In the blink of an eye, it has been more than 2 months since the ARCFOX arrived home. First, let's talk about the car selection process
The selection process of ARCFOX Alfa T
5.26, the row of two years of the electric standard finally landed, so began to gradually focus on the tram, the earliest hope is the long-range (and 600), not false label, space for a large car (SUV priority). As the electric standard of the empire can not choose the hybrid, so like the LEADING IDEAL and other models can only be ruled out. The earliest consideration is of course the domestic brother BYD and joint venture big brother Tesla. Tesla gave up the reason is very simple, for two reasons, 1 expensive (nedc600 range in more than 30w) 2 strong kinetic energy recovery is not very adaptable. Then BYD gave up the reason Tang Song range does not meet the requirements, Han sedan is not my first choice. And still worried about the actual situation of lithium iron batteries in winter. So into the pending list.
After a month's rest, I decided to wait because I felt that after 5.26, the Beijing market was in a rush to buy cars in general (in fact, this decision was wrong because the lack of cores at the back led to lower discounts for many models, which was not as affordable as 5.26). 6, July, I started to focus on XPENG, aion V, aion lx, Hoptron 007, Geometry C, LEAPMOTOR C11, NETA U pro, and VW's The id series. The specific car selection process will not be said, focus on a few hesitant models, geometry C, space is too small, although the plate suspension, drive up quite well. The zero-run C11 test car was generally well made and was not chosen for its quality stability. NETA's car is also good, but at that time the second-line new power is not too dare to touch. The final decision was made between the aion V plus and id4.
The buying experience of ARCFOX Alfa T
So the whole process of choosing a car was not considered at the very beginning of the ARCFOX. Even at that time had not heard of this brand, until a chance to see the ARCFOX, so booked a door-to-door test drive. The only thing that caused the first hesitation was the bad reputation of BAIC. After that, I hesitated repeatedly between the aion v plus and the ARCFOX. Finally, in early October, I placed a big order and chose a ARCFOX.
After 2 weeks of waiting, the car was picked up smoothly and the next day, with the help of ARCFOX personnel, the whole process was foolproof to get the license plate. All you need to do is to bring all the documents and the car to the car. And these services are all free of charge, this praise. The whole process is very smooth, 1 pm officially get the license plate, and drive home.
The using experience of ARCFOX Alfa T
I have been driving for 1.5 months now, 2000km+ overall I can talk about the car situation of the ARCFOX. nedc653 of the ARCFOX, in my normal 4 ring commute (46-50km per day) ran 480km, the table shows the remaining 180 excellent results, according to the electricity consumption to see between 14-15, excluding 93 degrees Battery 93/15, properly run 600 + actual range. I am considered to drive more fierce, top speed limit drives the kind of. I drove for 10 days in October (46km commuting distance to work, 40-50km average use on weekends) before I had my first charge.
November weather gradually cold, the overall electricity consumption has also increased, not open air conditioning about 16-17, the end of November in Beijing, has entered the 0 degrees below the mode, after a cold night, the morning of the ARCFOX electricity consumption will be higher, generally between 18-20, if the whole air conditioning 24 degrees 2 gear basically between 20-24. Overall the air conditioner is a major consumer of electricity. Overall according to the comprehensive electricity consumption in the summer and 95 discount, 65 discount in winter is not a big problem. Overall in the summer about 610, winter 0 degrees weather 430-460.
The charging experience of ARCFOX Alfa T
Then we talk about the charging experience above, because the community just in time for the transformation of the old neighborhood, temporarily can not be installed a charging pile. From the car to now 4 times charging all in the outside of the fast charging pile charge. First of all, the conclusion that "fast-charging electricity is more false" is not valid here in the ARCFOX. Secondly, the charging speed of the ARCFOX is 120kw pile, the fastest can reach 93kw power. It takes 1 hour and 6 minutes from 18%-95%. But the last 5% voltage will drop to 10kw, so I am now basically charging to 95 on the automatic break. Of course, I found that different piles are different, it took 1 hour and 46 minutes to go from 20%-90% on a claimed 120kw charging post. And the remaining power of the temperature of this charge is better than the 1 hour and 6 minutes. So don't look at all 120kw piles, charging efficiency is still different, here is a summary of special calls, and star charging pile efficiency is higher. Some of the smaller brands are generally very low. So outside charging preferably choose a large factory.
A final brief summary of advantages and disadvantages.
The pros of ARCFOX Alfa T
- summer range real town normal open, 95 percent off in the summer, the whole winter air conditioning + seat heating 65 percent off, energy-saving mode air conditioning 22 degrees 1 party wind can go to 7 percent off, no heat pump the general level of the car.
- space is large, there is nothing to say about this 2m9 wheelbase, 1m94 car width, and ride trunk space are very rich.
- Feature-rich configuration, in addition to the steering wheel heating that has all.
- The driving quality is good. As an SUV, soft and hard suitable, nodding head side tilt control are good.
- seat heating ventilation is ass back together, unlike some cars cut corners whether ventilation or heating only ass no back.
The disadvantages of ARCFOX Alfa T
- the middle part of the rear seat bulge is not comfortable, hard I can understand but this bulge is a bit strange.
- should be equipped with a heated steering wheel as standard, after all, the 27w car, lacks a heated say.
- can not switch the single pedal while driving. Want to switch from sport/comfort/economy to single pedal need to stop the car after hanging p gear to switch, this logic is too conservative in the present. But this official response, next year OTA will release this, look forward to early release.
- m fat ps4 tires, grip enough, but tire noise control is very poor, the back of the tire age to prepare for their own 4 silent tires.
On the whole, ARCFOX compounded my expectations as well as my requirements for him.
