All right, let's talk about living with an electric car in the winter.

好的，我們來聊聊在冬季與電動車共處的生活。

祈使句型

So I've been seeing a lot of people saying electric cars are bad in the winter and that's why they could never own one.

所以，我看到很多人說電動車在冬天表現不好，這就是他們為什麼永遠不可能擁有一輛的原因。

It's actually a pretty common thing that I hear talked about a lot and I wanted to talk a little bit about that.

這其實是個很常見的說法，我聽很多人討論過，所以我想稍微聊一下這個話題。

I've been driving and living with an electric car for a bunch of winters now.

我已經開著電動車、體驗過好幾個冬天了。

This here is my tried and true tested Gen 1 Rivian R1T and a couple, I think three or four winters now at this point.

這是我經過實際測試、值得信賴的第一代 Rivian R1T，到現在大概有三、四個冬天了。

For those who don't know, in New Jersey winters get down to like the twenties, sometimes the tens, the teens, even single digits.

給不知道的人，紐澤西的冬天溫度會降到二十幾度，有時候十幾度、個位數。

That's Fahrenheit by the way, for Celsius people.

順帶一提，這是華氏溫度，給習慣攝氏的朋友參考。

I think when I got in the car this morning it said it was like 7 degrees or something like that.

我想我今天早上進車子的時候，它顯示大概是七度左右。

It's cold enough that when you first get in the car and fire it up, you get that little message down in the corner that says, hey, it is so cold that you can expect your range to be limited and performance to be a little bit less just because of how freezing it is.

冷到你一進車子發動後，角落會跳出一個小訊息，說因為天氣實在太冷了，預期你的續航里程和性能都會稍微下降。

But now that I've been living with this EV in the winter for like I said, a couple of years now, my maybe hot take is I prefer driving the EV in the winter over the gas cars.

不過，就像我說的，我已經開著這臺電動車體驗好幾個冬天了，我可能會有點驚人的看法是，我反而比較喜歡在冬天開電動車，而不是燃油車。

And there's definitely pros and cons, there's upsides and downsides to it.

當然有好有壞，有優點也有缺點。

So I figured I'd just walk you through that.

所以我想就來帶大家一起看看。

What it's like owning and living with an EV when it's very cold and there's real winter and whether or not you can do it too.

擁有電動車並在嚴寒的冬天生活是什麼感覺，以及你是否也能做到。

So the number one thing that obviously everybody kind of already knows about electric cars in the winter that I said already is your range will be worse.

所以，大家最關心的，也是我剛剛提到的，關於電動車在冬季的表現，就是你的續航里程會變差。

So for example, this Rivian R1T I've had, it's got like 20,000 miles on it or something like that on a full charge.

舉例來說，我這臺 Rivian R1T 已經開了大概兩萬英里，滿電的狀態下。

裝上越野輪胎後，表現還不錯。

But in the winter as I'm driving, I've noticed it's closer to 230 to 240 miles of range if I drive the exact same way.

但在冬天開車時，我發現如果開法完全一樣，續航里程會縮短到大約 230 到 240 英里。

And when it gets really, really cold, it can plummet down to like 200 or even less than that.

而當天氣真的非常非常冷時，續航里程可能會驟降到 200 英里，甚至更少。

So yes, you are definitely affected by range.

所以，沒錯，你的續航里程確實會受到影響。

And this is probably the number two factor, aside from literally how you're driving, how fast you're driving, the aerodynamic resistance, all the normal factors.

這大概是第二個影響因素，除了你實際的開車方式、開多快、空氣動力學阻力，所有正常因素之外。

This is like if it's cold, you're gonna have a big hit to your range.

就像是，如果天氣冷，你的續航里程就會大打折扣。

And then number two, right alongside that is charging can be slower.

然後第二點，跟剛剛說的差不多，充電也會比較慢。

I just recently did a video on the Ioniq 5 XRT, this little off road version of the Ioniq 5.

我最近做了一個關於 Ioniq 5 XRT 的影片，就是 Ioniq 5 的越野版本。

Testing it in the winter and driving it, really liking it.

在冬天測試它、開著它，我真的很喜歡。

But one thing that came up was that it was slower charging.

但其中一個出現的問題是充電變慢了。

And it could have been partially because it is so cold out here, not entirely because of the cold, but

這可能部分是因為這裡天氣真的很冷，不完全是因為冷，但是

The battery pack wants to be a certain temperature to charge at its best, most efficient rates.

電池組需要達到一定的溫度才能以最高效率充電。

And if it's not, it has to spend extra energy getting up to that temperature or if it's hot, down to that temperature.

如果沒有達到，它就必須花費額外的能量來升溫，或者如果太熱，就要降溫。

所以續航里程變少，充電也變慢。

I think for a lot of owners, here's the other side of that coin, is if you are able to charge in a garage, obviously a lot of people do street parking and they don't have a garage, but

我想對很多車主來說，另一個角度是，如果你可以在車庫充電，當然很多人是路邊停車沒有車庫，但是

if you live with an EV and you're able to charge in a garage, then you're powering up every night to 80 or 90 or 100% charge.

如果你家裡有電動車，而且你可以在車庫充電，那你就每天晚上都充到 80%、90% 或 100% 的電。

And so you start every single day with a full battery, which is enough for your regular drive or your commute.

所以你每天開始時都有滿電，這足以應付你平常的開車或通勤。

And so whether you have 300 miles of range or 200 or 100, as long as it's more than you need that day for your commute, and

所以不管你的續航里程是 300 英里、200 英里或 100 英里，只要比你每天通勤需要的還多，而且

then you drive home and then you charge up overnight and you get back to where you started, then it doesn't actually affect the day to day too much.

然後你開車回家，晚上再充電，回到你開始的地方，其實對日常影響不大。

If you have a long drive, that's when it becomes more of a planning issue, more of a challenge, especially when it's this cold.

如果你有長途駕駛，那就會變成一個規劃問題，一個挑戰，尤其是在這麼冷的天氣。

But I've actually found that I don't mind that particular downside very much because I have charger in the garage.

但我發現我其實不太在意這個缺點，因為我有車庫充電。

Of course, if you don't, that is a much bigger concern.

當然，如果你沒有，那就會是個大問題。

Never having to go to a gas station again is really such a double edged sword because obviously when it's freezing outside, you don't want to go to a gas station, get out and pump the gas and have to stand out there for a minute or two or three or four or whatever it is.

再也不用去加油站，這真是把雙面刃，因為很明顯，在外面結冰的時候，你不想去加油站，下車加油，還要站在那裡一兩分鐘或三四分鐘， whatever。

Actually in New Jersey you don't have to do that, but that's beside the point.

不過在新澤西州其實你不用這樣做，但這不是重點。

But that also means that for road trips it is the worst case scenario.

但這也意味著，如果是長途旅行，那就是最糟的情況了。

I get why there's a lot of people that have like one gas car and one ev, because for the road trips, the gas car is still going to make so much more sense when it gets this cold and when it's wintry and when your range starts dropping that much and it takes longer to charge, it just, it compiles over time.

我明白為什麼很多人會有一臺燃油車還有一臺電動車，因為長途旅行時，在這麼冷的天氣、這麼多雪的狀況下，而且你的續航里程開始大幅下降、充電時間變長，這些都會隨著時間累積，燃油車還是比較合理。

And if you have multiple charging stops and you're sitting and you're waiting even longer than usual to charge, it makes road trips even worse than they already were compared to gas cars.

如果你要在路上多停幾次充電站，而且你還要花比平常更長的時間等待充電，這會讓長途旅行比原本就已經比較差的情況，變得更糟，跟燃油車比起來。

So it's just, it diminishes the road trip fun factor so much when it gets super cold like this.

所以，當天氣這麼冷的時候，它大大降低了長途旅行的樂趣。

But for every other normal commute or everyday driving, it's so much better to not ever have to go to a gas station.

但對於所有其他的日常通勤或一般駕駛來說，不用再去加油站真是好太多了。

But now here's some other things you probably haven't heard about owning an EV in the winter because they don't get talked about as much.

不過現在，我還要跟你分享一些你可能沒聽過的，關於冬天擁有電動車的其他事情，因為這些比較少被討論到。

The first thing is you can preheat it anywhere, no matter what, whether it's in an enclosed garage or outside.

第一點是，你隨時都可以預先加熱它，不管在哪裡，不管是在封閉的車庫裡還是在外面。

There's a lot of gas cars that you can preheat too.

You have remote start and you can heat them up for wherever.

你有遠端啟動，而且可以在任何地方加熱它們。

But if it's in a garage, you don't want to do that because then you're burning gas in an enclosed space.

但如果是在車庫裡，你就不該這麼做，因為那樣等於在密閉空間燃燒汽油。

You can preheat an EV from anywhere, wherever, whenever.

你可以在任何地方、任何時間預先加熱電動車。

It gets the battery also preconditioned and it gets it ready to go and warmed up before you actually get in and drive.

這也能預先調節電池，讓它在你實際開車前就準備好、熱起來。

So you get into a warm car with everything heated up and ready to go, and

所以你進到車裡時，車子已經熱好，一切就緒，

even if you don't preheat it, I found that in the winter, the three to five minutes that it takes for your gas engine to start to warm up and get things going and then for the heater to start blowing hot, hot air.

即使你沒有預先加熱，我發現冬天時，燃油車需要三到五分鐘的時間，引擎才會啟動、運轉，然後暖氣才會開始吹出熱風。

In an EV, that's more like 15 to 30 seconds tops.

在電動車裡，這大概只需要十五到三十秒。

Usually a couple of seconds you can get into a totally ice cold EV and turn up the heat and it's almost instantly blowing hot air.

通常幾秒鐘內，你就可以進入一輛完全冰冷的電動車，打開暖氣，幾乎瞬間就能吹出熱風。

in the winter, when you want your hands on the, you know, heated steering wheel and all that, and

冬天時，當你想要把手放在，你知道的，加熱方向盤上時，

the heated seats, like that's, that's a pretty big thing.

加熱座椅，這點，這點真的很棒。

And then the next thing is actually driving.

So if you're just driving on pavement, on regular streets, you probably don't have to think about this too much.

所以如果你只是在柏油路上、一般街道上開車，你可能不太需要考慮這點。

if there's a lot of snow, if there's A lot of ice, sleet, random other weird road surface things that happen in the winter like they do here.

如果有很多雪、有很多冰、霰，或是像這裡冬天時常會遇到的其他奇怪路面狀況。

Ev's actually great for this because they have incredible levels of traction control.

電動車在這方面其實很棒，因為它們有非常出色的循跡控制能力。

They are heavier so you're not trying to corner or do anything sporty.

車子比較重，所以你不會想去過彎或做什麼運動化的操控。

But because electronic traction control from an EV can adjust the motors hundreds, sometimes thousands of times per second, you have much more precise levels of TC and and much more precise levels of control over how it drives.

但因為電動車的電子循跡控制每秒可以調整馬達數百次，有時甚至數千次，所以你的循跡控制和操控的精準度都會高很多。

So if I'm just in normal mode in this Rivian, for example, it can hold traction or get me out of conditions that a gas pickup truck sometimes can't.

所以如果我以這臺 Rivian 為例，在一般模式下，它能保持循跡，或是在某些情況下脫困，是汽油貨卡有時做不到的。

There's videos I've seen online of people with Rivians pulling F150s out of the snow, pulling semi trucks out of the snow because they have this incredible level of traction control.

我在網路上看過一些影片，有人開 Rivian 把 F150 從雪地裡拉出來，把半拖車從雪地裡拉出來，因為它們有這種超讚的循跡控制能力。

So I thought that was really interesting.

And then also since it's a computer on wheels, you have these modes built in.

而且因為它是一臺「輪子上的電腦」，所以內建了這些模式。

If you fire this up, you have snow mode, obviously just did the video on that xrt.

如果你啟動它，你會看到雪地模式，我剛剛就做了相關的影片。

Hyundai's also got a snow mode, all these all terrain modes that can really modulate the level of slip and the level of traction control that you want.

Hyundai 也有雪地模式，所有這些全地形模式都能真正調節你想要的打滑程度和循跡控制的等級。

And yeah, the computer on wheels just does its thing.

對，這臺「輪子上的電腦」就是會自動處理。

So I have found EVs to be much better at being under control in horrible road conditions like active snow, blizzards, whiteouts and stuff like that.

我發現電動車在惡劣路況下，像是積雪、暴風雪、白茫茫一片等等，更能保持穩定。

Now you might have noticed I mentioned that this is a first gen Rivian R1T and I've done a video both on this first gen and also the second generation Rivians.

你可能已經注意到我提到這是第一代的 Rivian R1T，我已經做過第一代和第二代 Rivian 的影片了。

And one of the big differences between them is the second generation Rivians have a heat pump.

它們之間一個很大的差別是，第二代 Rivian 有熱泵。

So the front trunk in the second generation Rivian's is a little bit smaller than this first gen because right in the back here is a slightly bigger heat pump.

所以第二代 Rivian 的前行李箱比這一代小一點，因為這裡後面有一個稍微大一點的熱泵。

And that heat pump is used to be much more efficient and heat up more quickly in the winter when it's cold.

這個熱泵在冬季寒冷時，能更有效率且更快地加熱。

So I found the second generation can handle extreme cold a little bit better.

所以我發現第二代更能應付極度寒冷的天氣。

To me it still heats up pretty quick and still does an okay job in this Rivian.

對我來說，這臺 Rivian 還是加熱得很快，表現也還不錯。

But the newer ones with the heat pumps usually do even better.

不過有熱泵的新車型通常表現更好。

in the winter in an electric car you can just get in the car and just go.

但在冬季的電動車裡，你只要上車就可以直接出發了。
