Is it a good thing or a bad thing that a car is controversial? There's a bit of a big picture about this, because we don't know exactly what aspect of your controversy is. But one thing to say, controversy also means there is heat and attention, which is certainly beneficial for raising awareness. Moreover, many popular models have also been controversial or are in the midst of controversy, such as the Tesla Model 3/Y, Hongguang MINIEV and Ideal ONE in the field of new energy. But they also have one thing in common – sales are firmly at the top of the same list.
Take the ideal ONE, for example, this car just won the top of the medium and large SUV sales in November, and it is also the only car with a monthly sales of more than 10,000 of the models priced at 300,000 yuan by its own brand. However, the ideal ONE has also been questioned a lot along the way. Among them, the hottest is that last year, the CEO of Volkswagen China complained that "the extender electric is terrible". Although the executive did not name names at the time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is the extended-range electric technology used in the connotation ideal ONE.
Is that range-extending power really so broken? From a market point of view, in fact, consumers are very receptive to the range extender technology, and the sales volume of the ideal ONE is a good proof. But for this matter, there is no doubt that the owner of the ideal ONE is the owner, after all, they are the "car long test experiencers". Below, I found out the evaluations given by several car owners on the ideal ONE and its range extender power in the forum, ideal APP and other fields.
The ideal ONE owner with the ID name "You guess you guess you guess" said: "At the beginning of buying a car, I also compared the fuel car and the plug-in and mixed car involved in direct drive, as well as the difference between the range extender tram and the difference in energy consumption, but after comprehensive consideration, I still think that the range extender power of the ideal ONE is more reasonable." Because the extender-powered engine does not participate in the drive, but acts as a generator, strictly speaking, the ideal ONE is a tram; in terms of driving quality and quietness in the car, there is no difference between the advantages of the tram. And with the range extender, it does not have to worry about endurance problems when going out of the door, and it can be directly generated by oil when there is no power. ”
Another owner from Guangdong said: The ideal ONE's 188km pure electric endurance can basically be higher than a lot of plugs and mixes in terms of experience, environmental protection, and economy. Like him driving, most of the time is only in the urban commuting conditions, from the pick-up to the current more than 4,000 kilometers, only 3 times of oil, usually completely as a tram.
In the number of refueling times, two times are added when going out to drive; fuel consumption, the ideal ONE in the oil-electric hybrid mode and then pull their family of six, 100 kilometers is also 8L up and down, it is definitely more economical than the same medium and large SUV fuel vehicles. To sum up, to use a word to describe, this ideal ONE owner feels that "true fragrance" is more suitable.
It is not only this car owner who gives the evaluation of "true incense", the ideal ONE car owner with the ID name "Dream no discount" also speaks of the ideal ONE true fragrance. The owner has a 3 Series at home, mentioned an ideal ONE in the middle of this year, and drove it 2000+km to the northeast in November.
On the first day of departure, the owner of the car quickly drove a distance of more than 1,000km, and if it was replaced by a pure tram, it was estimated that half of the time would have to be used for charging. It is worth mentioning that when the range extender intervened, the noise when he sat in the car did not increase significantly, after all, the sound insulation performance of the ideal ONE was still recognized by many car owners; compared with the direct-drive plug-in hybrid model, the ideal ONE had more prominent advantages in noise suppression and smoothness.
Summary: Through the real car sharing of the above ideal ONE owners, it is not difficult to see that in fact, the reputation of the ideal ONE in the user group is exactly contrary to the comments of netizens. As for who has more credibility, I think it is more authoritative to sell or the owner's reputation. For example, car owners said that the ideal ONE's range extender power takes into account the driving experience of the tram, and has the endurance comparable to that of the oil car, and I personally believe that in the current new energy market, it is indeed a more reasonable existence.
