What is the Working Principle of Range-Extended Hybrid Power?
1 Answers
Range-extended hybrid power works by using an electric motor to drive the vehicle, also known as a series plug-in hybrid system. The internal combustion engine in this system serves to drive a generator, which produces electricity to power the battery, electric motor, and other onboard equipment. Range-extended electric vehicles are developed on the basis of pure electric vehicles, with the addition of a range extender. The purpose of installing a range extender is to enhance the driving range of pure electric vehicles and reduce the frequency of charging. The vehicle is purely electric-driven, meaning the internal combustion engine does not provide direct power to the wheels but instead supplies electricity to the electric motor. This setup allows range-extended electric vehicles to maximize the potential of pure electric vehicles and improve their utilization efficiency.
