Do PHEVs Really Need to Be Charged?
1 Answers
PHEV, also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, can recharge the battery not only through the internal combustion engine driving the generator when the battery is low but also by recovering excess kinetic energy to charge the battery, allowing the electric motor to participate in vehicle propulsion. Therefore, long-term non-charging will not affect the battery and motor of plug-in hybrid vehicles. However, to avoid increased fuel consumption, it is recommended to charge promptly. Relevant information: The BinYue PHEV is the first plug-in hybrid SUV under Geely's BMA modular architecture, equipped with P2.5 hybrid technology, making it also the first Geely model to feature both BMA and P2.5 dual architectures. Powertrain: It adopts a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine + 7DCT transmission + ternary lithium battery, with a pure electric range of 62km and an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 6.9 seconds.
