On March 17, 2022, with the release of a new official news, the oil prices that have affected countless car owners have also ushered in the latest trend, gasoline per ton increased by 750 yuan per ton, diesel oil per ton by 720 yuan. On average, since March 18, a family car has been filled with a tank of No. 92 gasoline, which costs tens of yuan, let alone dozens of yuan.

Obviously, this kind of oil price "rising" status quo will have a big impact on the consumption trend of the entire automobile market. If nothing else, in our company, some colleagues have planned to reduce the frequency of driving out, and some colleagues are "gearing up" to immediately change a new energy vehicle to alleviate the impact of high oil prices on the quality of life.
However, although many people say that "new energy" is good, it is not difficult to find out throughout the market that the vast majority of new energy models on the market can basically be said to have their own good before buying, but after buying back, they will find that they are actually their own troubles.
We have conducted many electric vehicle charging tests before, and most of what we have seen are charging piles built by third-party service providers
Why? For example, the pure electric models that are now optimistic about various "emerging brands" are a problem in themselves. Even if manufacturers brag about how good their "super fast charging" is at the press conference, but really on the market, have you seen how many brands can build their own super charging piles on a large scale?
In contrast, hybrid models that save fuel when there is electricity and rely on burning oil when there is no electricity seem to be more reliable. But polishing the eyes and taking a closer look is not difficult to find that some hybrid models on the one hand pure electric endurance is really not enough to see, on the other hand, once the hybrid model is completely out of power, due to its own heavier weight, gasoline engine power is smaller, whether it is driving experience or loss of electricity fuel consumption, and even do not see can be better than pure oil vehicles.
Seeing this, some friends may be in a hurry, so don't you have no car to buy?
For example, the recently unveiled 2022 BYD Han DM series, in our opinion, belongs to the rare new energy models that are more reliable in all aspects.
2022 BYD Han DM series, "hard" strength is extraordinary
Why do we say that? Let's take a look at the hard indicators. The 2022 BYD Han DM series is divided into two power versions, namely the Han DM-i, which focuses on energy saving and fuel saving, and the Han DM-p, which focuses on high performance. Among them, Han DM-i is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5T engine + single motor, and the comprehensive endurance of NEDC can reach 1300km; while Han DM-p is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5T engine + front and rear dual motors, and it takes only 3.7 seconds to accelerate 0-100km.
Doesn't it look cool? Don't worry, that's the part that's next.
First of all, in terms of the core gasoline engine, the entire series of the 2022 Han DM series has been replaced by BYD's self-developed Xiaoyun-plug-and-mix special 1.5T engine. As an important part of BYD's new generation of powertrain, it integrates many cutting-edge achievements in today's gasoline engine design, such as variable-section turbochargers, electric water pumps, and electric air conditioning compressors. In conclusion, this engine has reached 40% in the key thermal efficiency indicators, which is equal to the current level of other first-class gasoline engines in the world.

Secondly, in the battery part, many friends must know that BYD began to concentrate on the research and development of lithium iron phosphate batteries many years ago. Compared with ternary lithium-ion batteries, the biggest advantage of lithium iron phosphate batteries is that the discharge voltage is more stable, and even when the power is low, it can maintain a higher voltage, which means that it is not easy to "lock the power" or suddenly drop the endurance phenomenon on new energy vehicles.

However, in the 2022 BYD Han DM series, the lithium iron phosphate battery equipped with it is a little different, because its entire series is equipped with BYD's latest "blade battery" module. Compared with the old lithium iron phosphate battery, the blade battery design solves the previous energy density shortcoming and greatly increases the battery capacity under the same volume. Coupled with the world's first pulsed self-heating design and the world's leading refrigerant direct contact structure, the new BYD Han DM adaptability to hot and cold weather has been improved under the premise of further compressing the battery volume.
Not only that, but in the motor part of the 2022 BYD Han DM series has also undergone considerable changes. Compared with the original Han DM, the new Han DM-p was upgraded from a single rear motor to a front and rear dual motors, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h was increased from 4.7 seconds to 3.7 seconds, while the pure electric cruising range soared from 81 kilometers to more than 200 kilometers, achieving a comprehensive upgrade in power and endurance performance.
Compared with other BYD-i models, the pure electric mileage of the new Han DM-i has also increased from 110-120 kilometers to more than 200 kilometers, and has a comprehensive endurance of 1300 kilometers. In other words, even if it is only charged and not refueled, it can already meet the needs of many people's weekly commute, and it is expected to be easy to drive for more than a month after filling a tank of fuel. Maybe a month later, oil prices will fall again?
After the upgrade, BYD "Han" is expected to no longer be "lame"
To be fair, whether it is compared with BYD's own previous DM, DM-i models, or many hybrid models currently on the market, the 2022 BYD Han DM series has a very obvious advantage in the most core power and endurance part. And with a new self-developed powertrain and possibly the most advanced battery technology in the industry, the new Han DM series successfully takes into account pure electric endurance, ultra-low fuel consumption, and the convenience of "dual use of fuel and electricity". I have to say that in the current market environment, this advantage also makes its product strength more eye-catching.
So what does this mean? In fact, it is not difficult to trace the sales data previously released by BYD to find that on the one hand, the "Han" series, as BYD's flagship medium and large sedan, has maintained eye-catching market results since its listing. In fact, its current sales in the same class are almost second only to bmw 5 series and Mercedes-Benz E-class, ranking third. However, various data show that in the previous "Han" series, the sales of pure electric models (Han EV) are significantly better than hybrid models (Han DM), which is also in stark contrast to bydir's other models that are basically pure electric and DM "walking on two legs".
Why is that? Obviously, the Han DM before the change was biased towards performance tuning and pure electric endurance was not long on the one hand; on the other hand, at that time, it was indeed not as advanced as Han EV in appearance. Fortunately, these two points have been greatly improved with the appearance of the 2022 Han DM family. These two sets may be the brand's strongest power system at present, but also give consumers a richer choice. The newly upgraded appearance and interior design have also been significantly enhanced in the sense of sport and high-grade, which has further greatly improved the product strength of Han DM.
So this also means that with this revision, the new Han DM series is likely to help BYD achieve a real "two-legged walk" in the medium and large car market with hybrid and pure electric dual versions, which is expected to impact the top position in sales of the same class of models.
In addition to the surge in product strength, production capacity may become the key to breaking the game
Of course, this will also bring a new "annoyance". It should be known that as early as last November, Wang Chuanfu publicly stated that BYD's DM-i platform models have been in short supply, with a backlog of orders of up to 200,000 units. With the sharp upgrade of the 2022 Han DM series, it is almost foreseeable that it will usher in a more severe test for BYD's production capacity.
Fortunately, BYD is not the kind of niche brand that relies on OEM production, as a suzerainty of its own brand, its own production and research and development bases throughout the country are the "basic disk" for them to ensure product delivery time and quality control. According to public information, BYD currently in addition to Pingshan, Xi'an, Changsha and Changzhou and other bases, but also planned Fuzhou, Jinan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen Shantou and Xiangyang and other bases, and counting from January this year, BYD has successively set up a number of new parts subsidiaries in Xi'an, Changzhou, Changsha, including the new Han DM series, DM-i plug-in and mixed model production capacity is also expected to be greatly improved soon.
In other words, as soon as this year, we may see the Han DM series topped the list of actual deliveries of China's medium and large cars, and BYD's Han DM-i and Han DM-p car series are also expected to become a backbone force that cannot be ignored in the entire Chinese new energy market.
