Are Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Considered New Energy Vehicles?

[DelJosiah]

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are considered new energy vehicles, as they represent a transitional form between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered vehicles. They incorporate both the conventional internal combustion engine, transmission system, fuel system, and fuel tank of traditional vehicles, as well as the battery, electric motor, and control circuitry found in pure electric vehicles. The maintenance methods for new energy vehicles include: 1. Properly managing charging times; 2. Protecting the charger; 3. Regularly checking the battery to ensure sufficient charge, correctly managing charging times, avoiding high-current discharge, and preventing battery depletion during storage; 4. Timely cleaning; 5. Ensuring waterproofing; 6. Frequently checking tire pressure; 7. Avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.
