Absolute speed 100+! Did the range of XPeng G9 collapse?

Let's cut to the chase:

1. Starting with 4WD top configuration, CLTC576 (Start), ended at 39, total mileage consumption is CLTC537 kilometers.

2. A total of 431.9 kilometers are driven on the highway with a driving time of 255 minutes and an absolute average speed of 101.62 kilometers/hour (the absolute average speed of 100 is already fast, and basically, on the highway, it exceeds 120 while overtaking continuously. Currently, the average speed of the tested media exceeding 100 is still very rare).

3. Displayed energy consumption: 18.4. 432/537=80.44%, simply put: G9 has 20% range loss at high speed.

The following is the detailed process:

1. Before departure, we charged the CLTC to 576 kilometers, which is 90% of the battery pack. This is actually considered to imitate daily work conditions more, because battery health protection will remind everyone to try not to fully charge it, so it is set to charge to 90% and see how far it can go under normal working conditions.

2. Switch to standard mode with air conditioning at 23 degrees and fan in the first gear. Manual driving on the highway (the assisted driving software is not open), with speed limited to 120 kilometers per hour on the highway, and a certain section of Shanghai-Wuhan Expressway has a speed limit of 100 kilometers for about 30 kilometers.

3. At 101.2 kilometers, 117 kilometers of cruising range were used, with a fulfillment rate of 86.49% and an absolute speed of 106.5 kilometers/hour.

4. At 202.6 kilometers, 244 kilometers of cruising range were used, with a fulfillment rate of 83.03% and an absolute speed of 103.01 kilometers/hour.

5. At 302.6 km, the range of 371 km was achieved with a fulfillment rate of 81.56% and an absolute speed of 102.58 km/h.

6. At 401.5 km, the range of 505 km was achieved with a fulfillment rate of 79.50% and an absolute speed of 102.08 km/h.

7. Finally, at 431.9 km, the range of 537 km was achieved with a fulfillment rate of 80.44% and an absolute speed of 101.62 km/h.

Therefore, the energy consumption of G9 is actually very good. As a mid-to-large SUV, achieving an energy consumption of 18 on the highway is almost the same as my photoelectric test when I tested P7 three years ago, but the difference in wind resistance between the two is almost worlds apart.

It can be seen that XPeng Motors has actually put a lot of effort into electric power in recent years. It not only leads in intelligence, but also continuously strengthens its efforts in electrification. The SIC high-voltage electric drive system equipped on the G9 achieves a comprehensive efficiency of 90.5%. How does this result compare with the other two leading companies? See below:

Also, one experience I had is that age catches up with us. When I tested P7 three years ago, I used three pulse bottles. This time, I only used two. It seems that my metabolism has really slowed down. Well~, it looks like if you take G9 out, you will need to go to the bathroom more often than charge it…

So, what do you think of G9’s range performance? Let’s discuss in the comments section.
