Are plug-in hybrids fuel-efficient for long-distance driving?
1 Answers
When the car battery has power, the fuel consumption in plug-in hybrid mode is lower than in fuel mode. Once the battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is depleted, the car's power comes entirely from the engine, and its fuel consumption is the same as that of a conventional fuel-powered car. Currently, some of the better-performing plug-in hybrid models include the BYD Qin and the Roewe ei6. Specific details are as follows: 1. BYD Qin: The BYD Qin hybrid version has a pure electric range of 80 kilometers, a maximum output power of 223 kW, a maximum torque of 440 Nm, a top speed of 185 km/h, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, and a combined fuel consumption of 1.4L/100km as announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 2. Roewe ei6: The Roewe ei6 hybrid version has a pure electric range of 51 kilometers, a maximum output power of 224 kW, a maximum torque of 480 Nm, a top speed of 200 km/h, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds, and a combined fuel consumption of 1.5L/100km as announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
