Fred Lambert: 我这次有幸在中国体验了蔚来ET9,这是一款顶级的中国豪华轿车,给我留下了深刻的印象。它的悬挂系统非常出色,提供了极佳的乘坐舒适性。此外,我还首次体验了蔚来的换电服务,这让我对换电的价值有了新的认识。虽然之前特斯拉也尝试过换电,但并没有真正推广开来。而蔚来已经完成了7700万次换电,这证明了换电模式在中国市场的可行性。我发现,即使在有快充站的情况下,很多车主仍然选择换电,这说明换电不仅仅是方便,更是一种偏好。蔚来的电池租赁服务也很有吸引力,用户可以根据需要选择不同容量的电池,这增加了灵活性。总的来说,这次中国电动汽车的体验让我大开眼界,我对中国电动汽车的未来充满信心。
