"The two-layered connotation of Mocha PHEV "0 Anxiety Travel"
On March 1, Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV was listed, the entire listing process, manufacturers have been emphasizing the "0 anxiety intelligent electric" product positioning, Weipai CEO Li Ruifeng said that can not create "0 anxiety travel", all (commitment? It's all bullshit! Li Ruifeng said this to the core commodity value of private cars.
Manufacturers regard "0 anxiety" as the product label of Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV.
Compared with airplanes, high-speed rail, buses, taxis, and online ride-hailing cars, among various modes of travel, private cars are actually the most expensive, but why do you still have to buy a car?
The most important thing is that the freedom of private cars is the highest among all modes of travel.
The first meaning of "0 anxiety travel" mentioned by Li Ruifeng is that it is relative to pure electric vehicles - travel freedom is the core commodity value of private cars, which cannot be compromised. Private cars must "go wherever you want". At present, pure electric vehicles cannot do this; and PHEV can be oilable and electric, like mocha PHEV comprehensive mileage of more than 1000km, travel freedom is higher than that of fuel vehicles.
Another meaning of the "0 anxiety travel" of the Mocha PHEV is relative to the fuel vehicle. A large SUV is of course more comfortable and easy to use than a car, but the fuel consumption is high! Especially when commuting in urban areas, the fuel consumption of a medium and large SUV per 100 kilometers is often more than ten liters, which will also cause an anxiety at the moment when oil prices continue to rise. An excellent PHEV, pure electric endurance should be able to cover almost all daily commutes, so that short-distance commuting does not burn oil, and when driving in medium and long distances, it can provide ultra-low fuel consumption that is much lower than that of fuel vehicles.
Medium and large SUVs such as Tuang, Ruijie, and Mocha have an actual fuel consumption of more than 10 liters.

"PhEV pure electric endurance is getting higher and higher"
Here there are two key points involved, one is the fuel consumption of the electric power, and the other is the pure electric mileage.
Now many PHEV's power consumption has been comparable to or even better than the level of ordinary HEV, such as the Mocha PHEV two-wheel drive version of the WLTC power consumption has been as low as 5.55 liters, and highland dual engine; BYD Qin PLUS DM-i's power consumption is as low as 3.8 liters, lower than toyota Corolla dual engine; the upcoming Changan UNI-K iDD power consumption is 5.0 liters, which is also better than the same level OFV...
That is to say, now the fuel consumption of PHEV is basically not a problem, and the rest is how much pure electric endurance is appropriate?
Many of the earlier PHEV, pure electric endurance of only fifty or sixty kilometers (if there is no comment in this article, all refer to THE NEDC working conditions), in fact, can only run a thirty or forty kilometers, many use scenarios can not be covered - such as Guangzhou, from the city center to the airport one-way to 40 kilometers - which also led to many PHEV before not very accepted by the market.
The previous generation of Mercedes-Benz C-class plug-in mixed version, pure electric endurance is only 31 kilometers, but the guidance price is as high as 599,000 yuan, and it is inevitable that it will not be sold.
After that, the domestic BMW 530Le took the lead in increasing the pure electric endurance from 61 kilometers to 95 kilometers, and then BYD Qin PLUS DM-i increased the pure electric endurance to 120 kilometers, Beijing Benz's latest E-class PHEV also increased the pure electric endurance to 120 kilometers, and the pure electric endurance of Changan UNI-K iDD reached 130 kilometers.
Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV two-wheel drive smart version of the WLTC pure electric endurance of up to 204 kilometers (converted into NEDC working conditions higher), it has become the longest pure electric endurance PHEV on the domestic market.
After BYD was not willing, a screenshot of BYD's internal product planning on the Internet showed that the pure electric endurance of BYD's next-generation Tang plug hybrid model will exceed 200 kilometers, up to 252 kilometers. A PHEV pure electric endurance race is underway.

"Mocha PHEV pure battery life reduced by half
Maybe better .
So, for users, the longer the pure electric endurance of PHEV, the better?
Of course, if the cost is not increased, the problem is that the power battery is expensive, and the power battery pack is very heavy and occupies space. It should be emphasized that the interior space is very valuable for a private car, and the U.S. EPA is to divide the car model according to the actual interior space.
For a PHEV, longer pure battery life of course requires more power, which means heavier, larger battery packs and higher costs. Therefore, the marginal effect of the increase in the pure electric mileage of PHEV will decrease, exceed a certain value, and even drop sharply, so that the gain is not worth the loss.
This is the power battery pack of a PHEV, with a total power of 18.4 degrees, a package volume of 154 liters, and a weight of 183 kg. Although the energy density of the power battery has been improved by a certain extent, the battery pack is still very large, heavy, and expensive.
Ideal ONE such extended range electric vehicles, pure electric mileage is generally longer, that is because the performance of such vehicles is too poor - weak power, high fuel consumption - and a choice that had to be made; like BYD DM-i, Great Wall DHT and other PHEV, there is no need to pursue too high pure electric endurance.
The "2021 China City Commuting Monitoring" report shows that the average daily commuting distance of 42 cities across the country is 38 kilometers, that is to say, the actual pure electric range of PHEV of 40 kilometers can basically cover the daily commuting needs, roughly calculated, NEDC pure electric endurance needs about 60 kilometers.
However, this 38 kilometers is the average daily commuting distance, in fact, many times the commuting distance is more than 38 kilometers, 70, 80 or even 100 kilometers of the situation is there, as a PHEV owner, personally feel that 60 kilometers of pure electric endurance is indeed less, even half of the use of the scene can not be covered, if it can be increased to 100 kilometers (actually about 80 kilometers), then the proportion of pure electricity mode can be greatly increased to about 90%.
According to the "2021 China Major Cities Commuting Monitoring Report" released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the average commuting radius of the four megacities is 38 kilometers, and the actual pure electric endurance of THE PHEV can reach 76 kilometers, which can basically fully cover the daily commuting needs.
Therefore, I personally believe that for ordinary users, PHEV pure electric endurance of 100-120 kilometers is more appropriate, because higher pure electric endurance can not cover more use scenarios - 200 kilometers of long-distance running is not enough - but will greatly increase the cost of car purchase.
Taking Qin PLUS DM-i as an example, the same is the premium version, the 120 km pure electric endurance version is 10 degrees more electricity than the 55 km version, which is about 24,000 yuan more expensive. Of course, this is worth it, because 55 kilometers of pure electric endurance can only cover 40% of the use scenarios, and 120 kilometers can be increased to more than 90%.
However, if you add 10 kWh of electricity and further increase the pure electric endurance to 185 kilometers, it will not be worth the loss, because by increasing the same battery cost, the increase in the coverage ratio of pure electricity usage scenarios may be only two or three percentage points. Even if the battery cost is further reduced and the energy density is further increased, it is not worth it.
Compared with the WLTC pure electric endurance of 204 kilometers, starting at 295,000 yuan of Mocha PHEV, pure electric life of 130 kilometers, pre-sale of 176,900 yuan of Changan UNI-K iDD is more attractive to me.
WLTC's 204 km of pure electric endurance has become a major selling point of Mocha DHT-PHEV, but it pays a larger battery and higher cost. The MOCHA DHT-PHEV battery pack has a capacity of up to 39.67 degrees, which is larger than many small pure electric vehicles, such as byddy Dolphin Vitality Edition battery capacity of only 30.7 degrees.
If mocha DHT-PHEV produces a 100-kilometer pure electric endurance version, halves the battery capacity, and reduces the price by 50,000 yuan, the young owner believes that the attraction to ordinary users should be greater.
Finally, do a small survey, among the following PEV with a pure electric range of more than 100 kilometers, who would you prefer to choose?
