When does the Leiling Hybrid start using gasoline?
2 Answers
Leiling starts using gasoline when it is started, and then switches to electricity while driving. The following is a detailed introduction to hybrid vehicles: Composition: The power system of a hybrid electric vehicle mainly consists of a control system, drive system, auxiliary power system, and battery pack. Working Principle: At the beginning of the vehicle's operation, 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's energy demand is high, the auxiliary power system and the battery pack simultaneously provide energy to the drive system. Advantages: High fuel economy and superior driving performance. The engine of a hybrid vehicle uses gasoline, and with the assistance of the electric motor during starting and acceleration, fuel consumption can be reduced. 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 lack of low-speed torque in the internal combustion engine.
I've been driving the Leiling Hybrid for over half a year and noticed that the engine's activation timing mainly depends on speed, battery level, and throttle depth. During urban commuting, starting from traffic lights is usually purely electric, and you can continue driving electrically for a short distance if the speed is kept below 30 km/h. However, the engine tends to start once you exceed 40 km/h. The engine automatically kicks in to charge when the battery level drops below about 20%. Rapid acceleration by pressing the throttle hard will also trigger the engine. On highways, it mostly runs on fuel unless you're going downhill or maintaining a steady speed on flat roads. This design results in very low fuel consumption; I can get around 900 km on a full tank. I recommend using Eco mode more often and gently pressing the throttle to maintain a steady pace, which helps delay engine intervention and allows more electric driving. Regular checks on battery health can optimize the system's response.
