I don't know if you have noticed that when discussing the models of the range extender, there are a lot of comments on the Internet that belittle the range extender, the most of which are comments on its energy consumption.
When it comes to the fuel efficiency of the range extender compared to the fuel car, many people commented at the bottom, "100 kilometers and 10 oil new energy vehicles?", "take off your pants and fart" and so on. Every time I see these remarks, I feel a little helpless.
In 2023, the growth rate of the range extender will exceed 170%, why are there still such anti-intellectual remarks when people vote with their feet with real money?
In most road conditions, there is no doubt that the range extender model is more fuel-efficient than the pure fuel car, what is there to argue about? Many people say that the range extender is more fuel-efficient than the fuel car, they are holding different levels of models to compare, he will only comment, my car is only seven oil per 100 kilometers, only six oil, but at this time, as long as you ask, what kind of car do you drive? This kind of remarks will be exposed, because he is driving a compact family car, and even has a Fit, and the ideal L9 to compare fuel consumption.
At this time, all the size, weight, level, and power performance are gone, it is hard black, it is range extender garbage, this kind of remarks, there is still a market on the Internet, it is really incredible.
Fit is a small car, ideal L9 is a full-size SUV, Fit curb weight is more than a ton, ideal L9 is 2.5 tons, about equivalent to 2.5 Fit, the fastest 000 acceleration of Fit is more than eight seconds, ideal L9 is more than five seconds, how can these two models be compared together?
And even if you take the Fit, compare the fuel consumption with the ideal L9, encounter some urban congestion road conditions, the Fit is not necessarily more fuel-efficient than the ideal L9, because the fuel vehicle is extremely low in urban road conditions, especially the stop-and-go traffic jam road conditions, the efficiency is extremely low, and the thermal efficiency itself is less than 20%, coupled with the efficiency loss of the gearbox, and the range extender is completely electric drive at this time, and the range extender is only responsible for generating electricity at high efficiency.
This is not to say, the extended-range model can be charged, and the urban area can be completely used for pure electric driving, how to compare the energy efficiency of fuel vehicles and extended-range vehicles?
The ideal L9 is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, with front and rear dual motors, with a total system power of 330 kilowatts, a comprehensive torque of 620 Nm, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds, and a pure electric range of 215 kilometers under comprehensive working conditions.
In terms of comprehensive energy consumption, there is no doubt that the range extender is more fuel-efficient than the fuel vehicle of the same level, and because of the pure electric drive, the range extender is more dimensionally reducing than the fuel vehicle.
Many people don't believe that the ideal L9 can run out of this fuel consumption, but in the winter test of the car emperor, the ideal L9 fuel consumption is 8.92L/100km, this is a test in the cold situation, how much fuel consumption can the fuel car run in this environment? If you are not a person who has no concept of the car, you should know it more or less.
In fact, the biggest black spot of the extended range is the high-speed energy consumption, the so-called internal combustion engine power generation, and then electric drive vehicles, not to mention the extended range model can be charged pure electric driving, even if the high-speed energy consumption of the extended range is one and a half liters higher than the same level of fuel vehicles, is it enough to offset the advantages of the extended range model in other scenarios? Is it enough to affect consumers' purchase decisions?
In the future, the large battery, the small range extension program, will inevitably become the choice of major car companies, and will also become a hot-selling model on the market, pure electric battery life is 3400 kilometers at every turn, with 1.5T range extender, this model has no range anxiety, loss of fuel consumption is also low, compared with pure fuel vehicles is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow.
