2 Answers
The differences between Benben EC and EV: 1. Different tire models: Benben EC tire model is 165/60r14; Benben EV tire model is 175/60r15. 2. Different power: Benben EC motor is 61ps; Benben EV motor is 75ps. The body dimensions of Benben EV are: length 3730mm, width 1650mm, height 1530mm, wheelbase 2410mm, front track 1420mm, rear track 1430mm. The suspension system of Benben EV is: torsion beam non-independent suspension and MacPherson independent suspension.
Actually, the main difference between the Benben EC and EV lies in their powertrain systems. I've driven this car several times and found that the EC is purely fuel-powered, relying on a gasoline engine. It's convenient to refuel but has higher fuel consumption, making it suitable for long-distance travel. On the other hand, the EV is fully electric, powered by a battery after charging. It accelerates quickly and runs quietly, but has limited range and requires frequent charging. In terms of cost, the EC has a lower purchase price but higher fuel expenses, while the EV is more expensive initially but saves significantly on electricity. Maintenance also differs: the EC's engine requires regular oil changes and upkeep, which can be troublesome, whereas the EV's simpler structure mostly eliminates these needs, though battery lifespan is a concern. Personally, I feel the EV is absolutely great for daily short commutes in the city, but the EC is more reliable for long trips.
