Instead of making useless jokes, it is better to study the feasibility and competitiveness of Nissan's new e-Power technology architecture.
Nissan's VC-Turbo engine, strictly speaking, is a technical product of Europe and the United States under carbon neutrality and high pressure, this engine shows the characteristics of miniaturization, small displacement, high horsepower and strong torque, and is a new product of Nissan under carbon neutrality and double integral pressure.
What landed on the market one after the other with this new technology was the new power architecture of e-Power developed by Nissan in the true sense.
e-Power came the latest, but rational analysis is that it came at the right time, compared to toyota THS, Honda i-MMD hybrid architecture system that cannot be branded in the Chinese market, has no sense of existence and value, And nissan's e-Power is to seize the high ground of the new energy market.
At present, we can see that the joint venture car camp is generally uncompetitive in the production of new energy, mainly because the technical forms that have been reserved for decades are developing towards the field of fuel vehicles, and strong traditional technical barriers try to block the forward route of latecomers.
But this era has changed, we no longer need cars with internal combustion engines, we need a new technical architecture, to ensure carbon emission reduction, carbon neutrality of the all-new energy vehicles.
In fact, Toyota's earliest operation, but Toyota's THS architecture in the Chinese market can not obtain a new energy number plate, in fact, more than 50km pure electric endurance performance is to block toyota THS carbon emission reduction technology outside the door.
Unfortunately, the Honda i-MMD was also recruited.
Nissan's e-Power came late, but also made a comprehensive analysis of technology and market, which is a new set of extended range power architecture, from the technical level of analysis, an engine (range extender), a battery, a set of drive system, the direct form after the integration of technology, and the ideal ONE is similar.
The difference is that e-Power is equipped with higher technical standards, batteries with flash charge and flash discharge functions, "engines" with higher thermal efficiency, and inverters, generators, and motors that work more rigorously in the closed loop form a set of extended range architecture.
Therefore, e-Power is strictly speaking, a set of electric vehicles that do not need to be charged and need to be refueled, the engine is not directly connected to the body, the task of the generator is undertaken, and the direct drive of the vehicle is a battery that flashes and flashes.
The reason why e-Power is a product of the times, it is more suitable for this era than Toyota THS and Honda i-MMD, because e-Power has a green car that can be converted into plug-in and pure electric endurance of more than 50km at any time.
That is to say, the current e-Power model is still a blue card, but the subsequent technical direction adjustment is easier, and it is very difficult to convert into a rechargeable, pure electric vehicle with a range of more than 50km.
At least it is simpler than Toyota THS and Honda i-MMD.
From the current product analysis, e-Power structure, small displacement engine composition is a key, this engine should have high thermal efficiency, strong energy conversion rate of the two characteristics, the process of converting fuel into electrical energy, high efficiency is the first, it does not need too much power, only need good efficiency.
This also means that the e-Power feels the same driving experience as an electric car.
The role of the engine is actually a range extender, and it is the battery and motor that drive the vehicle, and because the engine load is lower, quiet is inevitable, which also means that the NVH effect of the e-Power vehicle will be better.
What is this set of technologies considering?
First, the efficiency advantage and reliability of the range extender, behind the consideration is Nissan's senior degree of range extender research and development, second, the debugging of the system in the energy conversion process matches the closed-loop advantage, whether the charge and discharge system is logically clear, whether the battery reliability is excellent, and third, the core cost control is very important.
The reliable, smooth, fuel-saving advantages of e-Power are nothing, the key is to set a very reasonable price.
At present, e-Power has launched the first Xuanyi, and Toyota, Honda, the same is that this new power structure will also be copied to other models at a very fast speed, with fuel saving, smooth new driving feel e-Power sequence, will be fully introduced to the market.
This also means that sales will be evenly cost-sharing in the later stage, and the price of e-Power models will be lower in the future, and the beneficiaries in the later period are not others, but the consumer market.
