Is Tesla a Hybrid or Pure Electric Vehicle?
1 Answers
Tesla's vehicles are all pure electric. New energy electric vehicles adopt new power sources, with their main power derived from electric motors. Tesla is a pure electric vehicle manufacturer based in Silicon Valley, USA, specializing in the production of pure electric cars. The Model 3 comes in three configurations: the Rear-Wheel Drive Standard Range, the Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range, and the All-Wheel Drive Performance. The rear-wheel-drive models are single-motor vehicles, while the all-wheel-drive models are dual-motor vehicles. The rear-wheel-drive model's motor has a maximum power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 375 Nm. The all-wheel-drive model's two motors combine for a total power of 340 kW and a total torque of 639 Nm. The Model 3 lineup uses ternary lithium batteries, which are also employed by most pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Ternary lithium batteries offer higher energy density and lighter weight. The Model 3 features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
