Are Hybrid Vehicles Suitable for Use in Extremely Cold Regions?
1 Answers
Hybrid vehicles can be used in extremely cold regions, but it is recommended to choose hybrid models equipped with PTC heaters or those with a wider operating temperature range for the battery pack. The PTC heater consists of PTC ceramic heating elements and aluminum tubes, featuring a wide voltage usage range, non-combustibility, safety, reliability, and rapid heating. If the operating temperature range of the hybrid vehicle's power battery pack is broader, the activity of the power battery pack will not decrease significantly when encountering severe cold, ensuring better performance of the hybrid vehicle in winter. A hybrid vehicle refers to a car equipped with two power sources simultaneously, namely a thermal power source and an electric power source.
