Which is better, hybrid or plug-in hybrid?
1 Answers
At the current stage, hybrid is better. The main reasons are: 1. Although plug-in hybrids save fuel, the later maintenance costs for the motor and battery are higher, and it is troublesome to frequently charge the vehicle. If the owner does not charge the battery after it is depleted, fuel consumption will increase in fuel mode. 2. Hybrid vehicles are cheaper than plug-in hybrids and eliminate the hassle of charging, while their power, noise reduction, and handling performance are not inferior to plug-in hybrids. 3. For long-distance travel, hybrid vehicles are obviously more suitable and can better utilize their fuel-saving advantages. Technically, hybrid technology is more mature. Of course, in the long run, plug-in hybrids and even pure electric vehicles are the inevitable trend of the future. The market advantages of plug-in hybrids will soon surpass those of hybrids, and significant technological advancements are expected. In the later stages, plug-in hybrids can also be considered.
