The so-called electric vehicle with another hybrid concept, the concept of extended range electric vehicle, is actually to load a diesel engine or gasoline engine on the car, but the role of this diesel engine or gasoline engine is not to drive the vehicle, but to charge the front motor, and then rely on the motor to drive the vehicle. ＂＂

In this way, the fuel consumption of the car will become very low, and at the same time, it will also reduce emissions, because the horsepower and displacement of the gasoline and diesel engines used in such extended-range electric vehicles will be quite small.

In this way, the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction and cost saving is achieved, but such a car is not without shortcomings.

The biggest disadvantage of this extended-range electric vehicle is that the horsepower is relatively weak, and the linear output of the car is not good.

The on-board motor often has a weakness, that is, the power is small, but the torque is large, so that the speed of the car is better, but when the speed reaches a certain peak, it will be very difficult to speed up, which is also the main reason why the speed of the general hybrid car is driven by the motor alone, and the speed is difficult to exceed 100 yards.

Such a car is enough when driving in the city, but if you have to face more complex road conditions, you may be a little more than willing to do it.

For example, when you drive on a slope or a section with many curves, the linear output of the car will not be too good, and it will often be slow.

Or when the people on the car, or when the load is large, the speed will not be able to be raised, and so on.

But when this idea is combined with hybrid vehicles, it will become extremely powerful, and we all know that the current hybrid car, the main way to charge the battery, is to rely on the recovery of kinetic energy when braking.

And in the current year of 2005, the way of plug-in charging the car has not been widely promoted, so even Toyota, which has been doing hybrid cars for the longest time, is difficult to solve the problem of charging the Prius.

It is difficult to fully charge the car's battery just by relying on the car's braking kinetic energy recovery and charging the battery at high speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.

After all, not all car owners have to go on the highway every day, so the Prius will also face the problem of frequent battery shortages.

In the following years, in order to solve this problem, the Prius directly launched the third mode of plug-in charging the car directly on the third generation.

And some other new hybrid car manufacturers are also thinking of strange ways to solve this problem, but in the end, most of their methods are the same as the Prius, choosing to add an external charging port to the car to charge the car.

But this method is not perfect, you must know that at that time, there were not many countries around the world that built charging stations on the side of the road specifically for charging hybrid vehicles.

Moreover, the charging time will also be due to voltage and other problems, resulting in different charging time and other problems.

Someone once thought of a quick battery replacement for an electric car, but in the end this idea was just a flash in the pan, after all, the cost of doing so was too great.

But in 2011, Chevrolet launched a Volanda model, which is a holographic electric vehicle.

They equipped the car with an internal combustion engine, but the main role of this internal combustion engine is not to intervene in the driving work of the car, but when the battery of the car is less than 30%, the internal combustion engine will intervene in the work, and then drive the generator, part of the power is involved in the operation of the car, and the other part directly charges the battery. …,

At that time, when this car was just launched, the data released also shocked Jin Xiaoqiang, the maximum travel of this car in electric drive mode can reach 527.5 kilometers, far exceeding the distance of more than 20 kilometers of pure electric drive form of the third generation of Prius.

But the data released by this car later also surprised Jin Xiaoqiang, with a price of more than 500,000 yuan, and the fuel consumption of this car reaching 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that this car was really enough to cheat.

Aren't you kidding?

With such high fuel consumption and such a high selling price, what is the meaning of your so-called new energy vehicle?

It's no wonder that after this car was launched by Chevrolet, it didn't sell a few at all, and whoever bought this car would really choose such a broken car after being kicked by a donkey.

Chevrolet's system, the most expensive is the planetary gear system inside, it is this system that causes the cost of the whole car to be outrageous, but if you abandon such a system, it is not impossible to make a pure extended-range electric vehicle.

For example, later at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, Zhonghua Automobile once launched a concept version of the extended-range power car.

The whole vehicle omits this complex planetary gear system, but there is an inverter to replace the role of the planetary gear, which can solve this problem well.

In this way, the cost of the whole vehicle will be greatly reduced, and the model will also be reduced to a pure electric vehicle.

The vehicle does not have a particularly big advantage in terms of acceleration and sports performance, the key is fuel economy, energy saving, 0.9L twin-cylinder internal combustion engine configuration, and more than 300 kilometers of electric drive distance, these are the highlights.

Although Zhonghua only launched a concept car at that time, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that if he could carry forward the characteristics of this car, then there would still be a big market for this car in the Celestial Empire.

After all, most of the current car consumers in the Celestial Empire are ordinary people, not all of them are rich, and everyone still cares about the cost of fuel consumption.

And the new generation of consumers, especially the post-70s and post-80s ordinary family car consumers, is not unable to accept the concept of hybrid vehicles, but because the price of hybrid vehicles and later maintenance costs are too expensive, so everyone is shy away from such models.

If you can install such a range-extended drive system on a small car like QQ, then the driving power that the 0.9L internal combustion engine can provide may have better performance.

And such a model, once it enters the low-end model market at an ultra-low price, then it may immediately set off a big storm.

You must know that the current Ricky QQ, which is very popular in the Celestial Empire, this kind of small displacement car, the fuel consumption in the urban area is generally about 6.5 liters, and there are also 4.5 on the suburban highway, and the fuel consumption of almost 100 kilometers is about 5 liters.

However, generally people who drive this kind of car still run more in the urban area, if you can make the fuel consumption of such a small electric car, less than or close to such an average, then such a model, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, is still promising.

Even if the price is slightly higher than QQ, it has an incomparable advantage in fuel consumption, and the most important thing is in workmanship and silence, such a model has an incomparable advantage over a car like QQ.

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang's heart couldn't help but start to get a little excited, of course, this is only the most elementary stage, and it is also the market cultivation stage.

As long as a certain number of consumers who are interested in hybrid vehicles are cultivated within this range, there will be a certain source of customers in the future. …,

It is believed that these consumers, after their economic ability is improved, will also be interested in the more high-end hybrid models launched by Huayang Power.

In fact, Jin Xiaoqiang also has his own ideas about the successor of a higher-level hybrid model, and in his opinion, in the future, concepts like Prius will become a mainstream hybrid car model.

Hybrid drive will be the king of hybrid vehicles in the next ten years.

Especially the third generation of the Prius, and the hot sales of models such as the Prius C, Jin Xiaoqiang already has a clear direction in his heart, and now Toyota is just pushing Toyota's Prius to the second generation.

Their third-generation products will only be launched in 2009, and the Prius C, which has been replaced with lithium batteries, will also be launched in 2012 when lithium battery technology is relatively mature.

This gives me a lot of time to copy their system, the whole Prius system, which is actually not complicated, but the most important thing is, of course, the battery configured on this car.

The operating range that the on-board battery can guarantee in a pure electric mode will be the key to the future of hybrid vehicles.

It seems that after going back, we will have to put a little more effort into the lithium batteries that Binxin Micro has studied.

Compared with the nickel-metal hydride batteries currently used in hybrid vehicles, lithium batteries have the advantages of faster charging, no memory effect, more powerful power, longer cycle life, and easier molding.

Therefore, generally after 2012, new models entering the hybrid vehicle market generally use emerging lithium batteries.

Jin Xiaoqiang pondered, if I remember correctly, next year, that is, in 2006, the world's largest electric hand tool company black&decker, will launch a powerful electric hand tool, once it was launched, it was popular with consumers.

The reason why this electric hand kit has received popularity is because the battery uses lithium iron hydrochloride in the battery, which ensures that the battery is more powerful.

Thus it has opened a big era of lithium batteries, starting from next year, the world's major energy companies will increase investment in the research and development of lithium batteries.

It seems that I also have to get some mature lithium batteries out as soon as possible, so that we can make better hybrid cars and compete with the Prius for the market!
