What are the 6 types of new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles mainly include fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), hybrid vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles, battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), and other new energy vehicles (such as high-efficiency energy storage devices and dimethyl ether). The following is a detailed introduction: Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV): These vehicles use hydrogen, methanol, etc. as fuel, generating current through chemical reactions and relying on electric motors for propulsion. The energy in their batteries is produced through the chemical interaction of hydrogen and oxygen, converting directly into electricity without combustion. Hybrid vehicles: These vehicles use traditional fuels along with electric motors or engines to improve low-speed power output and fuel consumption. Depending on the type of fuel used, hybrid vehicles can be further divided into gasoline hybrid vehicles and diesel hybrid vehicles. Currently, in China, gasoline hybrid vehicles are the mainstream, while internationally, the development of diesel hybrid vehicles is also progressing rapidly.
When it comes to types of new energy, those six common ones are often discussed in our community: mainly solar energy, which generates electricity from sunlight; wind energy, using wind to power turbines for electricity; hydro energy, generating power through water flow like dams; biomass energy, converting organic waste such as agricultural residues into energy; geothermal energy, utilizing underground heat for heating or electricity; and ocean energy, like tidal and wave power. As an ordinary car owner, I often think about these sources when driving an electric vehicle, because electricity doesn't come out of nowhere—it's supplied by solar panels or wind farms. This not only saves money but is also environmentally friendly. In the future, with technological advancements, every household might install small-scale systems.
Having been in the environmental circle for a long time, I'm particularly keen on new energy sources. The six main types are solar energy—ubiquitous photovoltaic and thermal utilization; wind energy—an endless source of clean power; hydro energy—stable river-based electricity generation; biomass energy—recycling waste materials; geothermal energy—harnessing underground heat; and ocean energy—tidal and wave power. These help reduce pollution, especially in the transportation sector, as they power electric vehicles, improving urban air quality and encouraging people to pay more attention to sustainable lifestyles.
