对于任何一款汽车来说，在两年内行驶超过 100,000 英里都是很多的，但工作车辆有时会发生这种情况。它们需要可靠且具有成本效益，否则，它们就没有经济意义。特别是当工作车辆用于修理道路上的其他汽车时。

在考虑道路救援车辆时，可能会想到一辆皮卡车，但正如您在 James and Kate - The EV Team YouTube 频道上发布的本页顶部嵌入的视频中看到的那样，中国制造的电动旅行车可以胜任这项工作。

介绍MG5，在世界其他地区被称为荣威Ei5。这是一款由上汽集团在中国郑州制造的电池动力汽车，在英国以相当诱人的价格销售。

改款版的起价为 30,995 英镑（约合 38,800 美元），配备 61 千瓦时的电池组，WLTP 续航里程为 326 英里。然而，视频中的汽车是改款前的汽车，配备 52.5 kWh 电池或与改款相同的 61.1 kWh 单元。

但电池尺寸不是这里的话题。取而代之的是用作工作车辆的紧凑型旅行车的令人印象深刻的可靠性。行驶 100,000 英里后，您会期望至少看到一些问题，但就这款特殊的电动汽车而言，一切似乎都处于非常好的状态，至少在机械上是这样。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/6nA0r/s1/2021-mg-mg5-ev-long-range-in-uk-specification-1.jpg

https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/qAWxv/s1/2021-mg-mg5-ev-long-range-in-uk-specification-98.jpg由于退化问题，电池损失了百分之六的容量，这意味着大约14英里的续航里程，但除此之外（以及一些塑料片上不可避免的刮擦），这辆车仍然很强大。座椅由售后市场买的保护套保护，看起来完好无损，从CV轴到电动机和减速齿轮，机械钻头没有老化的迹象。没有漏油，没有漏水，什么都没有漏。

即使是内燃机车辆上通常每 50,000 英里更换一次的刹车片（这只是经验法则，并非基于实际科学），也几乎没有磨损迹象。视频中说话的男子实际上是一套几乎全新的刹车片，可以与新车上的刹车片媲美，几乎没有区别。

轮胎已经更换了好几次，但这是道路上每辆车都可以预料到的。总而言之，它看起来像一组非常坚固的轮毂。这当然与老的看法相去甚远，即至少与西方制造的汽车相比，他们总是认为中国制造的汽车不能使用太久。

Here’s How An Affordable Chinese-Made EV Holds Up After 100,000 Miles

Two years on the road for this MG5 EV and the brake pads look almost brand new.

Covering just over 100,000 miles in two years is a lot for any car, but that’s what happens sometimes with work vehicles. They need to be reliable and cost-efficient, otherwise, they don’t make financial sense. Especially when the work vehicle is used to fix other cars on the road.

A pickup truck probably comes to mind when thinking about road assistance vehicles, but as you can see in the video embedded at the top of this page, published on the James and Kate - The EV Team YouTube channel, a Chinese-made electric station wagon is more than up to the job.

Introducing the MG5, which is known as the Roewe Ei5 in other parts of the world. It’s a battery-powered car made by SAIC Motor in Zhengzhou, China, and sold in the United Kingdom at a pretty attractive price.

The facelifted version starts at £30,995 (about $38,800) and comes with a 61-kilowatt-hour battery pack that enables a WLTP driving range of 326 miles. However, the car in the video is a pre-facelift car that was available with either a 52.5-kWh battery or the same 61.1-kWh unit as the one offered with the facelift.

But battery size is not the topic here. Instead, it’s the pretty impressive reliability of the compact wagon that was used as a work vehicle. After 100,000 miles, you’d expect to see at least something go wrong, but in the case of this particular EV, everything seems to be in very good shape, at least mechanically.

The battery lost six percent of its capacity due to degradation, which translates to about 14 miles of range, but other than that (and some inevitable scrapes on some plastic bits), the car is still going strong. The seats have been protected by aftermarket covers and look intact, and the mechanical bits show no signs of aging, from the CV axles to the electric motor and reduction gears. No tears, no leaks, nothing.

Even the brake pads, which are usually replaced every 50,000 miles (just a rule of thumb, not based on actual science) on a combustion vehicle, show almost no signs of wear. The man speaking in the video actually has a brand new set of brake pads to compare with the ones that are on the car and the difference is almost nonexistent. 

The tires have been replaced several times, but that’s to be expected with every car on the road. All in all, it looks like a pretty robust set of wheels. It’s certainly a far cry from the old perception that Chinese-made cars won’t last too long, compared to Western-made vehicles, at least.
