How to Switch Between Gasoline and Electric Modes in Hybrid Vehicles?
1 Answers
This is generally controlled automatically by the computer, with the engine engaging when a certain speed is reached. Some models allow manual control, switching directly between hybrid and pure electric modes. EV stands for pure electric mode, while HEV indicates hybrid mode. Below are the characteristics of hybrid vehicles: 1. With a hybrid system, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined based on average power needs. 2. Thanks to the battery, energy can be easily recovered during braking, downhill driving, and idling. 3. In busy urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be turned off, allowing the battery to drive alone, achieving 'zero' emissions. 4. The internal combustion engine conveniently addresses high-energy-consuming challenges faced by pure electric vehicles, such as air conditioning, heating, and defrosting. 5. The battery can be maintained in good working condition, avoiding overcharging or over-discharging, thereby extending its lifespan and reducing costs.
