Li ONE needs to be charged. Here are the specific details about the Li ONE: Suspension: The front suspension adopts a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent combination. Body dimensions: The Li ONE is an extended-range hybrid vehicle with body dimensions of 5020mm in length, 1960mm in width, 1760mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2935mm. Ground clearance: The minimum ground clearance of the Li ONE is 180mm, its body weight is 2300kg, and the fuel tank capacity is 45L.
The Li ONE, as a range-extended electric vehicle, can indeed be charged, but it's not absolutely necessary. It comes with both a battery and a gasoline engine; if you charge it, you save money and fuel just like a pure electric vehicle, with a pure electric range of around 100 kilometers, making daily commutes virtually oil-free. When not charging, the engine kicks in to generate electricity to power the motor, allowing the car to run as usual without any range anxiety on long trips. I charge mine regularly, with a slow charger installed at home that fills it up overnight at a super cheap electricity rate; for longer trips, just refuel, offering great flexibility. Charging is also more environmentally friendly, reducing emissions, and better for battery maintenance—avoid letting the battery level drop too low frequently to prevent damage. Overall, it's quite hassle-free to use, and I recommend charging whenever possible.
Driving the Li ONE actually requires charging, but it's not a mandatory requirement. As an extended-range electric vehicle, charging enables the pure electric mode to function, which is entirely sufficient for daily short trips and reduces fuel expenses. Without charging, the engine generates electricity to drive the vehicle, so it still runs without any issues. From an economic standpoint, charging is cost-effective: electricity is cheaper and consumes less fuel. When not charging, the fuel consumption is normal, resulting in slightly higher costs. Home charging is convenient—plug it in at night, and it's fully charged by morning. Public charging stations are also an option but slightly more cumbersome. I've also noticed that the car is quieter and more comfortable after charging, and regular charging helps maintain battery longevity. In summary, charging is the preferred option for peace of mind and savings.
