Now not only in the north, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, there are many new first-tier and even second-tier cities, and they have also begun to implement traffic restrictions, and many consumers have begun to consider starting electric vehicles, after all, electric vehicles do not have the problem of restricting traffic restrictions. However, many consumers have not made up their minds to buy electric vehicles, because the endurance of electric vehicles has not reassured most people, and many people are afraid that it will be inconvenient to charge after buying electric vehicles. In fact, nowadays, electric vehicles can be considered as the main car for families, Tesla Model Y, Ideal ONE, Weilai ES8, Xiaopeng P7 and other electric vehicles, all have higher sales in the market, and have been recognized by many consumers.
However, among the several models mentioned above, the ideal ONE is slightly different from the other models, this car uses a relatively rare range extender power in the new energy vehicle market, rather than the pure electric power that dominates the new energy market. To be honest, there are not many models in the current car market that use range extender power, in addition to the ideal ONE, there are a few models such as Lantu FREE, Nissan Xuanyi E-POWER, and most of the range extended electric vehicles are launched after the ideal ONE is listed. As for plug-in hybrid technology, most of the people who choose this technology are BBA's oil-to-electric models, and their sales volume is not at the forefront of the new energy vehicle market.
For the power of the extender, the public's evaluation is not consistent, and many people feel that the power of the extender is not practical. For example, Mr. Feng Sihan, CEO of Volkswagen China, also said at the media exchange meeting in September 2020 that the power of the extender is the worst solution, saying that the environmental protection of the power of the range is nonsense.
However, from the current sales data, the ideal ONE with extender power is selling quite well in the market. In November of this year, the single-month sales of the Ideal ONE reached 13,438 units, ranking second in the new energy SUV market, after the Tesla Model Y. The monthly sales of NIO ES6, Xiaopeng P7 and other models are still far from the ideal ONE. It is worth mentioning that the ideal ONE is also the best selling medium and large SUV in China, is the king of medium and large SUV sales in November, and the monthly sales of all medium and large SUVs under Volkswagen are not as high as the sales of the ideal ONE model.
The high sales volume of the ideal ONE also proves that Mr. Feng Sihan's evaluation of the extended range electric vehicle is biased, at least the consumer is enough to recognize the extended range electric vehicle.
Range extender power can be recognized because range extender power is different from pure electric power, and it can achieve short-distance electricity consumption and long-distance power generation. Therefore, the endurance of the ideal ONE itself has reached 1080 kilometers, and when running long distances, there is no high dependence on charging piles. When running long distances, the ideal ONE can go to the gas station to replenish the battery life, do not need to spend a long time to charge, and do not have to worry about no charging pile on the road. Therefore, in terms of practicality, the ideal ONE extended range electric vehicle is much better than pure electric vehicles.
The practicality of the ideal ONE is not only reflected in the range extender power, but also the interior space of this car is also spacious. As the ideal ONE for medium and large SUVs, the car has a length of 5030mm, a wheelbase of 2935mm, and 6 seats in the car. For consumers with a large population at home, the ideal ONE is just right, and a family can still get a better riding comfort by sitting in the car, so the ideal ONE is called "Daddy Car" by many consumers.
In short, today's new energy vehicle market is still the beginning, the development stage, pure electric technology is said to be the best, the most environmentally friendly solution, but the supporting facilities and battery technology is not perfect, affecting the user's experience. In contrast, the ideal ONE's range-extending power will be much better, more practical, and more suitable for the current car environment. This naturally makes the ideal ONE stand out from the market and promotes the development of range-extended electric vehicles.
