Compared with pure electric vehicles, car companies that use range extender power do not use pure electricity more car companies, and last year, Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan also expressed the view that "range extender electric is bad from the overall situation". I personally disagree with this view, at least in the current overall situation, I think the advantages of extended-range electric technology still outweigh the disadvantages.
For example, when the extended range electric vehicle commutes for a short distance, it is completely indistinguishable from a pure electric vehicle; when the long-distance commuter needs the booster, its energy consumption will be lower than that of the same level of fuel vehicles. And from the perspective of consumers, the range extended electric vehicle can not only be green card, exempt from purchase tax, but also let everyone have no mileage anxiety in the process of using the car, is not the best of both worlds?
In this regard, netizen Mr. Chen also expressed more agreement with my views. According to Mr. Chen, he himself is the ideal ONE owner with the power of the extender, and the ideal ONE at home has been bought for half a year and driven thousands of kilometers, so it can also be regarded as having a say. Mr. Chen said that in fact, before buying the ideal ONE, he also struggled and worried for a long time, after all, more than 300,000 is not a small amount, and the ideal car brand has only been established for a few years.
However, after doing some homework, Mr. Chen found that Ideal mixed well in the new car-making force group and was also the head car company; including the sales data of Ideal ONE, it was among the best, and even compared with the Volkswagen Tuang he had previously focused on, its sales were slightly better. Also, the range-extending power used by the ideal ONE is indeed a real fragrance in terms of practicality.
Because after Mr. Chen replaced Mondeo, there is only one car at home, although he likes the driving quality of the tram, but considering the actual situation, it may be somewhat not allowed; after all, every New Year's Festival, you have to go back to your hometown, go out to drive yourself, and the endurance performance of the pure tram is difficult to satisfy. However, the range-extending power used by the ideal ONE, at the moment, just solves Mr. Chen's endurance concerns.
Like in the daily commute, Mr. Chen's ideal ONE is basically pure electric mode, because the 188km battery life is fully enough for his commuting needs for 2-3 days in the full power state, and the power is out of the house downstairs can be directly continued. For the New Year's Day holiday that will begin soon, Mr. Chen also plans to take his family to chuanxi to see the mountains and play in the snow and stay for a few days; at this time, the ideal ONE's range extender power supports the characteristics of oil power generation, which can come in handy. Moreover, the ideal ONE is parked overnight in the ambient temperature of sub-zero, and the next day it is not afraid of its battery life discount, after all, it can maintain the electric drive by replenishing the fuel after the power is out.
Of course, Mr. Chen is not only interested in the ideal ONE extender electric, the practicality of the space, comfort, intelligence and high configuration, Mr. Chen also has a high evaluation of his ideal ONE. Indeed, because many consumers have more or less understood the new Highlander, Volkswagen Tuon/Lanjing, Ford Explorer or Audi Q5L, Volvo XC60 and other models before choosing the ideal ONE.
But it has to be said that the product power of the ideal ONE almost integrates their advantages, such as the large space of Tuon, the low fuel consumption of the hybrid Highlander and the materials and high-end configuration of the luxury brand, which can be seen on the ideal ONE. Otherwise, this new generation of SUV selling more than 300,000 independent brands, I don't think it will sell more than 13,000 units in November, and there are many fuel vehicles worth starting at this price, and the ideal ONE can achieve this considerable sales can also be confirmed, the ideal ONE and its range extender power, is recognized by consumers.
Written in the end: In fact, through the sharing of cars from the ideal ONE car owners, and the market performance of the ideal ONE, I think it is enough to refute the views of the CEO of Volkswagen China. It is true that the extended range electric vehicle is indeed inferior to the environmental protection compared to the pure electric vehicle, but in the current dilemma of pure electric vehicles facing endurance anxiety, perhaps the extended range electric vehicle is more practical for family cars and caters to more consumers. As for "the range extender technology is terrible", I think it should be after the pure tram said goodbye to the anxiety of endurance.
