After returning to Dongguan during the 2024 Spring Festival travel rush, Bruce from the sales department said, "The journey from Hunan to Dongguan, which is only 650 kilometers and 7-8 hours, has taken me 25000 miles of vicissitudes."
According to his introduction, the return trip for the Spring Festival travel was originally planned to depart on the sixth day of the lunar new year. However, considering the possibility of encountering a heavy traffic jam, it was postponed to 4am on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Before getting on the highway, he was secretly happy that there were no cars on the way, thinking that it was the peak season of the Spring Festival travel. Unexpectedly, upon reaching the highway, the road was filled with cars and they slowly moved forward. The emergency lane next to them was also filled with resting cars. On this most tiring night, the driver took a nap in the car, refreshed himself, and set off.
From Long to Zhouwang, it usually takes 15 minutes by car, but this time it took more than 2 hours. It has been over three hours since the Shanghai Kunming Expressway was transferred to Erguang. The most peculiar thing is that on the Yongzhou section of the Second Guangzhou Expressway, less than 100 kilometers, the turtle speed driving actually achieved an impressive record of 20 hours. It took Bruce 36 hours to get to Dongguan. He walked between the expressway and the national highway, up and down, slowly followed other cars, moved three times at a time, drove alone, and totally destroyed himself. Afterwards, he sighed: "Even the his mother traffic police can't get into Yongzhou Road."
The main reason for the spectacular traffic jam during the Spring Festival travel rush is that there are too many electric cars. After running for a while, the electric cars found that they needed to be charged, so they drove and watched. Where are the charging stations and where are the convenient parking spots? The speed then slowed down, and the cars behind it didn't know why, so they also followed suit. Especially for pure electric vehicles, what if they get lost in bed? The driver has been calculating early on where to rest and where to charge, and has arranged the travel plan properly. Unexpectedly, during the Spring Festival travel rush, there were too many electric cars, Tesla was everywhere, other BYD and XPENG were everywhere, and the highway rest stations were also overcrowded. Those waiting for electric cars to charge were all queued up on the highway, occupying it directly. Charging a car took several hours, and the few charging stations were simply unable to meet the travel needs of electric cars.
Every time Bruce passes through a difficult traffic jam, he carefully looks at it and there are no signs of any accidents. The vehicles pass by like water passing without a trace. Apart from the household garbage on both sides, no one can remember the big traffic jam here. Bruce said, "This is the ghost traffic jam rumored online. There were no traffic accidents, but the highway was tightly blocked and blocked."
