DM-i hybrid does require charging. Here are the specific details about the Qin PLUS DM-i: 1. Battery: The Qin PLUS DM-i super hybrid is equipped with the DM-i super hybrid dedicated Blade Battery, utilizing pulse self-heating and the world-leading refrigerant direct cooling technology, ensuring both ultra-long lifespan and reliable safety. 2. Range: The Qin PLUS DM-i offers two versions with pure electric ranges of 55km and 120km. The 55km range version has a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km when the battery is depleted, with a combined range of up to 1180km; the 120km range version also has a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km when the battery is depleted, with a combined range of up to 1245km.
As a tech enthusiast, I'm really fascinated by BYD's DM-i hybrid system. Its coolest design feature is that it runs smoothly without requiring additional charging. The engine automatically charges the battery while driving, so I never have to worry about finding charging stations during my daily commute; the car intelligently switches between electric and engine modes wherever it goes. The fuel consumption is impressively low—based on my experience, it only uses 4-5 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, which saves a lot of money compared to traditional gasoline cars. Of course, charging is an optional bonus—doing so is more eco-friendly and energy-efficient, but the car runs just fine without it. The battery management is highly efficient, and even long periods without charging don't easily degrade it. I think this addresses the biggest pain point of hybrid vehicles, making it ideal for lazy people or those looking to save time. During long trips, the engine kicks in smoothly, ensuring safety and convenience. Overall, the technical design strikes a perfect balance between efficiency and practicality.
