I want to drive the Xiaomi YU7 to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for self-driving during the October 1st holiday. What should I pay attention to when driving in high-altitude areas?
Exploring the borders of the motherland in a pure electric vehicle is a very cool thing. Pure electric vehicles have inherent advantages in high altitudes, such as fast power response and low usage costs. Before departure, we recommend checking the vehicle status and planning your itinerary and energy replenishment routes in advance; during the trip, pay attention to the impact of low temperatures and continuous climbing on range, and protect the chassis when passing through bumpy roads.
First, you can perform a "check-up" on the entire vehicle through the "Autumn Vehicle Care Service" to ensure vehicle safety before your long-distance trip.
Regarding energy replenishment, we also recommend planning your itinerary and charging routes in advance to avoid running out of power. When the estimated remaining range is below 50km, you can activate "Super Power Saving Mode" to obtain longer range and find nearby charging piles for timely replenishment. Xiaomi Auto has currently integrated over 1.5 million+ charging piles nationwide into its charging network and has partnered with 26 high-quality industry operators to meet your long-distance travel energy needs.
The main characteristics of the plateau are low temperature and low air pressure, which pose challenges to EV range, charge/discharge performance, battery pack sealing, and air suspension adjustment performance. However, please rest assured that whether it is the Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, or Xiaomi YU7, our vehicles have undergone thorough road tests and durability tests before launch, ensuring that all vehicle functions can operate normally under extreme conditions (such as extreme heat, extreme cold, or high altitude), accompanying you to go further.
