Do Cars Need to Be Charged?
1 Answers
Some do and some don't. It can be viewed from the following aspects: Plug-in: Plug-in is directly driven by fuel, and the engine can simultaneously recharge the battery. The battery and motor can also discharge to assist the engine (not simultaneously). Range extender: The range extender generates electricity and then is driven by the motor, which can be regarded as electric transmission. The engine can simultaneously recharge the battery, and the battery can also discharge to supplement power (not simultaneously). Toyota-style traditional hybrid: In Toyota-style traditional hybrids, part of the power is provided directly by the engine, and part of the power is generated and then driven by the motor. Mechanical transmission and electric transmission take effect simultaneously.
