Dialogue with WM First Owners | Video
After three months, Benson, the first owner of the WM in Shanghai, has completed his first maintenance for his EX5.
With the continuous increase in delivery volume, WM welcomed its first winter.
The performance of electric vehicles in “range” and “charging” is also testing new owners’ understanding of how to use electric vehicles as the temperature changes.
This time, Benson and I set out from Shanghai with a full charge in two WM EX5 400s and drove 170km back and forth to Xitang Ancient Town in Jiashan. We attempted to keep the energy consumption of the EX5 as low as possible under reasonable driving conditions. Therefore, during the process, we maintained 2 gears of energy recovery and Eco driving mode, and the speed on the high-speed section basically remained at 95-105km/h.
We also tried to explore how much the heated air conditioning of the EX5 affects winter range, so the only difference in driving mode between Benson and me during the nearly 200km trip was that he turned on the air conditioning and I did not!
As the percentage of battery power displayed on the vehicle is not accurate enough, at the end of the trip, we carried out a fast charge and calculated the final energy consumption value based on the actual amount of electricity charged and the information on the mileage indicator, to give you the most accurate answer.
During the fast charging, there were also different changes in charging power between Benson and me. Benson’s maximum charging power reached 50kW, while mine stayed at 22kW. The video will interpret whether it is necessary to choose the WM electric heating system worth 2,880 yuan as an option.
