Today, with the vigorous development of new energy vehicles, hybrid vehicles have become a popular choice for many people.
After all, such a car can be refueled and recharged, and it is very flexible.
Because of this, my good friend Lao Ma also bought a hybrid car last year. At that time, he told me with great interest that this must be the best choice at the moment, brother, you can buy one too!
However, in recent days, he began to complain to me frequently, saying that the more he used the car, the more aggrieved he became, and he wanted to sell it directly.
I was surprised, and then he reminded me that it did make sense: some people who like hybrid cars may never think about these points.
01 Why do you find it not easy to use?
First of all, it doesn't think it's a "long-distance anxiety", but it comes with "short-range anxiety".
It feels like raising an "electric dad", either charging or on the way to charge.
This sounds a little difficult to understand, but it would be good to understand the characteristics of hybrids: to put it bluntly, the pure electric range of this type of model is too short, and when you travel in the city, the distance is a little farther, and you have to charge it once a day.
In exceptional circumstances, sometimes one charge a day may not be enough.
Switching to hybrid mode can certainly solve this problem, but compared with the electricity price, it is still very distressing.
In his own words: when driving a gas car, the fuel cost of 400 yuan did not blink - and now, the electricity bill of 1 yuan is considered too expensive.
In this case, I must feel upset.
If it's just a matter of frequency, it's not unacceptable, it's just a few more runs.
But the uncomfortable thing is that the charging speed is still very slow: it's like you're hungry, and the back kitchen keeps grinding and doesn't serve food – it's really frustrating.
There have been several times when other people's pure electric cars have left, and he is still messy in the wind, and the whole person is speechless.
Because of this, he felt that he had become a big resentment, so he especially wanted to sell the car.
But it's strange why so many people still buy hybrid cars?
02 But why do so many people buy?
To put it bluntly, most people overestimate their self-discipline and underestimate the attraction of the pure electric mode to themselves.
Before that, comparing the cost of fuel vehicles, I would think: 7 liters per 100 kilometers before, and now 3 liters per 100 kilometers, it's not too comfortable.
But the unexpected problem, even if the electricity bill is cheap, the pure electric mode is more comfortable: free from the limitations of the engine, the car can be so quiet and stable, and the vibration is reduced.
With such a huge difference, there is no going back.
After all, if this can be restrained, why buy a hybrid car and go straight to the pinnacle of life - at that time, is the Maybach not fragrant, or the Rolls-Royce not cool?
Of course, more people ignore the problem of charging efficiency and think that as long as it is charging, the speed should be the same.
But they often forget that mobile phones are divided into slow charging, fast charging, and supercharging, so how can there be no difference between cars?
From a real point of view, the difference in a car is only greater and more complicated than in a mobile phone.
To put it bluntly, pure electric vehicles can already achieve 500kWh of power, and it is difficult for hybrid and range extension to break 100, and it is still hovering in the power range of 50-60kWh.
Such differences often lead to tragedy for many people.
So what can be done? How can you avoid such problems?
03 What should I do?
The advice to everyone is nothing more than 2 points, one is to accurately assess your own needs.
You must understand that there is no such thing as perfection in the world, let alone a perfect car, and you must think clearly about what your true demands are, and then buy a car.
For example, the pursuit of reliable leather is still to buy oil cars, the accumulation of a hundred years of development, there is no need to question this aspect.
The pursuit of economic comfort, then choose pure electric, not only more intelligent, better experience, but also very cost-effective, in addition to dealing with extremely cold weather and ultra-long-distance travel is a bit troublesome, overall is great.
As for hybrid and range extender, it is necessary to understand the essential difference before buying.
To put it bluntly, considering the "economy" to choose the hybrid, the high-speed fuel consumption is lower, and the "intelligent" to choose the range extension, the essence is that the pure electric car comes with a "power bank", and most of the experience is close to the pure electric.
Another point is that unless you buy pure electricity, the tram must have a home charger.
Because whether it is an extended range or a hybrid, the charging efficiency is quite low, and it is really annoying to go out to charge.
In addition, considering that the pure electric range of this type of model is very small, the energy consumption management is also relatively average, and it is often charged after running 100-150 kilometers.
Therefore, the matter of home charging must not be neglected.
And this matter should be sooner rather than later, because the distribution load of each community is limited, especially those old communities, and the pressure ceiling is very low.
Maybe you delay for a few days, directly overloaded, you want to apply, the property and the State Grid will not approve - when the time comes, it will be very passive.
In general, I believe that this situation is not an exception to the old horse.
Many people will also buy hybrid or extended-range cars directly because of their hot heads, and fall into the trap of "oil and electricity".
But what the real situation is, it took a while, and it became clear to everyone - it was not so perfect at all.
To put it bluntly, it is still necessary to be rational, truly analyze your own demands, and then make a decision.
Otherwise, it's too late to regret it!
