Range-extended electric vehicles are a type of purely electric-driven vehicles, including electric cars, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles, equipped with both ground charging and on-board power supply functions. Their powertrain consists of a power battery system, power drive system, vehicle control system, and auxiliary power system. The advantages of range-extended electric vehicles are as follows: Can operate in pure electric mode: Requires a smaller battery capacity, resulting in lower costs and no risk of running out of power and stalling. Can operate in plug-in hybrid mode: Further improves fuel efficiency compared to conventional hybrid vehicles. Smaller battery charging power: Eliminates the need for large-scale charging infrastructure. Battery charging and discharging can be shallow:

The Ideal range-extended electric vehicle is actually a pretty cool technology. As someone who enjoys studying cars, I think it's essentially an electric vehicle equipped with a small engine that serves as a range extender. This engine doesn't directly drive the wheels but is responsible for generating electricity to recharge the battery when it's running low, allowing the car to travel farther. Simply put, for daily commuting, you can drive entirely on electric power, saving fuel and enjoying a quiet ride. For long-distance trips, you don't have to worry about charging stations as much as with pure electric vehicles because the range extender keeps the car moving, easily achieving a range of over a thousand kilometers. Unlike plug-in hybrids, where the engine can directly drive the wheels, range extenders only charge the battery, making them more efficient and quieter. Ideal Auto uses this technology in models like the Ideal ONE, which I believe addresses many pain points of electric vehicles, especially in big cities where battery costs are high and charging is difficult. This design is both economical and practical, making it a great transitional choice toward pure electric vehicles.

As a car owner who frequently drives family members around, my understanding of the Ideal range-extended electric vehicle is that it's particularly practical, especially for daily use. I've been using this type of car for a while now - electric drive for commuting to work, which is cost-effective and eco-friendly; on weekends when going on longer trips, if the battery runs low, the small engine automatically kicks in to generate electricity, ensuring the journey isn't interrupted and eliminating range anxiety. The interior is spacious, quiet, and comfortable, unlike the noise of conventional fuel cars. Overall, it combines the advantages of both electric and fuel-powered vehicles, and it's simple to operate - just get in and drive. If you often drive on highways or encounter complex road conditions, this feature provides peace of mind. I believe this type of vehicle is becoming increasingly popular and suits the pace of modern life.

From a cost-saving perspective, I think the Li Auto range-extended electric vehicle is quite economical. The initial purchase price might be higher, but the operating costs are significantly lower: daily driving is powered by electricity, which is cheaper than gasoline; during long-distance trips, the engine generates electricity efficiently, resulting in considerably lower overall fuel consumption. In the long run, it saves money on fuel and maintenance, and reduces time spent queuing at gas stations. There are also more government subsidies available. In summary, it's a smart investment that helps reduce expenses while being environmentally friendly.

What is the scrap age for the Raptor?

The Raptor is classified as a large or medium-sized commercial passenger vehicle, with a scrap age of 15 years. Scrap regulations for private vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrap regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap age of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrap age of 10 years.

Should the car's air conditioning use internal or external circulation when cooling?

When using the car's air conditioning for cooling, it is best to use the internal circulation mode. Using internal circulation in summer is more fuel-efficient and provides the best cooling effect. However, it should not be used for extended periods as this prevents air circulation inside the car. To achieve maximum air conditioning cooling efficiency, internal circulation should be used in summer. More information about car air conditioning is as follows: 1. Internal and external circulation: Internal circulation means the air inside the vehicle is recirculated, meaning the air coming out of the vents is from inside the cabin, and the cabin is sealed off from the outside atmosphere. External circulation means outside air is drawn into the cabin, so the air from the vents comes from outside, and the cabin is open to the atmosphere, not sealed. 2. Advantages and disadvantages: Internal circulation means the air blown by the blower circulates inside the car, with no outside air involved, offering advantages like fuel efficiency and faster cooling (or heating), but the disadvantage is poor air renewal inside the car. External circulation means the blower draws fresh air from outside into the car, ensuring better air quality inside, but cooling (or heating) is slightly slower and less fuel-efficient. Car owners should regularly clean and maintain the air conditioning system to ensure a fresh air environment inside the car.

What to Do When a Volkswagen Magotan Suddenly Stalls at Low Speed?

When a Volkswagen Magotan suddenly stalls at low speed, you can try to restart the engine by shifting into the corresponding gear after stalling and using the vehicle's motion to turn the engine. The following are the reasons why the engine may suddenly stall at low speed: 1. Throttle: If it becomes stuck or deformed due to external force, it can easily cause stalling. 2. Stepper motor: Open circuit, short circuit, or burn-out aging can all lead to stalling at low speed. 3. Fuel system issues: Insufficient fuel pressure or a faulty fuel pump can also cause stalling. 4. Clogged fuel injector: Poor fuel atomization due to clogged injectors can result in abnormal engine operation and potential stalling. 5. Igniter burn-out: The ignition voltage can reach tens of thousands of volts, and oil accumulation at the ignition coil end can cause burn-out, leading to abnormal ignition and easy stalling.

What is the black strip under the front of the car called?

The black plastic under the front of the car is called a skid plate. More information about engine skid plates is as follows: 1. Material: The development of engine skid plates in China has mainly gone through three stages: hard plastic, resin, iron, and aluminum alloy. Different types of skid plates have fundamentally different characteristics. However, one crucial point that must be strictly ensured is whether the engine can sink normally after installing the skid plate—this is the most critical issue. 2. Function: It keeps the engine compartment clean, preventing road water and dust from entering the engine compartment. It also protects the engine from being struck by sand, stones, and hard objects kicked up by tires during driving, and prevents uneven road surfaces and hard objects from scraping or hitting the engine.
