Throughout the year of 2021, in the new energy vehicle market, I believe the biggest change you see is that many brands are laying out their own "plug-in hybrid technology", such as BYD DM-i super hybrid, Great Wall Lemon DHT, Geely Lei Shenzhi Qing qing · X, Changan Blue Whale iDD, etc., and even in 2022 there will be a wave of new members to join.
Why does this happen in multiple directions for a while? In the author's immature understanding, I think the market occupies most of the reasons, even if you hear that there are many "electric vehicles are the future" supporters, but you inevitably admit that the reality is that the electric vehicle endspan is not up to standard, the demand for charging piles does not match, as long as the peak period of remote travel, you must squeeze with others in the service area for a few hours to queue up for charging, and then use an hour or two to replenish energy, "anxiety" has always been accompanied by the theme of your journey.
If you hear someone say to you again, "Why do you still buy a gas truck?" that you don't understand the suffering of the people, then please refute him: because the electric car in your mouth has always made me anxious, and when it doesn't make me anxious one day, I don't need you to ask, I can use practical actions to make you shut up. Therefore, in the face of the current multi-faceted anxiety problem, car companies must also reconsider the market, and plug-in hybrid models have become the best choice.
"1000 km +" will be the next theme
In order to let everyone shift the focus of electric vehicles from the focus to the "plug-in mixed car", most car companies will indicate the mileage of "1000km+" when launching their own "plug-in mixed car".
Even, under the 0 anxiety characteristics of retaining the plug-in hybrid car, many newly launched plug-in mixed cars have also begun to gradually increase the battery, as far as possible to achieve a pure electric mileage equivalent to some pure trams, such as the Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV that I test-drove a few days ago, charging once, turning off the battery can run 204 kilometers, at this point in time, this is the longest plug-in hybrid model with the current pure electric mileage.
Why can reach 1000 km of endurance, until now there are still many people do not want to believe this fact, but since now a number of car companies are advertising 1000 km + time, they are bound to have technology behind the support, such as this mocha DHT-PHEV, around the theme of "peak shaving and valley filling", from a technical point of view, it is not difficult to reach 1000 km cruising range.
Mocha DHT-PHEV has several drive modes, the first is the EV mode that we are very easy to understand, as long as the battery is charged, the 39.67kWh battery provides it with a pure electric endurance of 204 km, which also brings better economy. The author is also a plug-in mixed car owner, the home charging pile in the middle of the night charging, once the electricity is only 0.3 yuan, the mocha DHT-PHEV this car is full of less than 12 yuan, even if there is no charging pile at home, the cost of charging outside is also quite considerable.
So what if there is no power or close to no power? Mocha DHT-PHEV provides a series mode, equivalent to the ideal ONE range extender drive mode, the engine only needs to generate electricity for the generator at the optimal number of revolutions, the generator then drives the vehicle by driving the motor, the excess energy will be stored in the battery, and the big smart will definitely say: Isn't this taking off the pants and farting?
Obviously, he has not yet understood the concept of "peak shaving and valley filling", we all know that the fuel vehicle has the lowest fuel consumption when cruising at high speed, this is because the engine is kept in the range with the best number of revolutions and the highest efficiency, so why not charge the best time for the number of revolutions, which does not avoid the problem of poor economy when the traditional fuel vehicle is running at low speed? Only when accelerating sharply, the engine and motor will be driven in parallel together to meet the demand for strong power, and when driving at high speed, the engine directly enters the direct drive state, which can also achieve the fuel economy of long-distance high-speed cruise.
From the perspective of each working condition, the Mocha DHT-PHEV system has taken into account the various efficiency problems, but friends who have "two fields" hybrid should have a feeling, that is, when cruising at high speed, they are actually more expensive than in the city conditions, and the cleverness of the Mocha DHT-PHEV is that it has added a two-speed direct drive transmission, which has an engine power direct drive mode and an engine economic direct drive mode.
The former can ensure the power of the premise, the engine is still in the optimal economic working range, and the large speed ratio can let you get torque faster, improve acceleration performance, suitable for cruising in suburban road conditions; the latter can switch a more economical speed ratio direct drive, although the speed is very high, but the engine is still maintained in the best economic zone, but also to avoid the noise problem caused by the high number of engine revolutions in the past hybrid vehicles.
How does it open?
I can only sum up in one word: Quick! On the same day, we test-drove the Mocha DHT-PHEV high-performance electric four-wheel drive version, under the blessing of the dual-motor intelligent DHT system, its zero hundred acceleration reached 4.8 seconds, the last time we tried such a crazy domestic SUV, it was two years ago when we test drove by BYD Tang DM, this acceleration is like pressing you firmly on the seat, even breathing feels like a luxury.
And you don't have to think that this SUV with 335 kilowatts (about 455 hp) power and 762 Nm of torque is difficult to drive, it will not give you the feeling of stringing out the oil (electric) door as soon as it is touched, its tuning is more like a high-horsepower fuel car, as far as possible to create a familiar driving feeling, it is not difficult to drive. If you still feel that the horsepower is too large and difficult to control, don't be afraid, it also has a smaller two-wheel drive long endurance version, and the softer driving experience will not make you feel the slightest discomfort.
But the Mocha DHT-PHEV is not only powerful, in the test drive of so many models of Wei brand, Mocha DHT-PHEV still maintains the advanced driving texture of Wei brand as a Chinese luxury brand, this feeling comes from the confidence of the chassis, you will never be able to detect what kind of road conditions you have just passed, Mocha DHT-PHEV can filter the information on the road surface very clean, coupled with the quiet advantages of the electric drive system, it is not an exaggeration to say, if you have sat on China's high-speed rail, There is no difference in this feeling, but this "high-speed rail" needs to be operated by yourself.
In the face of the big bend in front, the roll and pitch control of mocha DHT-PHEV is also very in place, which is probably related to its electronically controlled active suspension, which can adjust the damping force of the shock absorber in real time according to the road conditions ahead and the current operating state of the vehicle, ensuring that you have enough support in different road conditions, which is very intelligent.
In addition, the smart label of Mocha DHT-PHEV is also very prominent, the AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display in the car, the 9.2-inch color LCD instrument, the 14.6-inch touch HD display and the 9-inch touch panel screen, it is easy to make people play when they first contact, obviously this is the product of traditional car companies, but there is a bit of "smart taste" of the new forces of car manufacturing.
And we have always been familiar with a variety of high-end intelligent driving assistance, Mocha DHT-PHEV is also surprisingly fully marked, it is equipped with 5 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 4 surround view cameras, 1 perception camera and 1 hd map module, in the driver assistance hardware, Mocha DHT-PHEV can be said to be the ceiling level of the current traditional fuel vehicle field, which is not exaggerated, because it is difficult for you to find the second traditional fuel vehicle with such a rich driving configuration.
Therefore, its use of NOH intelligent pilot auxiliary driving system, the same as the new force model of the same intelligent in and out ramp, intelligent avoidance of the sink entrance, intelligent lane change protection, intelligent avoidance of the car, intelligent identification of easy to mix fork intersection identification and distraction / fatigue detection and other high-end driving functions, which is the most unexpected experience of the day's test drive, compared with the current intelligent electric vehicle auxiliary driving capabilities, Mocha DHT-PHEV has enough intelligent underpinnings.
Write at the end
When Weipai launched the Mocha DHT-PHEV, the target opponent is also very clear, with the advantages of intelligent DHT multi-mode drive, to compete with the extender electric as the selling point of the model, such as the ideal ONE, also to solve the mileage anxiety as the selling point, but the ideal ONE due to only pure electricity and series two modes, in the high-speed and long-distance cruise economy is not good, and it just so happens that the Mocha DHT-PHEV has a two-speed engine direct drive mode, making it more relaxed at high speed.
Moreover, in terms of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and driving texture, Mocha DHT-PHEV, as a product of traditional car companies, also occupies an advantage in maturity. Of course, the sales of the opponent have been very powerful, mocha wants to eat well, the key is the price to speak, we also look forward to the subsequent listing news.
