What is the fuel consumption of a plug-in hybrid on long-distance trips?
1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles typically maintain a fuel consumption of less than 3L on long-distance trips. Additional information is as follows: 1. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a type of new energy vehicle that bridges the gap between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. They feature both the conventional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the pure electric vehicle's battery, electric motor, control circuitry, and a larger battery capacity with a charging port. PHEVs combine the advantages of both pure electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), enabling zero-emission driving in pure electric mode while also extending the vehicle's range through hybrid mode. 2. Evaluation: In daily use, PHEVs can function as pure electric vehicles as long as the single trip does not exceed the battery's provided range (generally achieving over 50 kilometers is not an issue), allowing for zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. Due to the high cost of batteries, it is challenging for these vehicles to enter households at a lower price in the short term. However, influenced by domestic automotive development trends and increased government subsidies, the widespread adoption of plug-in hybrid models in households is imminent.
