Li ONE can run 600km on pure fuel when out of battery. Here is a detailed introduction about Li ONE: 1. Overview: Li ONE is a smart electric mid-to-large SUV launched by Li Auto in October 2018, equipped with leading extended-range electric technology and intelligent technology. It started delivery in December 2019, and in 2020, Li ONE became the sales champion in China's new energy SUV market. 2. Others: Li ONE is equipped with an extended-range hybrid system, consisting of a 1.2T engine and a new drive motor; the car's fuel tank capacity has also been increased from 45L to 55L; it is equipped with Li Auto's self-developed LiOS system and millimeter-wave radar for assisted driving functions.

As an owner of the Li ONE, I've been driving this car for almost a year, and it can definitely keep running even when the battery is depleted. It has a range extender system that automatically starts the gasoline engine to generate electricity when the battery runs out, functioning like a generator to power the car and keep it moving. Once during a long business trip, the battery showed zero on the highway, which gave me a scare, but after the engine kicked in, I drove smoothly to my destination. The fuel consumption is a bit higher than usual, allowing for a range of several hundred kilometers, depending on the fuel tank size. Daily driving is worry-free, with no fear of a complete breakdown. Although using more fuel isn't eco-friendly, it's highly practical—better than getting stuck with a pure electric car. I recommend keeping some fuel in the tank and checking it before long trips instead of relying solely on charging. Overall, this design makes the Li ONE more versatile, suitable for both city and long-distance travel.

From a technical perspective, the Li ONE is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) that can continue running on its range extender when the battery is depleted. The gasoline engine then burns fuel to generate electricity, powering the electric motor and keeping the car moving. This is similar to a hybrid system and is far more reliable than pure electric vehicles. I’ve had multiple driving experiences with it—power slightly decreases after the battery runs out, but it doesn’t affect daily use. The key is access to gas stations, and the engine efficiency is decent. In this context, such vehicles hold significant advantages during the transition to the electric era, especially for China’s road conditions. In short, drive with confidence—use pure electric mode for daily commutes and carry fuel for long trips. No need to worry about being stranded; just stay aware of the vehicle’s status.

Simply put, the Li ONE can still drive when it runs out of battery. It has a built-in gasoline engine that automatically starts generating electricity when the battery is empty. Like a backup power source, the car won't be immobilized. I find it reliable, especially suitable for family use—no worries when taking kids out. Although it consumes more fuel, as long as there are gas stations, it's fine. Maintain the habit of refueling, and driving remains smooth.

I care about the environment and drive a Li ONE, knowing that when the battery runs out, it switches to gasoline. The gasoline engine generates electricity, allowing the car to keep moving, but this increases carbon emissions. I usually drive in pure electric mode to save fuel, only switching to range extender when the battery is empty. Relatedly, for urban commuting, maintaining a charging routine is crucial to reduce fuel dependency. In the long run, choosing a range-extended vehicle is a balanced choice—enjoying the quietness of electric driving while being prepared for emergencies. Remember, using your car wisely protects the planet.

Love long-distance road trips, the Li ONE can still run when out of battery, thanks to its range extender system for seamless switching. The gasoline engine generates electricity, ensuring continuous power. Once on the Sichuan-Tibet line, I drove all the way with an empty battery, and the engine took over to keep going. Easy to refuel, goes far. Relatedly, it's perfect for adventure-loving friends—just carry some extra fuel or refill in time for worry-free driving. The car is very durable, drive more and worry less.
