Presumably, friends who pay attention to the new energy field should be familiar with "range extender power", because in the past two years, more and more car companies have begun to use this technology. Let's start with the working logic of the extender power, strictly speaking, the technology is also a kind of plug-in hybrid, because the extender power is also a fuelable and electric hybrid.
However, its operation mode is the same as that of pure trams, which is to transmit energy to the motor with batteries and drive the wheels; but when the battery is out of power, the range extender equipped by the extender electric vehicle will intervene in the work, and supplement the battery by powering the battery by powering oil. Therefore, the model in our country is also hung is the "F" beginning of the new energy license plate.
However, Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan seems to be not too cold to the power of range extender, and even at a press conference last year, he also publicly complained that "from the overall situation, the range extender technology is very bad." Standing in the development direction of new energy vehicles and the working conditions of pure trams, what Dr. Feng Sihan said seems to have some truth, after all, the range extender power needs to be consumed at the cost of fuel consumption after the range extender starts to work, which is somewhat contrary to the development of automobile electrification.
But then again, the fuel consumption performance of the range extender after the start of operation is actually lower than that of the same level of fuel vehicles and PHEV plug-in hybrid vehicles, because it does not participate in direct driving, but in a more efficient and economical working condition to supply energy to the battery. Moreover, the current pure electric vehicles have always faced the problem of long-range endurance anxiety, and the extended range electric vehicle just makes up for the lack of pure electric vehicles in terms of endurance, while the energy consumption is not high, and also enjoys the driving quality of pure electric vehicles.
So, such a technology in the current new energy situation, how can it be considered bad? Because from the current point of view, the extended range electric vehicle is indeed to solve the embarrassing charging inconvenience and mileage anxiety faced by pure electric vehicles, and at the same time enjoy various policies and driving quality of pure electric vehicles, such as exemption from purchase tax.
For example, the ideal ONE, which sells very well, uses the power of range extenders. And in November, Ideal Auto successfully matched the sales of the Volkswagen brand's entire series of medium and large SUVs with the ideal ONE car, including in the past six months, the former medium and large SUV "sales brother" Tu Ang, also continued to be suppressed by the ideal ONE, the same level of monthly sales crown was repeatedly won by the ideal ONE.
And through the hot sales of the ideal ONE can also show that consumers also recognize the range extender electric technology, after all, the ideal ONE price of more than 300,000 is not low, everyone chooses it, I believe it is also the strength of its products, and stronger practicality than pure trams.
At the same time, in addition to the earlier ideal cars using range extender power, more and more car companies are adopting range extender power. For example, the Lantu FREE, which began to be delivered in August this year, its main model is the extended range version; and Nissan's champion Xuan Yi, also chose the range extender power on the recently launched e-POWER model, and the follow-up will also bring the extender Nissan MPV: Serena.
By the way, the Q&I M5 just released by Huawei a few days ago also uses range extender power. If the power of the extended range is really as bad as some friends complain, I think there should be no more car companies in the future to choose to join it, especially technology companies like Huawei.
In general, on the topic of whether the extended range electric technology is reliable and whether the extended range model can be bought, we can undoubtedly recognize the extended range model through the current market response and consumer reputation. After all, the model not only meets your needs for a green card in the use scenario, but also has the advantages that a tram should have, and the key is to ensure your long-distance commute. I think that's one of the reasons why the ideal ONE car is so hot, you say?
