Can New Energy Vehicles Be Converted to Dual-Power (Gasoline and Electric)?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles cannot be converted to dual-power (gasoline and electric). Current pure electric vehicles are driven by batteries and motors, making it impossible to install traditional fuel powertrains. Introduction to Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Hybrid electric vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. They utilize both a fuel-powered engine and an electric motor. During startup and acceleration, the electric motor assists, reducing fuel consumption. Simply put, compared to similarly sized conventional vehicles, hybrids have lower fuel costs. The revolution in the new energy vehicle industry has accelerated the rapid development of hybrid electric vehicles, which boast unparalleled advantages in fuel economy, overall power performance, and driving range. Parallel Hybrid System: One configuration is the "parallel hybrid system," where the engine serves as the primary power source, and the electric motor acts as an auxiliary. This system primarily relies on the engine for propulsion but leverages the electric motor's ability to generate strong torque during startup and acceleration—when fuel consumption is high—to assist the engine and reduce fuel usage. This setup is relatively simple, requiring only the addition of an electric motor and battery to the vehicle.
