1 Answers
Plug-in car refers to: Plug-in new energy vehicles are purely electric new energy vehicles, which are new types of cars powered by electricity, different from traditional cars that run on gasoline or diesel. The electricity comes from the grid, i.e., the national grid in your home, and the car has a power battery to store the electricity. There is also a type called plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which are also recognized as new energy vehicles. In addition to the features of pure electric vehicles, they retain the power system of traditional cars. Advantages and disadvantages of plug-in cars: Advantages: Theoretically, the energy cost is low, as electricity is much cheaper than fuel. Good power performance. Environmentally friendly, with no emissions. License plate and policy advantages—buying a car in a restricted city means getting a plate; exempt from purchase tax. Low maintenance costs, as there are fewer consumables. Disadvantages: The actual usage cost is extremely high. Good charging conditions require having your own parking space, and using public charging stations is not much cheaper than refueling. Charging and range are much worse compared to fuel-powered cars. Residual value is almost negligible, as few car dealers are willing to buy pure electric cars. More expensive than fuel-powered cars.
