New energy vehicles use fuel cells, hydrogen energy and solar energy. The types of new energy vehicles include: pure electric vehicles (BEV), range-extended electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicles, etc. Models of new energy vehicles include: BYD Han, Ora Black Cat, Tesla Model 3, Changan Benben EV, NIO ES6, etc. Taking the 2021 Tesla Model 3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4694mm, width 1850mm, height 1443mm, wheelbase 2875mm, and trunk volume 425l.

The energy used in new energy vehicles depends on the specific model. Mainstream pure electric vehicles are entirely powered by electricity, drawing energy from batteries. In my research on vehicles, I found that these cars produce zero emissions and use clean energy. Plug-in hybrids can utilize both gasoline and electricity, offering the flexibility to refuel or recharge. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles generate electricity onboard using hydrogen. The source of energy is also crucial; if the electricity for charging comes from solar or wind power, it becomes even more environmentally friendly and carbon-efficient. Having driven many new energy vehicles, I can say that the advantage of pure electric cars is their low daily operating cost—charging expenses are about half the cost of fuel—though charging times are slightly longer. Hydrogen refueling is quick, but unfortunately, hydrogen stations are scarce. Future developments integrating more renewable energy sources can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and make transportation more sustainable. From an environmental perspective, I recommend choosing these options.

I've been driving a new energy vehicle for several years now. Essentially, the energy sources are electricity or hydrogen. Pure electric vehicles, like mine, rely entirely on charging stations or home charging, which is convenient and cost-effective. Plug-in hybrids can run on both gasoline and electricity, making them suitable for long-distance travel. I haven't tried hydrogen vehicles yet, but I've heard they can be refueled in minutes, though the stations are scarce. Energy replenishment is crucial. In cities, there are plenty of charging points, and I often use fast-charging stations that take about half an hour. In rural areas, hybrids are a more reliable choice. From an environmental perspective, using electricity is less polluting than gasoline, especially when using renewable energy sources. Daily costs are lower, with significant savings on fuel, and maintenance is simpler. I'd recommend test-driving first to see if the energy usage matches your lifestyle needs. Don't just focus on the brand when choosing a car; prioritize practical convenience.

New energy vehicles operate on clean energy sources: pure electric ones use battery-powered electric drives; plug-in hybrids can run on either electricity or gasoline; hydrogen fuel cell vehicles generate electricity from hydrogen. If the energy sources are connected to solar or wind power, emissions can approach zero. Compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles that pollute the atmosphere, new energy vehicles are more environmentally friendly. Supporting sustainability through personal actions, I choose zero-emission models when changing cars to help protect the environment.
