新能源重卡市场正迈入高速发展新阶段。中国汽车工业协会数据显示，2025年上半年，新能源重卡销量 达79710辆，同比激增184.68%。今年以来，其月度渗透率已连续4个月突破23%。 整体向好的发展态势下，新能源重卡的市场渗透仍存在明显的场景分化。 中长途干线物流领域新能源重卡不足0.1%的渗透率，凸显出补能网络滞后的核心瓶颈。当前，纯电重 卡应用仍集中于中短途和封闭场景(如沙石料、煤炭、钢厂运输)。单纯增大电池容量难以满足未来重卡 对续航和经济性的双重要求，快速补能成为其向全场景(尤其是长途重载)拓展的关键障碍。 徐工新能源汽车副总经理庄明兴认为，当前主流技术路线(如超充、快换)已较为成熟，不存在路线之 争，最大挑战在于充换电基础设施的建设与布局。建设补能站涉及电力、安全、交通等多部门，跨地区 审批流程繁琐，需打通从省级到区县级的流程堵点，方能推动重卡新能源化向零碳化迈进。庄明兴呼 吁，在法规层面给予新能源车型质量补偿，解决因整备质量高导致的"亏吨"问题。并强调，应尽快完善 换电标准的细化与执行，遏制"假换电"等不合规现象，促进行业规范化、高质量发展。 陕重汽技术管理部部长张轩分析，在短途或封闭场景中，纯电 ...

Core Viewpoint - The notion that electric vehicle batteries must be discarded after eight years is a misunderstanding, as battery lifespan is influenced by various factors including usage patterns and environmental conditions [7][12]. Group 1: Warranty and Battery Lifespan - Different brands have varying warranty periods for electric vehicles, with some offering lifetime warranties for key components like batteries [2][5]. - The mandatory warranty for batteries is at least 8 years or 120,000 kilometers, but this does not guarantee that the battery will fail after this period [5][7]. - Battery performance typically declines over time, affecting the overall driving experience, and replacement costs can be significant [4][6]. Group 2: Factors Affecting Battery Life - Battery lifespan is determined by multiple factors, including charge cycles, calendar life, and environmental conditions [7][8]. - Current lithium-ion batteries can last approximately 10 to 20 years under normal usage conditions, with three types of lithium batteries having different cycle counts [7][8]. - Poor usage habits, such as frequent overcharging or exposure to extreme temperatures, can accelerate battery degradation [8][12]. Group 3: Second-Hand Market Impact - The condition of the battery significantly affects the resale value of electric vehicles, with older models often valued at only 20% of their original price due to battery performance decline [9]. - Early electric vehicle models may exhibit more pronounced battery degradation, leading to cautious evaluations by second-hand dealers [9]. Group 4: Battery Replacement Indicators - Signs that a battery may need replacement include rapid loss of charge, inability to reach full capacity, and significant reductions in driving range [10][11]. - Regular health checks and monitoring of battery performance are recommended to ensure longevity and performance [11]. Group 5: Best Practices for Battery Maintenance - Maintaining battery charge between 20% and 80% and minimizing fast charging can extend battery life [11][12]. - Temperature management is crucial, with recommendations for insulation in cold climates and avoiding immediate charging after exposure to heat [12].
