Are Hybrid Cars Considered New Energy Vehicles?
1 Answers
Hybrid cars are not classified as new energy vehicles. Here is more information about hybrid cars: 1. A hybrid car combines fuel (gasoline or diesel) and electric power, using an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine in driving the vehicle. At the start of the journey, the battery is fully charged, providing sufficient energy to meet the vehicle's demands, so the auxiliary power system does not need to operate. When the battery level drops below 60%, the auxiliary power system activates. When the vehicle requires higher energy, both the auxiliary power system and the battery supply energy to the drivetrain. When energy demand is low, the auxiliary power system not only powers the drivetrain but also recharges the battery. 2. Hybrid cars offer superior fuel efficiency and excellent driving performance. Since hybrid cars still rely on fuel for their engines, the assistance of the electric motor during acceleration and startup helps reduce fuel consumption.
