What license plate is required for the hybrid Odyssey?
1 Answers
Odyssey's hybrid version is classified as a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and requires a blue license plate. If it were a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or a pure electric vehicle (EV), a green license plate would be mandatory. Additional details are as follows: 1. The Odyssey hybrid version is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine combined with an electric motor. The engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 146 hp, a maximum power output of 107 kW, and a peak torque of 175 N·m. The electric motor provides a maximum horsepower of 184 hp, a total power output of 135 kW, and a total torque of 315 N·m. As a hybrid electric vehicle, the Odyssey hybrid does not require separate charging for the electric motor, as the engine automatically charges the motor during driving. 2. The vehicle features two power systems, resulting in higher fuel efficiency and enhanced driving performance. 3. As of October 2019, hybrid vehicles have become increasingly popular. While hybrid vehicles offer numerous advantages, their purchase price is generally higher than that of conventional gasoline-powered models. Additionally, maintenance and repair costs tend to be higher in the long run.
