The range of electric vehicles has reached 700~1000 kilometers, why do so many people still buy hybrid carsElectric vehicles have made great progress in recent years, and the range has reached 700 kilometers or even longer. This mileage is enough to meet the daily travel needs of most users, realizing the convenience of no longer needing frequent charging during long-distance travel.
However, despite this, there are still a large number of consumers who choose to buy hybrids, which raises the question of why so many people still buy hybrids instead of all-electric vehicles? First, we need to understand how hybrids work. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that is equipped with both an electric drive system and a gasoline engine.
The vehicle can be fully electric with a battery-powered system, where the fuel engine kicks in to charge the battery or drive the vehicle directly when the battery is low. Compared with pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles have a higher range and a more flexible energy supply method. Although the range of electric vehicles has made a great breakthrough, there are still some users whose needs cannot be fully met.
For example, many people need to travel long distances or across provinces, and high range becomes an important consideration. Although the cruising range of more than 700 kilometers can cope with most long-distance needs, there are still certain inconveniences for some users who need to travel frequently through cities or remote areas.
Hybrid vehicles, on the other hand, have obvious advantages in this regard, as the presence of a fuel engine can provide additional power and range for the vehicle, eliminating the user's dependence on the layout of the charging pile during long-distance travel. Secondly, hybrid vehicles also solve users' concerns about insufficient charging facilities to a certain extent.
Although great progress has been made in the construction of charging piles, there are still problems of insufficient number of charging piles and slow charging speed. For some users, EV charging options may still be relatively limited, especially in some remote areas or emerging cities. Through the use of fuel engines, hybrid vehicles can avoid the dependence on charging facilities and reduce the charging problems that users may face in the process of daily use.
In addition, hybrid vehicles also have certain advantages in terms of price. Hybrids are generally more affordable than BEVs, which makes them more acceptable to consumers. While the price of electric vehicles is gradually decreasing, there is still a certain premium, and hybrids may be a more affordable option for some consumers on a budget.
In summary, while EVs have made great strides in range, hybrids still offer some advantages that make them an option for many consumers. The advantages of high cruising range, adaptability to long-distance travel, lack of charging facilities and a more affordable price make hybrid vehicles still competitive in the market.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the development of the market, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles will grow together in the future, providing users with more choices and convenience.
