What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for hybrid vehicles?
2 Answers
Hybrid vehicles consume approximately 2 liters per kilometer. Below is an introduction to hybrid vehicle-related content: 1. Hybrid Vehicles: Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine fuel and electric power, utilizing an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine, with the engine being the primary power source. 2. Characteristics of Hybrid Vehicles: The electric motor assisting the engine provides strong and smooth power during normal driving. They contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction. Being fuel-efficient, they use electric power for low-speed driving and switch to fuel only during high-speed driving when greater power output is required, thereby reducing fuel consumption and making them suitable for urban driving.
I've been driving a hybrid for three years, and fuel consumption really depends on the situation. In city traffic with frequent electric assist, it can drop to around 5L/100km, roughly 0.35 yuan per kilometer. On highways where the engine runs continuously, consumption rises above 6L, working out to over 0.4 yuan. My last Shanghai-Hangzhou trip with AC and two passengers showed 5.8L on the display, but actual refueling calculations came to 0.42 yuan/km. Keeping tires properly inflated and avoiding sudden acceleration can save you a milk tea's worth. For regular short commutes with sufficient battery charge, you'll see even better savings.
