A popular passage on the Internet recently reads: "No. 95 gasoline is full!" This is a very common thing in the usual way, but in the context of the current sharp rise in oil prices, it is both ostentatious and ironic. At present, many electric vehicle owners and friends must be secretly thankful for their original car purchase choices, indeed! Low energy cost is very fragrant, but to tell the truth is only to save money this one, in order to have no mileage anxiety and reduce the cost of the car, choose a hybrid model with fast charging may be the most appropriate car selection program at present.
When it comes to plug-in hybrid models, most people's impression is definitely to be able to get on the "green card", can enjoy various subsidies and tax policies (different city policies are different), and the focus is also on performance, pure electric endurance and fuel consumption, which are no problems. However, there is a detail that is easy to overlook when choosing a car, but it will have a very big impact on your future experience in all aspects of the car - it does not support fast charging.
The first is the charging time and place, there is no family charging pile or no installation conditions of friends if you choose a plug-in model without fast charging, then the time of charging outside will be as long as several hours, and most of the pile places are parking fees, charging is not expensive, but the time cost and parking costs are not low. In addition, in addition to household charging piles, most of the current public piles are DC fast charging piles, and charging inconvenience is also a very practical problem. After going back and forth like this several times, you may be fortunate to be used as a pure oil car to drive, and this will not save much fuel money than ordinary hybrid vehicles that do not need to be charged, and also affect the driving experience of acceleration, sound insulation and other aspects, which is not worth the loss.
Another point, buy plug and plug mix to choose a version of pure electric endurance, at least to meet your 2 to 3 days of commuting needs, as well as weekend short and medium-distance outing to play round-trip needs, not only to avoid the tedious and excessive time cost of frequent charging, but also as far as possible most of the scenes can use pure electric drive to save fuel money. Therefore, a model with fast charging capability and a long pure electric endurance (preferably more than 100km) is the best choice.
With so much padding, what are the plug-in hybrid models that meet the above conditions and are also affordable for most families? The following three are recommended for you.
The Changan UNI-K iDD, which was just launched not long ago, is the first model of Changan's new hybrid technology "Blue Whale iDD", with a total of two configurations and a price range of 17.69-19.29 million yuan. Tell the truth the price is set very sincerely, there is no more expensive than the original fuel-powered Changan UNI-K high-end model, in addition to the hybrid part is very attractive, the whole series of consistent 30.74kWh large battery provides 130km pure electric long endurance, support fast charging and external discharge function.
Gasoline engine part is blue whale NE1.5T hybrid special engine, with the front permanent magnet synchronous motor, oil and electricity synergy 100 km acceleration can run to 8.1 seconds, in addition, with the help of this hybrid system, Changan UNI-K iDD such a wheelbase of nearly 2.9 meters, the mass of more than two tons of medium-sized SUV, can do 5L / 100km feed fuel consumption, by the current official value, is still very attractive.
In terms of convenient and comfortable configuration that affects everyone's daily experience, the level of Changan UNI-K iDD is basically the same as that of the high-end model of pure fuel power UNI-K, and the entry-level version of 176,900 has an active safety system, full-speed adaptive cruise, an electric tailgate, a 10.3-inch central control screen with intelligent networking function, a 7-speaker Sony audio, a leather/fur spliced sport-style seat, etc., and you don't have to worry about this at all.
In terms of appearance, the iDD logo on the rear can be clearly distinguished from the fuel version, and in terms of household attributes, as a large five-seat SUV with a wheelbase of nearly 2.9 meters, the rear space is very generous. Overall, the price corresponds to the impeccable configuration and excellent value for money. In the future, I will also bring you detailed reports on the driving experience and energy consumption level of this new car, and I am interested in paying more attention to friends.
BYD Song PLUS DM-i is very familiar to everyone, the popularity of this car is so great that it still needs to wait a lot of time to pick up the car (different situations in different places), so the actual time to the owner is not long, it can still be called a new car. Song PLUS DM-i 14.98-20.28 million the price range can make most ordinary families affordable, in terms of economic energy saving, this set of DM-i hybrid system fuel saving capacity does not need to be repeated to everyone too much, after a year of actual testing, the official announcement of 4.4L/100km (51km version), 4.5L/100km (110km) of the feed fuel consumption can indeed be truly referenced, and many car owners normal driving to run to lower fuel consumption, This has been reported in major rider forums.
It should be noted that Song PLUS DM-i is a pure electric endurance of 51km (8.3kWh battery) and 110km (18.3kWh battery) two versions, more recommended choice is the latter 110km version, the former only supports AC charging, the latter long battery life + DC fast charging The obvious advantages have been detailed for everyone in the previous article. In terms of configuration options, the configuration level of the 162,800 DM-i 110km flagship is enough for families to use and is the most cost-effective choice.
The last recommended model is wei brand mocha DHT-PHEV, which is also the only model with fast charging + long pure electric endurance under the current Wei brand system, the price of 29.50-31.50 million must be some friends will say expensive, but the price corresponds to the configuration is not artificially high, after all, the hardware cost is placed here, it can be said that a car can harvest two ways to use the car.
Mocha DHT-PHEV a total of two models (single motor two-wheel drive / dual motor four-wheel drive) are equipped with a large battery pack of 39.67kWh, and support the power of up to 60kW DC fast charging and external discharge function, of which the single-motor two-wheel drive model can achieve 204km WLTC pure electric endurance, almost double the pure electric endurance of the first two models, more than 200km of solid endurance + 60kW DC fast charging, your daily urban travel this car is completely used as pure electric.
If you think that charging 2-3 times a week is still too troublesome, then the daily hybrid mode use is also recommended, the low fuel consumption of the feed state 5.55L/100km (single motor two-wheel drive), for such a medium-sized SUV with a wheelbase of more than 2.9 meters is still quite fragrant. Another concern of users who buy and plug in mixed cars - power performance, this mocha DHT-PHEV is also significantly stronger than the first two models, single-motor two-wheel drive models can achieve 7.4 seconds of 100-kilometer acceleration, while dual-motor four-wheel drive models are 4.8 seconds, proper performance car level.
In terms of configuration choice, the difference between the two models of Mocha DHT-PHEV is 20,000 yuan, the main difference lies in the motor layout, power performance and pure electric endurance, the top dual motor model 4 seconds acceleration for ordinary family users, there is indeed no too necessary demand, 295,000 single motor models have a longer pure electric endurance, lower feed fuel consumption, including a complete set of NOH intelligent pilot auxiliary system is not missing, will be a more practical choice.
Written in the end: The above is to bring you a significant reduction in the cost of the car while solving the mileage anxiety of the car selection recommendation, BYD Song PLUS DM-i has a good reputation and price advantage, Changan UNI-K iDD is very cost-effective, Mocha DHT-PHEV is the highest price, but the strong hardware support in all aspects also brings almost the best level of ordinary household plug-in mixing. If your budget is in the mainstream range of 150,000-200,000, there is no doubt that you should pay more attention to BYD Song PLUS DM-i and Changan UNI-K iDD; if the budget is not so tight, you can go to the offline store to experience the Mocha DHT-PHEV in an all-round way to see if it is in line with your heart.
