What license plate does BYD DM-i use?
1 Answers
BYD DM-i uses a green license plate. BYD DM-i: Essentially, DM-i is a combination of range extension and direct drive. At medium and low speeds, the generator first converts fuel into electricity, which is then used to power the electric motor. Any excess electricity is stored in the battery. Benefits of electric motor drive: The internal combustion engine always operates at high-efficiency RPM, maintaining thermal efficiency at its theoretical peak. Generating electricity first and then using it to drive the electric motor results in a transmission efficiency (based on BYD's hardware setup) that is higher than most transmissions, except for dry dual-clutch transmissions. This includes AT transmissions, CVT transmissions, and some wet dual-clutch transmissions. The energy loss in automatic transmissions is much greater than commonly perceived.
