Why are many people recommended to buy hybrid models when buying new energy models?
Since the era of automotive electrification kicked off, this issue has never stopped, and with the continuous acceleration of electrification, it seems to be the oil to electricity transition products hybrid models, surprisingly began to move to the C position, to win the favor of many car companies and consumers. BYD, Geely, Chery, Great Wall Motor, and other leading independent brands have launched the latest generation of hybrid technology to insert a strong stance between fuel and electric vehicles. And from the market data, from January to May this year, the production and sales of plug-in hybrid cars increased by 1.9 times and 1.7 times respectively, far exceeding the growth rate of production and sales of pure electric models in the same period.
The reason why hybrid models can be promoted from the initial supporting role to the main character, in fact, the reason is also very simple, that is to cater to the current stage of market demand. The pure electric models, which are still in the new stage, have obvious advantages and disadvantages compared to fuel cars. The hybrid model, is more like the fuel car in the "electricity" after a perfect transformation, in the enjoyment of pure tram car experience at the same time, through the advantages of the fuel car to maximize the weaknesses. This characteristic also makes the hybrid models become the top choice for the mid-range consumer market of new energy vehicles.
Although the development pattern of China's new energy vehicle market is changing from a "dumbbell" to a "spindle", the main body driving the progress of this transformation is the hybrid model, not the pure electric model. The reason for this phenomenon is mainly due to the difficulty of replenishing the energy of the vehicle. If you do not have the conditions to install the charging pile or no indoor parking space, then choosing the pure electric models, is undoubtedly inviting an "electric father" home. The pain of getting up at 4 am every day to grab a charging post is something that many of our friends have experienced. If it is in the cold winter season in the north, once the battery temperature is lower than negative 30 degrees Celsius, the electric car will fall into the "poison" mode of difficult charging and fast charging, making people uncomfortable to the extreme.
In addition, pure electric models also face high battery costs, low retention rate, short-range charging slow, replenishment of energy difficult to change powerless, and many other problems, and these problems have been bottlenecked, if there is no breakthrough progress, it will be difficult to get a real solution. This, in turn, is one of the reasons why pure electric models will be highly popular in both high-end and low-end extreme markets. High-end consumers not only have the conditions to install private charging piles, and most household has at least one spare fuel car, and can easily cope with a variety of travel scenarios.
And the low-end consumer market, that is, the current micro and small electric market, the main use is short-distance travel, low price (people can accept this "try" without psychological pressure), charging requirements are not high (Hongguang MINI EV can 220V charging, not too affected by charging piles) and other product characteristics. This also makes it a good choice for many people to pick up their children and buy groceries for commuting. But to make this model take up a variety of family travel scenarios, both space and range are somewhat stretched.
The pure electric model replenishment energy "the oldest problem", fuel cars have high fuel costs at the same time, the driving experience is not as good as the electric car. The two can not make effective progress, their own car budget is limited, and the hybrid models are naturally invited to the stage of the times. There are no higher line cost worries but also can take into account the electric car's quiet, smooth, correspondingly fast driving experience, the key is long-distance travel will not appear range anxiety, but also will not be bound by the charging pile, can easily cope with the needs of a variety of travel scenarios.
However, if there is no charging pile at home, and do not want to spend too much time and energy on vehicle charging. Then the charging function of plug-in hybrid models is somewhat chicken. Although you can provide power through the fuel, the fuel consumption in this mode is relatively high. And people are flirting with the "pants down" extended-range hybrid models and are completely dependent on gasoline to drive the hybrid models, although for many consumers to save a lot of charging "trouble", the overall price is somewhat expensive, especially the hybrid models, the basic The overall price is a bit high, especially for the hybrid models, which are basically tens of thousands of dollars higher than the traditional models.
Finally: at present, in the vehicle replenishment energy has not entered the next stage, can meet a variety of travel scenarios of hybrid models, for many ordinary consumers, is still a good compromise choice. If the charging function is not cold, you can choose the oil-electric hybrid model, if the community or the company is around the charging conditions, then a plug-in hybrid can also be considered. As for range-extended hybrids, that is almost synonymous with the LEADING IDEAL car.
