When does the Leiling Hybrid start using fuel?
2 Answers
Leiling uses fuel when starting, and then switches to electricity while driving. The following is a detailed introduction to hybrid vehicles: 1. Composition: The power system of a hybrid electric vehicle mainly consists of a control system, drive system, auxiliary power system, and battery pack. 2. Working principle: When the vehicle starts driving, the battery is fully charged, and its energy output can meet the vehicle's requirements, so the auxiliary power system does not need to work. When the battery level drops below 60%, the auxiliary power system starts. When the vehicle requires more energy, the auxiliary power system and the battery pack provide energy to the drive system simultaneously. 3. Advantages: High fuel economy and superior driving performance. The engine of a hybrid vehicle uses fuel, and during starting and acceleration, the electric motor assists, which helps reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, the power performance is better than that of a pure internal combustion engine vehicle of the same displacement, especially during starting and acceleration, as the electric motor can effectively compensate for the low-speed torque deficiency of the internal combustion engine.
I've been driving a Levin Hybrid for several years, mostly in the city. It starts on electric power, which is quiet and fuel-efficient. But once the speed reaches around 40 km/h, for example, when accelerating from 20 to just over 40, the engine kicks in with a hum. If I press the accelerator more aggressively or go up a small slope, the gasoline engine engages even earlier. The same happens when the battery is low—the system automatically switches to ensure power. On the highway, it mostly runs on gasoline due to higher power demands. From my experience, driving smoothly and avoiding sudden acceleration helps maximize electric usage, keeping the average city fuel consumption at just over 4 liters. The hybrid system is quite smart, and regular battery maintenance can extend electric driving time, making it cost-effective and hassle-free in the long run.
