Xiaomi SU7 24 – hour Endurance Challenge
Q: What is the “24 – hour endurance challenge”? Why is the “24 – hour endurance challenge” carried out?
A: The “24 – hour endurance challenge” draws on the Le Mans 24 – hour Endurance Race. It means that the vehicle continuously drives at a very high speed on a closed test track in the way of “changing people but not the vehicle”, and the time consumed for charging is also included within 24 hours, and finally the driving mileage that the vehicle can reach is counted.
Such a challenge is equivalent to “running a marathon at the speed of a 100 – meter dash”, which poses great challenges to the vehicle’s technical capabilities in aspects such as the motor, battery, and thermal management. The core aspects include:
Whether the electric drive system can continuously maintain very high – speed driving while taking into account low power consumption;
Whether the power battery can continuously ensure the charging and discharging power and efficiency;
Whether the heat dissipation system can ensure the temperature control under extreme working conditions;
Whether the vehicle body aerodynamic design can minimize the impact of wind resistance on its energy consumption, etc.
The new – generation Xiaomi SU7 Max test vehicle conducts the “24 – hour endurance challenge” to verify the comprehensive capabilities of the whole vehicle, such as performance, range, energy consumption, and reliability, through high – intensity tests far exceeding daily working conditions, so as to deliver a vehicle with stronger performance, longer range, and more reliable driving experience to users in the future during mass production.
