What is the Difference Between New Energy Vehicles and New Energy (Pure Electric) Vehicles?
1 Answers
New Energy Vehicles and New Energy (Pure Electric) Vehicles have the following differences: I. Different Concepts 1. New Energy Vehicles: Refers to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. New Energy (Pure Electric) Vehicles: Refers to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, using electric motors to drive the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. II. Advantages and Disadvantages 1. New Energy Vehicles: Advantages include low fuel consumption, less pollution, solving the problems of high energy consumption in air conditioning, heating, and defrosting encountered by pure electric vehicles, and excellent overall vehicle performance due to multiple power sources working simultaneously; disadvantages include relatively complex system structures and less noticeable fuel-saving effects during long-distance high-speed driving. 2. New Energy (Pure Electric) Vehicles: Advantages include relatively simple and mature technology, and the ability to charge wherever there is a power supply; disadvantages include the low energy storage per unit weight of batteries, expensive batteries, lack of economic scale, resulting in higher purchase prices; as for usage costs, some trial results show they are more expensive than conventional vehicles, while others are only 1/7~1/3 of conventional vehicles, depending mainly on battery lifespan and local fuel and electricity prices. III. Classification 1. New Energy Vehicles: Include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. 2. New Energy (Pure Electric) Vehicles: Can be classified by purpose into electric cars, electric trucks, and electric buses.
