There may be many people who have questions, are hybrid, why Toyota, Honda can only stick to the blue card, and the domestic hybrid model can be on the green card.
The value of green card and blue card is completely different, due to the problem of orientation, the same number plate, the value of green card is far more than the blue card, it can be unimpeded in more limited cities, and there is also a risk of avoiding purchase restrictions in some cities.
Based on this advantage, with a green license car, the market prospects must be better.
The main distinction between blue and green brands is only for the division of domestic production and sales models, blue cards are traditional cars, and green cards are new energy vehicles, but this standard can only be so recognized in China.
Because the domestic standard is: in the pure electric EV mode, cars with a range of more than 50km can apply for a new energy number plate, and cars that cannot run 50km with batteries cannot be called new energy vehicles.
Well, one car with pure electric energy running 49km is not new energy, and another car with pure electric energy running 51km is a new energy vehicle.
Sounds more interesting, but it is so stipulated, Toyota THS, Honda i-MMD because of the structure, technology, battery packs and other reasons, pure electric mileage can not run 50km, so even if the comprehensive fuel consumption can be as low as 5L hundred kilometers, but it is still not related to new energy.
Toyota's explanation is "carbon-reducing vehicles."
Because it effectively reduces the comprehensive fuel consumption of the whole vehicle through the combination of batteries and internal combustion engines, for example, the normal fuel consumption of a Passat is 8L, and the fuel consumption can reach 9L or even higher in congested conditions. While the Camry hybrid fuel consumption is 6L, the Accord hybrid fuel consumption may be lower.
The fuel consumption is 40% lower than that of models of the same size, which is a carbon reduction car.
Well, it is clear that in fact, this hybrid model also has a very good energy performance, but in the domestic market does not guarantee the ability to last more than 50km, nothing more.
Domestic electric vehicles are very aware of the needs of the market, so plug-in hybrid models are equipped with a relatively large battery, at least 8 degrees of electricity, equipped with a battery pack to ensure at least 51km of endurance performance, in order to get a better mileage, so as to get a green card.
For example, BYD's DM-i low-endurance performance is 51km, and Geely Jiaji PHEV has a low endurance of 56km, these models are very aware of the direction of market operation.
In fact, the most representative at present is BYD's DM-i.
Its endurance 51km low-end model is not to cope with the market policy, but to effectively reduce costs and reduce prices, Qin PLUS DM-i price of about 110,000, EV mode theory can run 51km, even if the feed can also have a comprehensive fuel consumption within 5L, it is a pinch of domestic consumer demand.
There is a number plate value, but also the advantages of use, BYD studied the market demand, made a two-sided response to the technical direction.
But all hybrids also have a crisis, this kind of "carbon reduction car" in the domestic pockets have also been tightened, for example, in Beijing, all hybrid models can not be on the new energy license, which shows that in Beijing has not recognized hybrid models are new energy.
At the same time, Shanghai's new regulations have also been introduced, which will also restrict the green card on hybrid models in 2023, which is a blow to all plug-in hybrid models, including the market direction after the ideal ONE.
Theoretically, it is not wrong, after all, in the direction of carbon neutrality, Toyota THS, Honda i-MMD has also made a great contribution to the market, but in the Chinese market, it is considered to be a traditional vehicle because it does not meet the requirements, but the technical architecture and strategic efforts have indeed saved a lot of fuel.
Only from the current point of view, Toyota and Honda, which cannot get on the green card, do develop more slowly than BYD, of course, I am talking about the Chinese market.
