When the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has exceeded 50%, becoming the majority in a certain sense, in fact, the technical "contempt chain" of new energy vehicles has also been formed. On the whole, the new energy vehicle contempt chain on the network is probably 800V high-voltage pure electric is stronger than 400V pure electric, pure electric vehicles are stronger than multi-gear plug-in hybrid vehicles, and multi-gear plug-in hybrid vehicles are stronger than single-gear plug-in hybrid vehicles......
So for a long time before, many netizens and manufacturers will criticize the backward technology of extended-range electric vehicles, which is not as advanced as other new energy vehicles, of course, this has also triggered a thinking of many small partners, that is, pure electric is not LOW, right? Pure oil is not LOW, right?
In fact, many small partners look down on extended-range electric vehicles, mainly because of two aspects, one is because the extended-range electric technology has appeared very early, and long ago, some overseas brands and car companies have carried out research and development and production, but ultimately failed. Therefore, many small partners believe that foreigners have not succeeded in "bad technology", and now domestic car companies are "frying cold rice", and extended-range electric vehicles are first of all "expired technology".
At the same time, the core structure of the extended-range electric vehicle is the engine + battery pack + drive motor, without a gearbox, and the extended-range electric vehicle does have a relatively high fuel consumption. Therefore, many people will think that some manufacturers focus on extended-range electric vehicles, but they have no technical reserves, and there is no way to get the engine and gearbox, so they can only take shortcuts and use the simplest technology.
Although many netizens and manufacturers feel that the extended-range electric vehicle is relatively low at the technical level, the extended-range electric vehicle has been recognized by more and more consumers and manufacturers, such as in March, the top four brands of the new domestic car-making force are mainly extended-range electric vehicles, and the ideal and the world, the main focus is high-end extended-range electric vehicles, consumers are very recognized! Moreover, Chery's Xingtu Automobile has also recently pre-sold its first extended-range electric vehicle product, the Star Era ET, and traditional manufacturers have also begun to embrace extended-range electric vehicles.
So why are LOW extended-range electric vehicles becoming more and more popular on the Internet and in the mouths of many manufacturers?
First of all, of course, the extended-range electric vehicle is more in line with the actual use needs of more consumers. For most car users, short-distance commuting, such as going to work, picking up and dropping off children to and from school, occupies the vast majority of mileage, and the proportion of high-speed or long-distance is relatively small, so many consumers buy this kind of oil-powered model, they will want to start the engine as much as possible, because the energy consumption and experience of pure electric driving are too friendly, especially in the context of high oil prices.
As long as the power of the extended-range electric vehicle is not particularly low, it can not start the engine, even in the case of high power output. Therefore, for most users, the extended-range electric vehicle is a pure electric vehicle with a fuel charging treasure on its back, so the occasional high fuel consumption over long distances does not affect the use experience most of the time.
In fact, the cost is low, the extended-range electric vehicle does not have a complex structure of the gearbox, so the overall production cost is relatively low, then the low cost can bring lower prices, for most consumers, can buy a daily large amount of electricity, and the price is not high, it is also very reasonable, and the extended-range electric vehicle driving is smoother, and the full electric drive is conducive to the landing of high-end intelligent driving assistance.
So since the extended-range electric vehicle is suitable for the needs of many consumers, some manufacturers still want to criticize the extended-range electric vehicle?
The reason is very simple, the lips are all "isms", and the mind is full of "business", whether it is a pure electric manufacturer or a plug-in hybrid manufacturer, criticizing the technology of extended-range electric vehicles backward or relatively low, the core reason is because extended-range electric vehicles threaten their sales. Because whether it is a multi-gear plug-in hybrid or a high-voltage pure electric, the cost is relatively high, so the price will be relatively high, especially when the configuration, size, and power performance are similar. So how can consumers be "convinced" to buy their models that are very expensive and may not meet the actual needs of consumers without criticizing the lower range electric vehicles?
So in fact, in essence, the extended-range electric vehicle itself is not LOW, but in those who hope that consumers do not choose to extend the range, choose their products under the "rendering", extended-range electric technology has become synonymous with backward technology!
