What is the range of the Passat New Energy vehicle?
4 Answers
Passat New Energy, the pure electric range given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 63 kilometers. The following is extended information about the Passat New Energy: Power configuration: The Passat New Energy is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. This car is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1500 to 3500 rpm. Battery used: This car uses a ternary lithium battery and is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Ternary lithium batteries are commonly used in most plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles. These batteries have high energy density and are lightweight. The cathode of a ternary lithium battery is made of ternary materials. Some ternary lithium batteries use nickel, cobalt, and aluminum for the cathode, while others use nickel, cobalt, and manganese.
I've been driving the Passat PHEV for almost a year. The official pure electric range is 60 kilometers, but in actual city driving, it can run about 55 kilometers, and a few more kilometers when the weather is warmer. Every morning, I drive about 20 kilometers to work. The charging station is conveniently located near the company, so I hardly use any fuel, saving a lot of money. On the highway, the electric consumption is faster, reducing the range a bit, but the hybrid mode compensates, allowing an overall range of over 600 kilometers without any issues. Driving habits have a big impact—less braking can improve the range further.
As someone who has some knowledge about cars, the Passat PHEV's range mainly depends on two parts: pure electric and hybrid. In pure electric mode, it can go 60 km under NEDC standards, and around 50 km in real-world conditions. It consumes more electricity in traffic jams, while at high speeds, the gasoline engine provides more assistance. The battery is small but charges quickly, and the overall range with a full tank exceeds 700 km. Factors like temperature and air conditioning can slightly reduce the range, so regular maintenance is needed to maintain optimal performance.
I often take my family out with this car, which has a pure electric range of over 50 kilometers. It's sufficient for daily shopping and picking up the kids. The home charging station can fully charge it overnight—it's a bit slow but convenient. The range decreases slightly when using air conditioning in summer and winter, but overall it doesn't affect stability. It's great for family use—safe and worry-free.
