Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. It is said that the tram is not good, and it may be more expensive to replace the battery in the later stage, and there is no way to guarantee the battery life. The hybrid car not only solves the problem of battery life, but is not afraid of the problem of battery replacement. Even a friend said before buying a hybrid car, if the battery is broken, I will drive it as a gas car. As a result, after driving a hybrid car for 3 years, I now calculate an economic account and find that the original hybrid car has three major pain points, and it is not as cost-effective as imagined. Friends who want to buy hybrid models must first understand their shortcomings and not regret buying them.

After driving a hybrid car for 3 years, I calculated an economic account, and found that there were 3 major pain points, and it was not so cost-effective

The first pain point is that the pure electric range is too short. At present, the better hybrid models, one is Toyota, the other is BYD, Toyota's hybrid is not plugged in, it is used like a fuel car, when the speed is relatively slow, it is the default electricity to drive the car, at this time the engine is not working. After the speed is up, the engine and the oil together to push the car to drive, but the shortcomings of this hybrid model are more obvious, it is not like the plug-in hybrid model, there is a certain pure electric mileage, generally speaking, you buy this car is actually when the oil car is opened, which is equivalent to a fuel car with relatively low fuel consumption.

BYD's plug-in hybrid is different, BYD's plug-in hybrid has a certain pure electric range, when the pure electric range is almost used, the engine will be forced to intervene in the work, but even this plug-in hybrid model, its pure electric range is still too short. For example, the one that is now sold is more popular 79,800, and the pure electric range is only 55 kilometers, what is the concept of this 55 kilometers? It is even no exaggeration to say that the version with a range of 55 kilometers can only be bought back as a fuel car with lower fuel consumption. The version with a longer pure electric battery life is much more expensive than the traditional fuel car of the same level, and it is enough to drive for a long time with a little more money to refuel, so it can only be said that this is fuel-saving and not money-saving.

Pain point two, there is a dragon with electricity, and there is no electricity with a worm. Hybrid models due to the assistance of the motor, in the start and acceleration are more advantageous than the traditional oil car, to say that you will feel the power is better when driving this kind of car, the throttle is relatively light, tens of thousands of cars have hundreds of thousands of fuel cars that kind of power experience. But this is based on the fact that there is still electricity, once the power is out, the engine has to charge the battery, and it has to push the vehicle to drive, and the engine itself of the hybrid model is not very powerful, which will lead to the car is very difficult to drive after the power is out, and the fuel consumption is relatively large.

The third pain point is that running at high speed is not fuel-efficient. As the saying goes, whether a car is good or not, whether the power is enough or not to run a high-speed trip to know, high-speed is the car's mirror, whether it is a mule or a horse, you will have the bottom in your heart after running a lap. After the traditional large-displacement gasoline car is on the high-speed, the fuel consumption of 5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers is relatively common, and for this kind of car, it is more fuel-efficient to run at high speed. However, the plug-in hybrid car with the battery, itself is relatively heavy, the engine displacement is relatively small, after the high speed, the engine must be crazy output with the motor drive to increase the car to the ideal speed, which leads to the car's fuel consumption of 100 kilometers remains high.

Originally, everyone bought a hybrid car to run long distances with low fuel consumption without anxiety about battery life, but when I bought it, I found that only in urban areas the fuel consumption can be as low as three or four liters, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers when running at high speed is more than 5 liters per minute, so that the fuel consumption of running at high speed is not much different from that of a fuel car. Because I often run long distances, I plan to buy this kind of car to reduce the cost of using the car, and the illusion is shattered.

But hybrid models also have many advantages, such as a tank of fuel range of 1000 kilometers is a big highlight, say goodbye to the trouble of frequent gas stations, and save a lot of time when running long distances. If you use the car in the urban area for a long time, the fuel consumption of 3 points and a few liters per 100 kilometers is actually more than 2 cents per kilometer, although it is not so economical as a pure electric model, but it is much cheaper than the traditional fuel car on five or six cents a kilometer, and it can save a lot of money in a year.

The above are the 3 major disadvantages of hybrid models, if you want to buy a hybrid model, you must think clearly about whether you can accept these shortcomings, if you can't fight, it is still recommended to honestly buy a pure electric or gasoline type car.
