In today's automotive market, energy replacement, energy conservation and emission reduction are inevitable trends. This is actually a "pain and happiness" process for ordinary consumers, electric vehicles naturally have many advantages, power smooth acceleration is fast, and the cost of the car is also low. However, in addition to this, the mileage anxiety brought about by the battery characteristics and charging environment has always been accompanied.
Based on this contradiction, many independent brands have set their sights on hybrid technology, of which Weipai is one of the most representative, on the one hand, its DHT hybrid technology performs well, on the other hand, hybrid technology is also very popular in its models. With the pre-sale of Mocha DHT-PHEV, Weipai also proposed a new technology of "0 anxiety intelligent electric". How to make users enjoy the advantages of new energy while not using the car anxiety, Wei Pai's answer lies in this new car.
The large battery speeds up charging, and the economic performance is not wrong
Mocha DHT-PHEV launched a total of 2 models, distributed in 0 Anxiety Smart Edition (long-endurance version) and 0 Anxiety Performance Edition (high-performance electric four-wheel drive version), with a pre-price of 299,000 and 315,000 respectively. At the same time, this car is also the flagship product of the current Hybrid SUV of Weipai, so it has excellent performance in fuel economy and power.
The new car is equipped with a smart DHT hybrid system developed by Great Wall, including a high-efficiency 1.5T engine for Miller cycles, a DHT transmission with an integrated 135 kW front axle motor, and a high-performance battery pack with a capacity of 36.97 kWh, and a 135 kW motor on the rear axle of the all-wheel drive system.
The two versions of this pre-sale have different emphases. Among them, 0 anxiety performance version pays more attention to power performance, its power system maximum power 355kW, maximum torque 762N·m, the official said that its 0-100km/h acceleration time is 4.8s, this achievement is not inferior to some pure electric vehicles.
Under the premise of high performance, the four-wheel drive version of the WLTC has a pure battery life of 175km, and the WLTC has a fuel consumption of 6.3L for 100 km feeder, which is still an excellent result.
In addition, what has received more attention is the long-endurance version of the 0 Anxiety Smart Edition, which has its own characteristics to a large extent to solve the pain points of consumers' cars.
This version of the WLTC has a pure electric endurance of up to 204km and a comprehensive cruising range of 1195km with full fuel and full electricity. This is a very eye-catching achievement in today's plug-in models, which can be called the existence of "ceiling". Higher pure electric endurance means that users can enjoy more advantages brought by electric in daily cars, which will be reflected in real life.
According to the "2021 China Urban Commuting Monitoring Report", the urban commuting space radius of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen reached 38 kilometers, and the average one-way commuting distance was 9.1 kilometers. According to this set of data, it is conservative to run 100 kilometers a week to work, which is very close to the upper limit of the theoretical pure electric endurance of most plug-in hybrid SUVs on the market.
High-performance PHEV battery pack
The Mocha DHT-PHEV has a pure electric endurance of 204km, and after subtracting factors such as normal discounts, the real battery life available to users is also ahead of many competitors. Its pure electric mode is enough to support the user's daily commute for a week or even some short trips, in this working condition, the economy of mocha DHT-PHEV and the driving experience and pure electric vehicles are very close, not only low cost of use and driving comfort is very high, very suitable for traffic conditions in the city.
At the same time, Weipai also equipped the car's large battery with 60kW fast charging, which can also be more convenient and faster to recharge when going out, and can be charged with 80% of the power in the fastest 25 minutes, obtaining a cruising range of more than 160km.
Compared with pure electric and extended range models, the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is also more relaxed in the face of long-distance driving. Thanks to the efficient engine and two-speed transmission, it can cope with a variety of operating conditions with a variety of drive modes.
When the battery level is lower than the user-set value, the engine intervenes to the same extent. Depending on the road conditions and the driver's intentions, the Mocha DHT-PHEV automatically switches in pure electric, series and parallel modes to balance fuel economy and power output.
According to official data, the fuel consumption of the Mocha DHT-PHEV two-wheel drive model is only 5.55L/100km, which is an excellent result for a mid-size SUV.
In general, in the case of daily commuting, Mocha DHT-PHEV relies on large batteries and fast charging to bring low car costs and driving comfort close to pure electric vehicles, while higher battery life, faster charging, and less power replenishment; and in long-distance driving, the engine and DHT transmission can also meet the dual needs of power and fuel saving, and endurance anxiety may really no longer exist.
DHT Hybrid + Coffee Intelligence, the future key of the Great Wall
As the first product of Wei brand "0 anxiety intelligent electric", Mocha DHT-PHEV sets the great achievement of Wei brand technology, deeply integrates the two core technologies of intelligent DHT and coffee intelligence, and comprehensively advanced in terms of scientific and technological configuration and intelligence, which can be said to reflect important technical value.
Judging from the performance of Mocha DHT-PHEV, its DHT hybrid system with large motors to speed up charging can be said to be an excellent solution for popularizing new energy at this stage. It is not easy to do this, first of all, we must have practical achievements in economic and energy saving, and at the same time, we must ensure a free and abundant driving experience. It can be said that the hybrid system plays the balance of the way, and the DHT insertion and mixing system on the MOCHA DHT-PHEV has gone a step further at this point.
DHT transmission
The two-speed transmission is one of the cores of the DHT system, which is essentially an electronically integrated integrated special transmission, using a 5-in-1 highly integrated compact design, which is smaller and easier to be arranged in the vehicle. At the same time, it supports the engine to drive two gears directly, so that the engine runs in the efficient zone, which is conducive to the double improvement of fuel saving and power output.
The high-efficiency PHEV battery pack with a pure electric endurance of more than 200km is also the first time to be installed on the MOCHA DHT-PHEV, which adopts a high-performance power battery cell with an energy density of >230wh/kg and a system energy density of >150wh/kg. At the same time, it supports extremely fast charging, charging 80% in 25 minutes, and can travel more than 160 kilometers. In addition, the battery pack also has the strength of the core safety performance, through the immersion of water, temperature shock, drop, acupuncture, fire, thermal runaway and other 91 safety tests to verify, thermal runaway to meet the 30min no fire does not explode.
Battery pack soaking experiment
In addition to smart DHT, coffee smart also brings a smart experience of zero anxiety to Mocha DHT-PHEV. The MOCHA DHT-PHEV series is equipped with HWA high-speed driving assistance as standard, and the NOH smart pilot assistance will meet with users through the third OTA. In the case of full technology, the vehicle can realize intelligent driving under conditions such as intelligent up and down ramps and intelligent avoidance of sink entrances, and maximize the liberation of drivers' hands and feet. In the daily commute, Mocha DHT-PHEV solves the pain points of users parking in narrow parking spaces and reversing on narrow roads by integrating parking, trail reversing, transparent chassis, etc., and provides all-round driving assistance support.
At last
With the release of mocha DHT-PHEV, Weipai defines itself as "China's first representative of the complete transformation from fuel vehicles to new energy", which is enough to see its confidence and determination in the new energy track. In 2022, Weipai will also bring the first new energy MPV, and will also launch hybrid products with a pure electric endurance of more than 300km in the future. With a good start to mocha DHT-PHEV, we can boldly look forward to the blockbuster new products after Weipai.
Finally, back to the product to say a few words about the pricing of Mocha DHT-PHEV, the starting price of nearly 300,000 yuan was announced and I was really shocked. The overall strength of this car is excellent, but the price is really not cheap. Of course, the behavior of independent brands to show muscle after the technical results should also be understood. In the future, this car will definitely not become a hot hit on the market, but at a certain stage, it will be the iconic totem of DHT hybrid.
