Opened 3 years of oil-electric hybrid car, there are words to complain, oil-electric hybrid car 2 major advantages are obvious but 4 major shortcomings are hard injuries, once thought it was very economical, but now it is a loss of money, I advise want to buy new energy vehicles riders must first understand the pure electric, plug-in hybrid, oil-electric hybrid between them, so as not to regret.
The gap between pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles is not in the "three major pieces" but in the charging problem, the current battery technology is still not a breakthrough, at this time the oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid has become a "transition" product, it can be said that the perfect solution to the pure electric vehicle "endurance anxiety" problem, but the new problems of oil-electric hybrid vehicles followed.
Advantage one, very fuel-efficient, a tank of fuel travels more than 1000 kilometers
Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles are mainly divided into two types of plug-in hybrid and oil-electric hybrid, here to Toyota Corolla dual engine oil-electric hybrid to elaborate, to see how big the difference between oil-electric hybrid and fuel vehicles.
First of all, the gasoline-electric hybrid car has more than a set of electric drive system than the fuel vehicle, and at the same time has a fuel engine and a pure electric drive, when the vehicle starts or drives at low speed, if the battery power is sufficient, at this time powered by the motor, the engine will not intervene, when the battery power is less than 50%, the engine starts to charge the battery.
Driving in congested cities, there are more traffic lights, stop-and-go, at this time in a low-speed driving state, mainly motor driven, so it is very fuel-efficient.
When the speed of the car, rapid acceleration, climbing and other scenarios, a short time needs a large torque, at this time the engine intervention and the motor together to provide power for the vehicle, if the vehicle requires less driving force, at this time the engine provides driving force, while also can charge the battery.
Corolla double engine version of the fuel tank 43L, the average 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of about 4-5L, to the city road, the general fuel consumption in 4L more than 4L, to 4.2L as an example, a full tank of fuel can travel 1023 kilometers, according to the current 92 gasoline 7.5 yuan / L unit price to calculate, 100 km cost of 31.5 yuan.
The same 1.6L displacement Corolla fuel vehicle, 100 km fuel consumption of about 6.8L, that is to say, with the same 43L of gasoline, the fuel car can only run about 630 km.
Similarly, according to the current unit price of 92 gasoline 7.5 yuan / L, the cost of 100 kilometers is 51 yuan, which means that the fuel saving rate of the oil-electric hybrid model is about 40%.
Advantage two, power experience, comfort performance is better than fuel vehicles
In particular, the fuel-electric hybrid model is provided by the motor when starting, low speed, and idle speed, which is the same as pure electric vehicles, and the motor can effectively make up for the weakness of the low-speed torque force of the fuel vehicle engine, thereby providing continuous, linear power output, and the power is followed.
Similarly, in the motor drive mode, there is no engine jitter and noise, the car appears to be more quiet and comfortable, even if the engine intervenes, after several years of upgrading and improvement, now has made great progress, there is no strong sense of abruptness, it seems more natural.
Although the fuel-electric hybrid model is fuel-efficient and has a better driving experience, the corresponding 3 major shortcomings are the pain points, whether a car is good or not, all depends on whether its shortcomings can be accepted by people.
Pain point one, save fuel but do not save money
Above we calculated, the Corolla dual engine version of the 100 km fuel costs about 31.5 yuan, and the same fuel vehicle 100 km fuel cost of 51 yuan, if we travel 15,000 kilometers in 1 year, the total cost of the Corolla double engine version is 4725 yuan, and the fuel car fuel cost needs 7650 yuan.
Assuming that a car is used for 10 years and travels 150,000 kilometers, the total fuel cost of the Corolla Dual Engine Edition is 47,250 yuan, and the total fuel cost of the fuel vehicle is 76,500 yuan, which means that the Corolla Dual Engine Version has saved 29,200 yuan in 10 years.
But let's go back and calculate that the Corolla dual engine version of the new car is 126,000, while the fuel car is only 96,000, that is, it costs about 30,000 more to buy a gasoline-electric hybrid than a fuel vehicle.
The extra money spent is equivalent to the need to use more than 150,000 kilometers of cars to be flat, if the mileage is less than 150,000 kilometers, then buying a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle is equivalent to a loss.
Pain point two, low retention rate
Due to the low current market ownership of oil-electric hybrid models, there is also no complete set of second-hand evaluation system, many car owners have misunderstandings or lack of understanding of oil-electric hybrids, and some even think that oil-electric hybrids are currently immature.
The two sets of power systems, whether in system technology or parts loss, are certainly more expensive than fuel vehicles in terms of maintenance and repair after a few years, so they are not optimistic about oil-electric hybrid models, and the natural second-hand retention rate is also low.
The retention rate of the Corolla double engine version in the first three years was 72.27%, 66.06% and 57.87%, respectively, while the retention rate of the same fuel vehicle in the first three years was 81.32%, 70.00% and 63.82%, respectively, if you want to sell the car after 3 years, the Corolla oil-electric hybrid will sell nearly 10,000 yuan less.
When buying a new car, the price of the car is more expensive, but when it is sold, it is sold less, so it is indeed not cost-effective, and many car owners regret it.
Pain point three, the power battery problem still exists
The power battery of the hybrid model of oil-electric vehicle and pure electric vehicle battery, the first face is the battery warranty problem, of course, the general manufacturer promised 8 years or 160,000, 200,000 kilometers of warranty, but after exceeding the warranty period, if you need to replace the battery at your own expense, it is also a big cost.
In the case of Corolla Dual Engine, the power battery capacity is about 1.59kwh, according to the current cost of such batteries on the market, it takes nearly 10,000 to replace such a battery, which is what many car owners are unwilling to pay.
Secondly, "high-speed driving + winter low temperature + open air conditioning" is still the soft underbelly of the oil-electric hybrid model, the original pure electric endurance can reach 10 kilometers, affected by the subsequent navigation reduction, may only be up to five or six kilometers, which means that the engine needs to be charged in advance and multi-frequency, which will naturally increase fuel consumption.
Disadvantage four, there is no "green card" qualification
At present, among the new energy models, only pure electric and plug-in hybrid can enjoy the "green card" treatment, while the oil-electric hybrid and the range increase are fuel models and do not have the "green card" conditions.
In fact, the biggest advantage of several models such as oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and range extender is that they are energy-saving and fuel-saving, and the advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also prominent.
What is the difference between plug-in hybrid vehicles and oil-electric hybrid and pure electric vehicles?
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, it has the advantages of pure electric vehicles, but also has the advantages of fuel vehicles, its power battery general capacity of about 10kwh, pure electric mode mileage are about 50-100 kilometers.
Daily car, priority default use of pure electric drive, when the battery is insufficient, the fuel engine begins to intervene to provide power, that is, if the daily car radius is within 100 kilometers, it is rarely necessary to use the fuel engine.
And charging to save money This is one of the advantages of pure electric vehicles themselves, plug-in hybrid naturally has, but pure electric vehicles are afraid of cold in winter, afraid of heat in summer, afraid of high speed, afraid of air conditioning charging difficulties, slow charging, low retention rate, new car prices are far more expensive than fuel vehicles, etc. These weaknesses, plug-in hybrids are not falling, the only advantage is to solve the problem of endurance anxiety.
All in all, only from an economic point of view, for family cars, in general, a car's annual mileage is generally within 20,000 kilometers, and it is difficult to exceed 150,000 kilometers in 10 years.
Coupled with the low retention rate of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles after 10 years, relative to fuel vehicles, the price of second-hand cars will lose nearly 10,000, and after more than 10 years, maintenance costs will gradually increase, if you need to replace the battery at your own expense at this time, it is indeed very uneconomical.
In short, the advantages of oil-electric hybrid vehicles are obvious, it is nearly 20%-45% more fuel-efficient than fuel vehicles, which is very suitable for daily urban transportation, especially in the first and second-tier congested cities, the fuel saving effect is more obvious, similarly, it is no problem to run long-distance naturally, and both take into account.
If you consider the economy, daily use of more cars, the annual mileage of more than 20,000 kilometers, in recent years do not consider the change of cars, and feel that plug-in hybrid models need to be often charged is troublesome, then choose oil-electric hybrid models.
If charging is convenient, most of the daily transportation, and in the limited number, limited license city, do not care much about the economy, more in the pursuit of power performance, comfort, sense of science and technology, then choose pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid.
Oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid This is the current fuel vehicle to pure electric vehicle transformation of the "transition product" advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also pain points, all depend on their own car scenarios and their own preferences, no matter which one to choose will not have a big problem, and with the innovation of battery technology, the mainstream must be pure electric vehicles or hydrogen-powered vehicles.
