Are Hybrid Electric Vehicles Considered New Energy Vehicles?
1 Answers
Hybrid electric vehicles are classified as new energy vehicles. Here is some additional information: 1. New energy vehicles include hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as gas-powered vehicles and alcohol ether vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles combine fuel and electric power, utilizing an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to drive the vehicle, representing a technology that leverages complementary advantages. 2. The primary power source of hybrid electric vehicles is the engine, supplemented by a secondary power source, the battery. The combination of these two sources enhances energy efficiency. The electric motor assisting the engine can generate strong and smooth power during normal driving. During acceleration or startup, the assistance from the electric motor helps reduce fuel consumption.
