The blogger feels that the Kr automotive brand is very responsible upon seeing this.

During the Spring Festival period, Jikeng Charging Assistance has been launched in 44 cities nationwide. From February 4th to February 8th and from February 16th to February 20th, charging vehicles will be stationed at major expressway service areas in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, providing on-site 1-hour free charging service for car owners.

While one might only take long trips two or three times a year and feel they can overcome the challenge, according to the peak-end rule, the impact of long-distance charging on the driving experience is profound, and one might deeply regret it.

According to previous reports, during the Spring Festival period, many electric vehicle owners drove home for the holidays and encountered various problems. For example, difficulties in charging, tires slipping on highways, and getting stuck in snowstorms.

Despite the challenging journey, many electric vehicle owners have admitted that they do not regret choosing electric vehicles for travel.

Some owners believe that in extreme weather conditions, whether it's a gasoline car or an electric car, both will face the annoyance of refueling and queuing. The choice between an electric car and a gasoline car should be based on actual needs and scenarios, with safety being the most important consideration.

Therefore, whether to choose an electric car or a gasoline car for travel depends on the individual, and the decision should be made based on one's own circumstances.
