What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid?
1 Answers
The difference between mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid mainly lies in the power output role of the electric power system. The following is a comparison of the two: 1. Battery: The mild hybrid has a smaller battery, and the electric power can only play an auxiliary role. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has a larger power battery, which allows the vehicle to drive purely on electricity like an electric vehicle. In other aspects of the vehicle, there is not much difference. 2. Mild hybrid: Mild hybrid is also called MHEV, the most common being the 48V mild hybrid. Its voltage is four times higher than the 12V voltage of ordinary fuel vehicles, which can power more electrical equipment. The electric system of this type of vehicle cannot support pure electric driving. Its motor only intervenes when the vehicle is at low speed, which can effectively reduce the fuel consumption of the engine. The battery is recharged by the generator when the vehicle is running. 3. Plug-in hybrid: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have two power systems, electric and fuel, and are equipped with a larger power battery. They can drive purely on electricity for 50 to 110 kilometers, and when the battery is depleted, the engine drives the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be recharged using an external power source, and under pure electric driving conditions, they can achieve the environmental and energy consumption levels of electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrid models are new energy vehicles and can be registered with new energy license plates.
