What are the new energy vehicle models from Toyota?
1 Answers
Toyota's new energy vehicles include the Levin Twin Engine E+ and the Corolla Twin Engine E+, both of which are plug-in hybrid vehicles. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): These are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. They feature both the conventional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the pure electric vehicle's battery, electric motor, control circuitry, and a larger battery capacity with a charging port. Advantages and Disadvantages of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Compared to non-plug-in hybrid vehicles, PHEVs have a larger battery capacity, allowing for longer driving ranges. If used primarily for short trips with good charging conditions, PHEVs can operate without refueling, functioning like pure electric vehicles and offering their advantages. However, PHEVs are more expensive, have a more complex structure, and are heavier, presenting disadvantages relative to pure fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles.
