to work from home pretty much as I normally do on Wednesdays is nice, but not having to worry about everything in the freezer defrosting is really, really nice.

Range anxiety? Not me!

This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to < 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.
