With the increasing fuel prices, the increasingly stringent license and traffic restriction policies in many places, and the continuous development of related technologies, hybrid models that can be "oiled and electric" and have no range anxiety have become the first choice for many consumers when buying cars. Various car companies have also made efforts in the field of hybrid vehicles and launched a series of related models. However, the dazzling array of hybrid technologies on the market has made it difficult for many consumers to buy a car. So, which technology is the best solution for hybrid models at this stage? If you have similar questions in your mind, the following content will surely solve your doubts.
As the car company with the highest sales volume of new energy vehicles at this stage and the first car company to complete the transformation from pure fuel to 100% new energy, the painstaking research and development of DM-I technology has made great contributions to BYD's take-off. This set of hybrid solutions based on single-speed hybrid technology has the characteristics of low fuel consumption in the feeding state, acceptable fuel consumption under high-speed working conditions, and affordable price, and the guide price of Qin PLUS DM-I has been "hit" into less than 100,000 yuan, which caused a lot of sensation at the time. But it is accompanied by a very short pure electric range, quite average handling and "soft" acceleration performance in high-speed conditions. After all, the models equipped with the DM-I scheme have only one forward gear, and they cannot be changed in the face of urban areas, high-speed, and even off-road conditions, which makes such models more suitable as a "means of transportation" in the urban area, not to mention the word "all-round".
However, not all car companies have enough time and cost to deepen their efforts in new energy technology. In recent years, a number of new car-making forces need to produce results in a short period of time, gain a firm foothold in the market, and be responsible for investors. Therefore, the traditional range extender with low technical difficulty and more mature scheme has become the object of bet by car companies such as Ideal, Leap, Nezha, etc., and Ideal has also become the first car company to achieve profitability among the "three new forces" Weilai, Ideal and Xiaopeng by relying on the traditional range extender scheme. In terms of technology, the traditional range extension technology puts "inductance" in the first place, and the vehicle has a very fast power response and good quietness when the battery is sufficient, and the pure electric range is often better than that of the traditional PHEV model with the blessing of a large battery. However, overemphasizing "electricity", but also makes the traditional range extender models have unavoidable drawbacks, once they fall into the state of feeding, the traditional range extender models will become "noisy and expensive", the noise of the range extender, the efficiency loss caused by the "range extender - generator - drive motor - wheel" makes the original advantage in the full power state disappear.
In addition to the above two mainstream solutions, some car companies will choose off-road & track-type special hybrid solutions, or adopt the "oil hybrid + electric hybrid" method, but the former is a model built to meet extreme needs, and the price and other aspects of the experience are relatively average. The latter is the embodiment of the "slow transformation" of some traditional car companies, which is essentially still a fuel vehicle mentality, and even new energy-related policies cannot be enjoyed.
When various hybrid solutions have advantages and disadvantages and consumers need to choose by themselves, Lynk & Co came to the new energy market with the EM-P super extended range electric solution based on multi-gear hybrid.
First of all, in the face of the problems of poor driving quality, high fuel consumption and weak power in the traditional extended range state, the Lynk & Co EM-P super extended range electric solution adopts a series-parallel structure, retaining the direct drive path of the engine, so that the vehicle can have strong power even in the feeding state, avoiding the problem of "goose plucking" in the traditional extended range power transmission, reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle and ensuring the car experience.
Secondly, such as DM-I and other single-speed hybrid solutions face the problem of single gear, weak power in high-speed working conditions, Lynk & Co based on multi-gear hybrid technology to create a solution, with three forward gears, can be said to fundamentally solve this problem, while retaining the advantages of single-speed hybrid technology, in the face of acceleration overtaking and insufficient power can achieve downshift and torque increase. When encountering high-speed and long-distance working conditions, it can also automatically select high gear to achieve low-speed cruising, so as to reduce energy consumption and avoid the loss of engine at high speed.
In addition, even in the off-road sector, which is not good at traditional range extension and single-speed hybrids, the Lynk & Co EM-P super extended range electric solution also has excellent performance, in the face of off-road scenarios such as climbing, relying on the super torque and sensitive response brought by the P4 motor, as well as the large speed ratio of 1 gear, to achieve low-speed intervention drive, in order to get more torque, to help conquer off-road conditions.
Therefore, to say that the optimal solution of hybrid technology at this stage is probably the Lynk & Co EM-P super extended range electric solution based on multi-gear hybrid, after all, it is "unique" to achieve a hybrid solution that can achieve high-speed and non-soft, long-distance and off-road without panic.
