Buying new energy vehicles, hybrid is not as good as pure electricThe so-called ultra-long battery life is actually useless?
Recently, there have been frequent social media of some new energy hybrid car owners, among which the protagonists have expressed some regrets about buying hybrid models. What is the reason for these car owners to hesitate and regret?After in-depth understanding, it was found that although the original intention was to get rid of the range anxiety of pure electric vehicles, and to enjoy the low cost and low fuel consumption of pure electric driving, some challenges were exposed in actual use.
1.Range anxiety counterattack: frequent charging has become a problem.
One of the motivations for the owners of the initial choice of hybrid vehicles is to enjoy the long range and avoid the range anxiety of pure electric vehicles. However, the problem is that in order to make the most of the pure electric range, hybrid car owners will choose pure electric driving as much as possible, regardless of the length of the commuting distance. As a result, even if the commuting distance is not long, car owners need to charge frequently, and even some car owners with a slightly longer commute distance need to charge every day, which greatly increases the frequency of charging. In contrast, pure electric new energy vehicles are basically charged once a week.
2.The cost of driving at a loss of power is too high: long-distance use reduces practicality.
Hybrid owners initially considered being able to cope with high-speed, long-distance and other situations, and the engine could continue to drive with fuel without worrying about charging. However, the reality shows that most car owners rarely make long drives. Hybrid vehicles with engines, need to consider the shelf life of gasoline, and at the same time increase maintenance expenses, for many car owners, long-distance driving is not commonplace, making the cost of driving at a loss of electricity in hybrid vehicles too high, becoming more than worth the loss.
3.Practical value of hybrid vehicles: The choice of those with average commuting distances.
Despite some challenges, hybrid vehicles still have some practical value. Hybrid vehicles still have a place for certain drivers who have long commuting distances or need to make frequent long-distance trips, such as one-way commuting distances of more than 300 kilometers and nearly 700 kilometers round trip. For this part of the car owners, the advantages of hybrid vehicles in terms of comprehensive range are obvious.
4.The Rise of Pure Electric Vehicles: An Increasingly Practical Option.
Under the trend of continuous downward exploration of power batteries, pure electric vehicles have gradually met the standards of the only family car in terms of both battery life and battery life. For car consumers with average commuting distances, pure electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option. Therefore, in the selection of new energy vehicles, it is necessary to make comprehensive trade-offs according to factors such as individual commuting needs, frequency and dependence on charging facilities.
5.How to choose a new energy vehicle: personalized advice.
Considering the actual situation, it is a wiser decision for car owners who have a strong demand for long-distance travel and cannot accept multiple refueling of pure electric vehicles. In addition, if you have a limited budget but still want to experience new energy vehicles, hybrid models are also a good first choice. Therefore, the choice of new energy vehicles needs to be different from person to person, and personalized decisions should be made according to individual needs.
Epilogue. The emergence of hybrid vehicles has filled the shortcomings of pure electric vehicles in terms of range and charging facilities to a certain extent, but it also faces some challenges in practical use. The gradual rise of pure electric vehicles provides consumers with a more practical choice. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the development of the market, the choice of new energy vehicles will be more diversified, and consumers can make rational decisions more flexibly according to their own needs.
