The cruising range in urban areas is quite satisfactory. Just in time for the weekend, I plan to take the children out to play, and take a look at its high-speed performance by the way. Because the time is relatively late, I have to get up early the next day, and I am assured of the ability of the Yuan EV535, so I only charged to 91% of the power, and did not continue to charge.

In order to avoid the peak traffic flow out of Beijing, at 5 o’clock in the morning the next day, we went directly to the East Fifth Ring Road, took the Daguang Expressway, and went straight to Baiyangdian Scenic Area. The whole journey was 178 kilometers, and the car was fully loaded (3 adults, 2 children), and flew all the way to the scenic spot. It shows that the remaining power is 29%. Turn on “e charging” and search for nearby public charging piles. The distance is 12.7 kilometers, and on the way back, there is no need to worry at all, and you can go to play happily.

After a round of fun, we enjoyed the delicious miscellaneous fish pot at Baiyangdian and prepared to return. Find a charging station near the stadium and start charging. I couldn’t help but make a little complaint. At the beginning, the charging was very fast, but after the power reached 85%, the speed dropped significantly, so it was still not fully charged, and it reached 86%, so I returned directly. After entering the Beijing border on the return journey, the number of vehicles increased significantly, and the vehicles also started to stop and go. When I got home, I found that there was still 38% of the battery left.

From a one-week use experience, the launch of EV535 is not only more satisfying in terms of cruising range, but also the brand-new design of the interior makes people see the manufacturer’s intentions and sincerity.
