What does the term 'fuel consumption under battery depletion' mean for hybrid vehicles?
1 Answers
Hybrid vehicle fuel consumption under battery depletion refers to the situation where the battery in the engine compartment cannot maintain a normal charge level. Prolonged battery depletion indicates that the vehicle's battery has reached its replacement cycle. When the battery of a motor vehicle fails to function properly, it is necessary to have the battery inspected at a local service center or repair shop. If the battery's degradation has exceeded 90%, it should be replaced promptly. A hybrid vehicle is equipped with two power sources: a thermal power source (generated by a traditional gasoline or diesel engine) and an electric power source (battery and electric motor). By utilizing an electric motor in hybrid vehicles, the powertrain can be flexibly regulated according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, keeping the engine operating within an optimal performance range, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
