What does BYD DM-i mean?

[DeElijah]

DM-i has multiple advantages that lead other hybrid technologies, and its "core concept" is to prioritize electricity with gasoline as a supplement. In terms of architecture, the DM-i Super Hybrid is based on a high-capacity battery and a high-power motor. During driving, the vehicle relies on the high-power motor for propulsion, while the gasoline engine primarily functions to charge the battery. It directly drives the vehicle only when additional power is needed, and even then, it works in coordination with the motor to reduce load. Additional Information: 1. BYD's DM-i Super Hybrid Technology: The core component is BYD's newly developed Xiaoyun Plug-in Hybrid Dedicated Engine, which comes in two different versions—the 1.5L engine is mainly used in the Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used in the larger Tang DM-i model. 2. Advantages of DM-i: When a DM-i model has sufficient battery charge, it operates like a pure electric vehicle, with the motor providing enough power for various road conditions. When the battery is low, the DM-i model autonomously determines whether to use electricity, gasoline, or a combination of both based on system conditions.
