When consumers buy electric vehicles, they will compare the acceleration performance, battery capacity and endurance mileage of the three electric system of electric vehicles. Therefore, a new term “mileage anxiety” has been born, which means that they are worried about the mental pain or anxiety caused by sudden power failure when driving electric cars. Therefore, we can imagine how much trouble the endurance of electric vehicles has brought to users.Today, Tesla CEO Musk communicated his latest views on mileage when communicating with fans on the social network. He thought: it’s meaningless to have a too high mileage!

Musk said Tesla could have produced a 600 mile (965 km) model S 12 months ago, but it was not necessary at all. Because it makes acceleration, handling and efficiency worse. Greater mileage usually means that the electric vehicle needs to install more batteries and heavier mass, which will greatly reduce the interesting driving experience of electric automobie, while 400 miles (643 kilometers) can balance the use experience and efficiency.

Shen Hui, CEO of China’s new power automobile brand Weima, immediately released a microblog to agree with Musk’s point of view. Shen Hui said that “higher endurance is based on larger battery packs. If all cars run on the road with a large battery pack on their back, to some extent, it is actually a waste”. He believes that there are more and more charging piles, more and more energy supplement means and more efficient, which is enough to eliminate the charging anxiety of electric vehicle owners.
For a long time in the past, battery mileage was the most concerned parameter when electric vehicles launched new products. Many manufacturers directly regarded it as a product highlight and competitive track. It’s true that Musk’s view is also reasonable. If the battery increases due to the large mileage, it will really lose some driving experience. The fuel tank capacity of most fuel vehicles is really 500-700 kilometers, which is equivalent to the 640 kilometers Musk said. There seems to be no reason to pursue high mileage.
The view that the mileage is too high is meaningless is very fresh and special. Netizens hold different views. Many netizens say that “high mileage can only reduce the number of times of endurance anxiety”, “the key is that the endurance is not allowed. Say 500, in fact, it’s good to go to 300. The tanker says 500, but it’s really 500″.
Traditional fuel vehicles can fill up the fuel tank in a few minutes after entering the fuel station, while electric vehicles need to wait for some time to fill up the electric energy. In fact, in addition to the mileage, the comprehensive performance of battery density and charging efficiency is the root of mileage anxiety. On the other hand, it is also a good thing for higher battery density and smaller volume to obtain higher mileage.
