How to switch between fuel and electric power in BYD Qin?
2 Answers
BYD Qin can switch between fuel and electric power by selecting different driving modes. The relevant information is as follows: 1. The second-generation DM technology equipped in BYD Qin has four working modes, namely EV+ECO, EV+SPORT, HEV+ECO, and HEV+SPORT. Especially in HEV+ECO mode, different power distributions are made under different working conditions to achieve the best comprehensive economy, allowing for free switching. When the starting speed is below 40KM/H, it is driven purely by electricity. When the speed exceeds 40KM/H and the engine is in the economical fuel consumption zone (1500-3500 rpm), it is driven by fuel. 2. The driving modes of BYD Qin include pure electric plus economy, pure electric plus sport, hybrid plus economy, and hybrid plus sport.
I've been driving my BYD Qin for three years now, and the hybrid-electric switching is truly intelligent. There's a dedicated button on the driver's side labeled 'EV Mode'—just a light press switches it to pure electric drive, making the car whisper-quiet on electricity alone. When the battery runs low, it seamlessly switches back to the gasoline engine without any manual intervention, like during my long trips when the battery was nearly depleted and the system automatically switched to fuel. For daily commutes with stop-and-go traffic, using electricity is more economical, while on highways, the gasoline engine takes over with lower fuel consumption. I make it a habit to charge in advance, keeping the battery above 80%, so I can start most trips on electric power. The car's central display also shows an energy flow diagram, clearly illustrating the real-time distribution between fuel and electricity. Overall, the design is thoughtful and hassle-free, offering a quiet and economical driving experience.
