Why do many people regret buying a plug-in hybrid car? Don't just look at the pros and cons-

Many people regret buying plug-in hybrid cars for both technical and psychological reasons.

In the era of fuel vehicles, we can always hear the saying that there are only two kinds of hybrids in the world, one is Toyota hybrid and the other is other hybrids.

This sentence is placed in the era of new energy vehicles. Simply put, there are only two plug-in hybrids in the world, one is BYD plug-in hybrid, and the other is other plug-in hybrid.

With the rising oil price, many people turn their attention to new energy vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle not only has the ride comfort, power and economy of a pure tram, but also has the long endurance of a fuel vehicle. Plug-in hybrid cars are very popular for a time.

As a plug-in hybrid car owner, I advise everyone to calm down and think twice. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has many advantages and disadvantages. Only with a strong model and a flat mind can you buy a satisfactory car.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can use petroleum, engines and gearboxes, as well as electric drives and batteries. Both fuel vehicles and pure trams need maintenance items, and plug-in hybrid vehicles are prone to failure.

To put it bluntly, plug-in hybrid vehicles inherit the advantages of fuel vehicles and pure trams, and also inherit the disadvantages. The later maintenance cost is higher, and the failure probability is higher than that of fuel vehicles and pure trams.

Nowadays, most consumers who drive hybrid cars are satisfied, but once they encounter a fault or accident in the core component area, the high maintenance cost will make people collapse and go crazy.

You can go to a platform to have a look at the plug-in hybrid car of a luxury car brand. The power battery failed to charge, and the 4S shop refused the warranty on the grounds that the chassis was damaged. The maintenance cost is as high as 50 thousand yuan.

We don't discuss who is right or wrong here. What should we do if this happens to us?

We all know that the manufacturer has a warranty policy for the three power systems, and the new energy exclusive insurance also includes the three power systems in the scope of claims. However, without the supervision of a third party, it is entirely up to the manufacturers and insurance companies to decide how to guarantee or not to guarantee the quality.

This kind of behavior of being both a referee and an athlete is difficult to convince consumers. If there is a quality assurance policy implemented according to regulations, hello, I am good, hello everyone; If the warranty policy is not well implemented, the maintenance fee will make many people regret buying new energy vehicles on the spot.

What kind of plug-in hybrid car has a low failure rate?

At present, many brands are developing plug-in hybrid systems, including direct 3-speed, 2-speed and 8AT gearboxes. Hybrid power system with gears can improve transmission efficiency and further reduce energy consumption, but its reliability needs to be tested by the market and consumers.

I don't mean to say that these hybrid systems are not good, but that the machinery follows the principle of "don't add entities unless necessary". The simpler the mechanical structure, the lower the probability of failure and the lower the maintenance cost. It is not a good thing to complicate the hybrid system.

Sometimes the owner regrets not buying a plug-in hybrid system, but not buying a plug-in hybrid car with higher reliability, durability and economy.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can do both oil and electricity, but not all plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can keep low fuel consumption in the state of power loss. Due to technical limitations, the fuel consumption of many brands of plug-in hybrid vehicles is higher than that of the same class of fuel vehicles, and the purpose of fuel saving cannot be achieved at all.

BMW 5 Series PHEV is a plug-in hybrid vehicle equipped with a 2.0T( 184 HP) engine and a 17.7 kWh motor. The comprehensive fuel consumption in hybrid mode is 7.3 liters.

With the help of the motor, the fuel consumption is only 0.67 liter less than that of the BMW 5 Series fuel version. In the case of insufficient power, the comprehensive fuel consumption in urban areas will reach about 10 liter, which not only does not save fuel, but increases fuel consumption.

Not only is the fuel consumption high in the state of power loss, but the starting price of the plug-in hybrid version is also much higher than that of the same type of fuel version. The guide price of 5 series PHEV version is 499.9-536.9 million yuan, the guide price of 5 series fuel version is 42.89-55./kloc-0.90 million yuan, and the starting price is 765.438+0 million yuan.

Counting the purchase tax of about 30 thousand, the hybrid version is still about 30 thousand more expensive than the fuel version. Now the exclusive insurance for new energy vehicles is 65,438+00%-20% more expensive than that for fuel vehicles. Some brands of plug-in hybrid vehicles neither save fuel nor money.

If you buy a plug-in hybrid car to save fuel, you must check the comprehensive fuel consumption before buying it in the state of no power. There are great differences between different plug-in hybrid vehicle technologies.

Honda's Sharp Hybrid e+ and BYD DM-i combine the advantages of plug-in hybrid and oil-electric hybrid, mainly driven by electricity, and the driving experience is the same as that of a pure tram.

Most other plug-in hybrid vehicles are mainly direct-drive engines. If you don't charge and only refuel, the driving experience is still a fuel car with high fuel consumption.

Just like the engine, it is also a 2.0T engine with high power and low power; Some have high fuel consumption and some have low fuel consumption. The difference in technology can only be felt by personal experience, and it is not easy to regret doing your homework before buying a car.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can achieve pure battery life. Take Tang DM-i as an example, pure endurance 1 12km. According to the measured pure endurance of 89km, I need to go to work for 30km every day and charge it every three days. The experience is good, but not all plug-in hybrid cars have a pure battery life above 100km.

BMW 5 Series PHEV, NEDC cruising range of 95km；; Lectra 09 PHEV, NEDC pure electric cruising range of 60KM；; NEDC Passat PHEV cruising range is 63km；; Roewe eRX5 and NEDC have a cruising range of 52 kilometers.

We plan that the endurance achievement rate of these cars is about 80%, and the hybrid car with a cruising range of about 60km in NEDC has a pure endurance of less than 50km, which is basically charged every day.

At this time, the mentality of many car owners began to change, including me. Traveling in urban areas is normal, and high-speed long-distance travel is accidental. There are 360 days a year in urban areas, and plug-in hybrid vehicles have been running as pure trams.

The last time I refueled was six months ago. I was forced to run for hundreds of kilometers because I was worried about the expiration of gasoline and recently used hybrid mode to consume oil. Since the pure electric mode can meet the demand for cars, why did I buy a hybrid car in the first place?

There is a charging pile at home, so it is no trouble to charge it once a day. However, the pure electric vehicle has a short cruising range, high fuel consumption, loud engine starting sound and even a little jitter, so it is inevitable to use the hybrid mode. The driving experience of hybrid mode is far less than that of pure electric mode.

Many hybrid car owners have changed their perception of pure trams and found that the pure electric mode is really fragrant. They are really not used to the feeling of engine intervention and regret not buying a pure tram directly.

In other words, if there are conditions to install charging piles, there is less demand for long-distance vehicles, and it is better to buy plug-in hybrid vehicles than pure trams. Pure trams have lower energy consumption and better driving experience in urban areas. Korean EV, P7 and Trass Model 3 are all good choices.

There are many plug-in hybrid cars on the market now, just like the original oil to electricity. Some car companies see that plug-in hybrid cars are selling well and want to share a piece of it.

However, there is no corresponding technology in a short time, so we can only add batteries and electric drives to the fuel vehicle, just to cope with the green card. The battery life is short, the hybrid technology is poor, and the driving experience is still a fuel vehicle, which cannot reflect the advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

In the future, the development trend of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles must be that the cruising range of pure electric vehicles is more than 200 kilometers, mainly driven by electricity, supplemented by engines, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is below 5L, which is what new energy vehicles should look like.

I know that many people don't have the index of gasoline cars and don't want to buy pure trams. They can only choose plug-in hybrid cars. So remember, the above three shortcomings are summed up in one sentence: "Buying a mainstream plug-in hybrid car will not be easily regretted."

Finally, I would like to ask readers, do you think Li ONE, Ziyou and other extended-range electric vehicles have a future?
