How to Properly Charge a Hybrid Electric Vehicle?
1 Answers
There are two types of hybrid vehicles. Standard hybrid electric vehicles: can charge the battery while driving. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: consume battery power and generally do not charge. For plug-in hybrid vehicles, such as the Changan Ford Mondeo 2018 plug-in hybrid, since the drive motor does not have the ability to charge the battery, the battery power is always in a state of consumption without replenishment. Let's take Toyota's Leiling dual-engine hybrid electric vehicle as an example. During the vehicle's coasting phase, the drive motor converts into a generator, which transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy to charge the car's battery. The Leiling battery has a range of 40 kilometers, but due to charging capacity, as long as the battery display is normal, there is no need to charge it at any time. Therefore, it almost always needs to be charged before every trip.
