Hybrid cars, that is, cars, are "smart guys" between traditional fuel vehicles and cars. They use (such as gasoline engines) and cooperate with each other, which is both fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. Let’s tell you some main types of hybrid cars in vernacular. Although you can’t provide a picture description, you can help understand them by imagining keywords or searching for corresponding pictures on the Internet.
1. （）：
This is the most common type of hybrid, which can be used without plugging in. It has a small battery, which is charged by the energy recovered when braking, or helps to charge when it is "idle". When driving at low speed or starting at ordinary times, the quiet motor works; When running at high speed or needing great power, the engine will intervene again. In this way, we can not only enjoy the smoothness and quietness of electric vehicles, but also avoid endurance anxiety.
2. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV):
Plug-in hybrid is like an "enhanced version" of ordinary hybrid, with a large battery that can be recharged. After being fully charged, it can be driven by pure electricity in a short distance, just like driving an electric car. Zero emission also saves money. After the battery is exhausted, it becomes a common hybrid mode, and the internal combustion engine and the motor work together. Suitable for friends who have the conditions to charge at home and commute not too long every day.
3. 48V light mixing:
Light mixing is an example of "small changes, big effects". It adds a small motor and a 48-volt battery to the conventional fuel car. This small motor can help the engine when starting and accelerating, reducing fuel consumption; It can also recover energy when braking. The driving experience does not change much, but the fuel consumption is obviously reduced, which is suitable for car owners who want to save fuel and do not want to change their driving habits.
4. REEV:
Extended-range hybrid is a bit special. Its engine does not directly drive the wheels, but is like a "charging treasure", which supplies power to batteries and motors. The car is always driven by the motor, which only starts when the battery is low to charge the battery. In this way, you can enjoy the driving experience of electric vehicles, and you are not afraid of not finding a charging pile during long-distance travel.
5. Structural differentiation: series, parallel,;
Series: the engine only generates electricity, and the electricity is supplied to the motor to drive the wheels, similar.
Parallel connection: both the engine and the motor can drive the wheels individually or together, and the power switching is flexible.
Series-parallel type (such as THS): The engine and motor can be driven independently and work together, which is complex but efficient.
To sum up, hybrid cars are varied and have their own characteristics. Which one to choose depends mainly on your daily use needs, charging conditions and personal preferences. If you want to save fuel and environmental protection, drive smoothly, and don’t want to be troubled by charging, ordinary may be the most suitable; If it is convenient to charge at home, there are many short distances and few long distances, plug-in hybrid is a good choice; If you just want to make small changes to save energy, you may wish to consider 48V light mixing; If you like pure electric driving and are not afraid of long distance, then look at the hybrid. Remember, the key is to choose the hybrid car that suits your life!
