Advantages and disadvantages of hybrid electric vehicles

Advantages of Hybrid Electric Vehicle

1, good fuel saving effect: the biggest feature of hybrid vehicles is "fuel saving". When starting and accelerating, with the help of the motor, the fuel consumption can be reduced, and the internal combustion engine can be turned off, driven only by the battery to achieve "zero" emission. The motor can effectively make up for the weakness of insufficient torque when the internal combustion engine is at low speed, and accelerate faster.

2. Strong endurance: Compared with pure electric vehicles, the endurance of hybrid electric vehicles is much higher than that of pure electric vehicles. At present, the infrastructure such as charging piles in China is still not perfect. Hybrid electric vehicles, like traditional gasoline vehicles, only need to go to the gas station to refuel, which is more convenient and simple to operate, and does not change the car's usage habits.

3. Low maintenance cost: In everyone's impression, the maintenance cost of the battery is very expensive. However, manufacturers often give batteries a long warranty period, such as 5 years and 200,000 kilometers or 10 years120,000 kilometers. During the warranty period, if there is a problem with the battery, the manufacturer will guarantee the car or replace it with a new battery. Therefore, the maintenance of hybrid cars is not as expensive as expected.

Disadvantages of hybrid vehicles

1, there are few models to choose from: at present, there are very few models for consumers to choose from in the market of automobile enterprises.

2. Expensive: Hybrid vehicles are generally more than 50% more expensive than fuel vehicles. The cost of buying a car is too high for people who are not well off. Although the use cost is low, it will take at least three years for the fuel vehicle to be balanced.

3. Maintenance cost: Although the hybrid car is reliable enough, due to the low popularity, there are few repair shops capable of repairing and maintaining the hybrid car, which is especially obvious in the third-tier and below cities, resulting in driving to other places for every repair or maintenance.
