What does the 'F' prefix in new energy vehicles mean?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles with an 'F' prefix indicate hybrid models. Here is a detailed introduction to the types of hybrid vehicles: Parallel configuration: In this setup, the engine serves as the primary power source, while the electric motor acts as an auxiliary power source in a parallel hybrid electric vehicle. Series-parallel configuration: This mode relies solely on the electric motor for low-speed driving, with the engine and electric motor working together at higher speeds. Series configuration: This is a purely electric motor-driven setup for electric vehicles. The components of a hybrid vehicle include: battery, fuel cell, solar cell, and the generator of an internal combustion engine.
I've been driving a new energy vehicle recently, the model starts with F, mainly referring to BYD's F-series new energy models, like the F3 electric car. It's quite cost-effective for city commuting, with a range of around 350 kilometers and fast charging, making it suitable for young people like me for daily use. However, it's important to pay attention to battery maintenance, as the battery degradation becomes noticeable after long-term use. Regular checks on the charging system can extend its lifespan. The F at the beginning represents its positioning as an economical family car, offering high value for money but with average interior quality. Sharing this with everyone, when choosing a car, it's better to look at real owner feedback rather than just the specifications to avoid regretting the purchase.
