On the last day of the National Day holiday, the peak return journey of new energy vehicles resulted in queues at charging piles in high-speed service areas. Hubei Communications Investment Zaoyang North Service Area and other places have implemented the "eight-point full" measure to guide the removal of piles when charging to 80% to improve pile turnover efficiency. Experts explain that lithium batteries enter the slow charging stage after 80%, and the time taken to fully charge increases significantly. Shallow charging and discharging are better for battery life. Many service areas have adopted similar measures, and the number of vehicles turned over in a single hour has increased significantly.

According to foreign media reports, sales of Honda CR-V in the U.S. market from January to September 2026 reached 336,834 units, surpassing Toyota RAV4 by approximately 83,000 units.

The sales of RAV4 have lagged behind due to the complete elimination of pure fuel power in the new generation of models. Unless the supply is fully restored, it will have a chance to overtake.
