What is the difference between dmi and dm?
2 Answers
Here are the specific differences between dmi and dm: 1. Different advantages: DM-i has multiple advantages that lead other hybrid technologies, and its "core concept" is to prioritize electricity with fuel as a supplement. Architecturally, the DM-i super hybrid is based on a high-capacity battery and high-power motor, relying on the high-power motor for driving during vehicle operation. The main function of the gasoline engine is to charge the battery, and it only directly drives when more power is needed, working in coordination with the motor to reduce load. This hybrid technology differs from traditional hybrid technologies that rely on the engine, thus more effectively reducing fuel consumption. 2. Different core technical components: The core component of BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology is the newly developed Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid dedicated engine, which has two different versions—the 1.5L engine is mainly used in Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used in larger models like the Tang DM-i. 3. Different driving forces: When the DM-i model has sufficient battery power, it operates like a pure electric vehicle, with the motor providing enough power for driving under various road conditions. When the battery power is insufficient, the DM-i model autonomously decides whether to use electricity, fuel, or a combination of both based on the system's operating conditions.
I usually enjoy researching hybrid vehicles, and the difference between BYD's DMI and DM is quite significant. DM is a dual-mode system, previously focused on performance versions like the DM-p, featuring a powerful engine with rocket-like acceleration, perfect for those who love speed, but with higher fuel consumption, requiring frequent refueling in the city. The DMI intelligent dual-mode is an upgraded version, more fuel-efficient because it primarily relies on the electric motor, with the engine mostly just generating electricity. In city traffic jams, it almost runs purely on electricity, quiet and cost-effective, cutting fuel expenses by half in a month. In terms of hardware, DMI uses high-efficiency motors and large batteries, while DM-p is equipped with a high-power engine, offering a driving experience that's either gentle or aggressive. Choosing between them depends on habits: DM is great for highways, while DMI is more economical for commuting. From an environmental perspective, DMI has significantly lower carbon emissions, making it more eco-friendly.
