How many kilometers can the Avalon run in EV mode?

[LeAbigail]

The EV mode of the Avalon refers to the pure electric mode. The range of the Avalon in pure electric mode is relatively low, and it can run about 20 kilometers in EV mode. Introduction to the Avalon: The Avalon is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with a body length of 4975mm, width of 1850mm, height of 1450mm, and a wheelbase of 2870mm. The fuel tank capacity is 60L. The Avalon is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 154 kW at 6600 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut front suspension and E-type multi-link rear suspension. Introduction to EV mode: EV mode is the pure electric drive mode, where the car's power is entirely driven by the electric motor. This mode can be found in plug-in hybrid models, which can be driven by either fuel or EV mode. To better distinguish, EV is used to represent the pure electric mode.

Owners of the Asian Dragon Hybrid understand all too well that the pure electric range in EV mode is honestly not long, with a full charge lasting at most about two kilometers. I rely on it daily to avoid fuel-consuming traffic jams during my commute, but if I press the accelerator too hard or exceed 40 km/h, the engine kicks in. The car's battery capacity is quite small, and the actual distance depends on road conditions and gradients, with the range dropping to about 80% in cold temperatures. As a family car, I'm more focused on its advantage of a combined fuel consumption of 5 liters. Using electric power for short trips indeed saves a significant amount on fuel costs each time.

As an engineer and owner, I've tested the EV mode of the Asian Dragon Hybrid. Under ideal conditions, it can only run 1-3 kilometers. The actual range depends on three variables: the initial battery charge typically lasts only 5 minutes in pure electric mode, the speed must be maintained below 40km/h to stay in pure electric state, and a 20% increase in load reduces the range by half a kilometer. Once, I deliberately started and stopped the car over a dozen times in the garage to deplete the battery. This design is more about meeting zero-emission requirements during parking and maneuvering.

The Asian Dragon's EV mode acts more like an energy-saving assistant. I mainly use it in three scenarios: creeping for one kilometer in traffic saves 0.1L of fuel, pure electric operation during parking maneuvers in residential areas, and quiet, eco-friendly idling with AC on while waiting in summer. Real-world testing shows a maximum pure electric range of 3km, but each start-stop cycle regenerates power - small savings accumulate to about ¥200 monthly fuel cost reduction. This mode proves most practical during traffic light starts, where the motor's instant torque delivery is significantly smoother than the combustion engine.
