Can a Hybrid Version Be Driven as a Gasoline Version If the Battery Fails?
1 Answers
For hybrid models, in terms of vehicle construction, they are equipped with two power systems. When the battery of a hybrid version is damaged, theoretically, it can be used as a gasoline vehicle. Here is some extended information: 1. How plug-in hybrids work: When the vehicle's battery is charged, it powers the vehicle. When the battery is depleted, the fuel engine then intervenes to maintain energy output. When the battery is damaged, it essentially functions like a traditional gasoline vehicle. However, there is an issue. For hybrid vehicles, their transmission differs from that of conventional vehicles; they are equipped with an eCVT transmission. According to the transmission's operational conditions and settings, the eCVT transmission requires the battery system to function normally for gear shifting. 2. Fuel consumption may increase appropriately: If you wish to continue driving, the main consequence for the vehicle is that fuel consumption may increase appropriately. Hybrid models are significantly heavier than conventional gasoline vehicles in terms of overall weight. Therefore, when the battery is damaged, the vehicle's engine not only has to power the vehicle but also has to carry the weight of the heavy battery, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. 3. Long-term failure to repair or replace the damaged battery: Theoretically, this does not have much impact on the vehicle, but it eliminates any advantages of hybrid operation, making the vehicle more fuel-consuming and increasing the cost of use.
