Can a Hybrid Car Still Drive If the Battery Fails?
1 Answers
Hybrid cars can still drive when the battery fails. In such cases, both the battery and the electric motor stop working, and the traditional internal combustion engine takes over to continue operation. The working principles of hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. Series Hybrid: Uses the high burst of electric power for initial acceleration, then assists in enhancing performance; 2. Parallel Hybrid: Combines the functions of the battery and fuel tank to deliver powerful performance. Examples of hybrid car models include the BMW i8, Volvo S80, Honda CR-V, Kia Niro, and Cadillac XT5. Taking the 2017 Dongfeng Honda CR-V as an example, it is positioned as a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4585mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1679mm in height, a wheelbase of 2660mm, and a curb weight of 1659kg.
