Is the Lynk & Co 06 a new energy vehicle?
1 Answers
Lynk & Co 06 is a new energy vehicle, specifically a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), which qualifies for green license plates. New energy vehicles are categorized into pure electric vehicles (PEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). Pure electric vehicles are powered by electric motors, with energy sourced from battery packs. They are characterized by low noise, rapid power response, and zero pollution. However, the current infrastructure of charging stations is insufficient, limiting their use to short-distance commuting within cities. Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, where each system can operate independently. A key feature of hybrid vehicles is their excellent fuel economy, as the electric motor assists during gentle driving and startup, allowing the engine to remain idle. Both plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids fall under the category of hybrid vehicles. However, plug-in hybrids can recharge their batteries via an external power source and allow manual selection of the power delivery mode. Fuel cell vehicles generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, converting it into kinetic energy to drive the vehicle without environmental impact. Due to high costs and technological limitations, fuel cell vehicles have not yet achieved widespread adoption.
