THERE is no doubt about BYD's excellence, but the market still needs more "BYD".
Last year, BYD sold nearly 600,000 new energy vehicles. As a leader in new energy, BYD has undoubtedly become the brightest star on the electric wave. Among them, BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology is indispensable.
In addition to the DM-i itself is good enough, in the current development situation of new energy, plug-in hybrid models have indeed become the optimal solution in many people's minds. In view of this, although there is a saying that "plug-in hybrid is only a transition after all", there are still many followers of PHEV.
A few days ago, WEY's Mocha DHT PHEV began pre-sales. As the first model of the Great Wall to open a new chapter of "0 anxiety intelligent electric", the Mocha DHT PHEV naturally carries great weight.
For consumers, the anxiety of new energy vehicles mainly comes from the problem that the charging layout is not perfect enough and the charging efficiency is not high enough, and the plug-and-mix model of oil and electricity itself can greatly eliminate this part of the anxiety. But Mocha DHT PHEV believes that this is not enough.
So you can see that the Mocha DHT PHEV has a pure electric range of 204KM. As of now, this should be the longest pure electric mileage, including plug-in hybridization and extender hybridization. If you push forward a few years, this is almost the maximum mileage of some pure electric new energy vehicles.
The benefits are clear. For example, a longer pure electric mileage means that you will get a larger pure electric commuting radius.
In fact, even if many people buy a plug-in hybrid model, the pure electric mileage is not enough to meet the needs of daily commuting. Especially in some large cities, there are not a few cases where the place of work and residence are far apart.
The pure electric mileage of the Mocha DHT PHEV of more than 200KM can be well adapted to the demand for longer pure electric mileage. Moreover, more electricity means less oil, and with it comes a reduction in the cost of using a car.
If there is a charging condition, most people are naturally very willing to use the plug-in model as a pure tram. In contrast, the MOCHA DHT PHEV with longer pure electric endurance is undoubtedly more suitable for the role of this "pure electric model".
Of course, from a practical point of view, the original intention of some consumers to buy plug-in hybrid models is precisely because they are subject to charging conditions. Then, when the battery is out of power, how the vehicle fuel consumption becomes the focus of attention. You know, the surge in fuel consumption of plug-in and mixed models in the past in the feed state is not less criticized.
As a product of today's era, the same mistakes of the predecessors mocha DHT PHEV are naturally impossible to repeat. The 5.55L of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of feeder can definitely be called amazing for a medium-sized SUV such as the Mocha DHT PHEV.
Not only that, but while the fuel economy is well controlled, the MOCHA DHT PHEV also has good power performance. Even if it is placed in a new energy vehicle with generally strong power, the 4.8-second zero-hundred acceleration level of the Mocha DHT PHEV is also quite outstanding.
Seeing such a mocha DHT PHEV, many people will certainly involuntarily think of BYD with DM-i in the new energy market. However, judging from the pre-sale price of 299,000-31.5 million, the Mocha DHT PHEV clearly has high aspirations, and Lantu and Ideal may be its more appropriate opponents.
Taking a step back, even if WEY and BYD inevitably meet in the field of plugging and mixing, it is a good thing to have more excellent options for the entire market.
Plug-in hybrid may be a transition, but from the current development of new energy vehicles, and then linked to the actual situation that plug-in hybrid models are indeed in line with consumer needs, plug-in hybrid models will have a long and long life cycle, and it is difficult for the industry to have an accurate time conclusion.
So you will see that not only BYD and the Great Wall, but also Geely, Chang'an, and Chery have also aimed at this opportunity and continue to exert efforts in the field of hybrids. At present, independent car companies have already taken the lead in the new energy vehicle market, and with the further development of the hybrid field, our right to speak in the new energy market is naturally heavier.
