How to switch between fuel and electric modes in Roewe ei6?
2 Answers
Roewe ei6's fuel-electric switching is based on real-time throttle commands. To switch from pure electric driving to fuel driving, simply press the accelerator pedal to the floor, and the engine will quickly engage. At this point, the vehicle begins to use parallel drive, and the entire process is seamless without any abruptness. The acceleration becomes very rapid, giving the vehicle a powerful feel. Below is a detailed introduction to the Roewe ei6: 1. The Roewe ei6 is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Compared to the fuel-powered version, the plug-in hybrid produces lower fuel consumption. The hybrid system of the Roewe ei6 is very powerful, with smooth and almost imperceptible fuel-electric switching, excellent driving smoothness, strong and dynamic performance, and outstanding noise reduction. 2. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder turbocharged engine and an EDU intelligent electric drive transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 125Ps and a maximum torque of 170N·m. Of course, the ei6's performance cannot be judged solely by the engine data, as it also includes an electric motor. The combined maximum power of the entire system is 228Ps, and the combined maximum torque is 622N·m. Its pure electric range is 53km, and the maximum comprehensive range can reach 705km.
I've been driving the Roewe ei6 for two years, and switching between fuel and electric modes is super easy, usually requiring minimal attention. There's a dedicated button near the steering wheel or on the center console called the 'Drive Mode' switch—just press it lightly to switch. Pure electric mode is ideal for short city trips, offering quiet operation and fuel savings; hybrid mode automatically switches between fuel and electric based on battery level and speed, with the engine providing more power on highways. I recommend checking the battery level before setting off—prioritize pure electric mode when fully charged to save money; use hybrid mode on highways to avoid frequent gear shifts disrupting the drive. If you ever forget where the button is, just refer to the diagram in the owner's manual—it'll take a minute or two to figure out. Remember, don't press it abruptly while driving—safety first.
