Is the Li ONE considered a new energy vehicle?
2 Answers
Li ONE is classified as a new energy vehicle. Taking the 2020 Li ONE as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with the following dimensions: length 5020mm, width 1960mm, height 1760mm, wheelbase 2935mm, minimum ground clearance 180mm, and a curb weight of 2300kg. The 2020 Li ONE features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It adopts a dual-motor four-wheel drive system, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor that delivers a maximum horsepower of 131ps and a maximum power of 96kw. It is paired with a single-speed electric vehicle transmission.
Yes, yes, the Li ONE definitely qualifies as a new energy vehicle! I've just researched this model, and it uses electric drive as the primary power source, with the engine only responsible for generating electricity and not directly driving the wheels. Under Chinese policies, new energy vehicles include pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and the Li ONE falls into a more specific category within plug-in hybrids called range-extended electric vehicles. This means it can enjoy benefits such as priority for new energy license plates and exemption from purchase tax. I've driven several similar models, and I feel the Li ONE's design effectively addresses the range anxiety associated with pure electric vehicles. Driving it into urban restricted zones isn't a concern. The battery range is long enough, and when charging is convenient, you can use electricity; when needed, you can just refuel to generate power—it's really practical. Overall, this classification makes buying a car more eco-friendly and worry-free, and it's definitely worth recommending.
