Xiaomi YU7 High-Altitude Driving Tips
Q: I plan to drive a Xiaomi YU7 to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the National Day holiday. What should I pay attention to when driving at high altitudes?
A: Driving an electric vehicle to explore China’s frontiers is very cool. EVs have inherent advantages such as fast power response and low operating costs in high-altitude regions. Before your trip, we recommend checking the vehicle condition and planning your itinerary and charging routes in advance. During the journey, be mindful of the impact of low temperatures and continuous uphill climbs on battery range, and protect the undercarriage when driving over uneven roads. First, you can use the “Autumn Vehicle Care Service” to conduct a full “check-up” of your car to ensure safety before long-distance travel. For charging, it’s advisable to plan your itinerary and charging routes in advance to avoid running out of power. When the estimated remaining range drops below 50km, activate “Super Power Saving Mode” to extend range and search for nearby charging stations. Xiaomi has connected over 1.5 million charging points nationwide to its network and partnered with 26 high-quality industry operators, ensuring charging support for long trips. The main challenges of high-altitude regions—low temperature and air pressure—affect EV range, charge/discharge performance, battery pack sealing, and air suspension regulation. However, rest assured that whether it’s the Xiaomi SU7, SU7 Ultra, or YU7, all models have undergone thorough road tests and durability testing before launch, ensuring normal functionality in extreme conditions (heat, cold, high altitudes, etc.) to accompany you to distant places.
