Hot discussion among netizens:
Comment: It’s not surprising that the Zhijie S7 has been hotly discussed. It is not only the first model jointly created by Huawei and Chery, but also the first sedan in Huawei’s smart car selection business. What's more important is that this player's "powerfulness" can be described as full! Huawei is responsible for the product definition, development, and quality control of Smart World S7, as well as post-launch retail, delivery, and post-production OTA.

#Many car companies question understand the car emperor’s winter test#
Number of reads: 43.31 million
Event review: Recently, the automotive industry’s winter testing of new energy vehicles has triggered heated discussions. Many car company executives, including AITO Motors, Great Wall Motors, and Geely Automobile, directly raised questions on the winter testing process, standards, and results of Undercover Car Emperor on Weibo. question.
Hot discussion among netizens:
Comment: It may seem easy to evaluate or test a car, but in fact it is a very rigorous matter that should not be mixed with any other factors. Absolute objectivity may not be achieved, but at least we must ask ourselves and have a clear conscience.
There will be a very big difference in the use of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles in winter. This is actually the reason why the media competes to test new energy vehicles in winter. Battery characteristics cause trams to experience relatively large shrinkage in winter. With the advancement of technology, this situation should be gradually improved. This is what was measured.
Consumers are watching whether your battery life, battery thermal management, and other parts can withstand the test in low-temperature environments. As an influential media test, once the results are announced, they will naturally have a great impact on specific models. Impact. The manufacturer expressed dissatisfaction with the results of the media test this time, not only because of the poor final results, but also because of the concentrated testing process and specific operations.
Even if you think about it, you can understand that when a new energy vehicle comes off the factory, it will be pure electric, plug-in hybrid or extended range. They have been tested in various environments, including low temperature testing. Finally, the cruising range and feed fuel consumption data are available. If manufacturers dare to falsify and falsely mark data, how can we talk about fairness? Isn't China's automobile industry digging its own grave? In other words, one family can do this, but will everyone do the same?
When looking at the problem, you must pay attention to the point. Car companies are not vegetarians. In front of experts, these problems are like lice on a bald man's head, they are obvious. This also leads to the situation mentioned earlier. Therefore, taken together, it is easy to understand the initiative proposed by Great Wall Motors to jointly build new energy testing standards. Therefore, if a multi-car evaluation does not strictly treat each car according to unified standards, or if there are many human factors involved in the evaluation results, then the results will definitely not be objective enough.
