How often should the Passat PHEV be charged?
2 Answers
The Passat PHEV generally needs to be charged every 3 days. However, the charging frequency depends on the specific usage of the vehicle. The Passat PHEV is a plug-in hybrid model launched by SAIC Volkswagen, based on the transformation of the fuel-powered version. Details about the Passat PHEV are as follows: 1. In terms of power: This plug-in hybrid vehicle is equipped with a hybrid system combining a 1.4T engine and an electric motor, with a maximum power of 155kw and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. 2. In terms of the battery: It is equipped with a 12.1KWH battery pack, and in pure electric mode, the maximum range of this vehicle is 63km.
I use the Passat PHEV for my daily commute, driving about 40 kilometers each day. The car's pure electric range is over 50 kilometers, which basically covers my commuting distance, so I plug in the charger every night when I get home and charge it overnight. The next morning, I start with a full battery and don't consume any fuel at all. Developing this habit is great, especially for short commutes, as charging every night is easy and saves money. Occasionally, when I go out for weekend trips and drive long distances, I switch to hybrid mode, and the fuel consumption remains low. It's important not to let the battery run completely empty to extend its lifespan. Normally, I have a charging station installed in the garage, which is convenient and safe.
