New energy vehicles are commonly referred to as "low-emission vehicles" in Japan. Advantages of new energy vehicles: 1. They are more environmentally friendly; 2. They are more cost-effective with lower maintenance costs in the long run; 3. They produce less noise, offering better comfort; 4. They provide stronger and quicker acceleration compared to traditional vehicles, delivering a powerful sense of push-back. Disadvantages of new energy vehicles: 1. Relatively slow charging; 2. Limited vehicle ownership makes charging, refueling, and repairs less convenient; 3. Short driving range and insufficient power make them unsuitable for long-distance travel. Types of new energy vehicles include: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Range-Extended Electric Vehicles, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), and Hydrogen Engine Vehicles.
