Nowadays, more and more people are considering buying new energy vehicles, but it is difficult to choose between different types. Pure electric, plug-in hybrid, oil-hybrid, and extended-range vehicles each have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. Today, let’s take a look at the four major types of new energy vehicles~
Pure electric EV
Drive mode: driven by motor battery
Battery size: large
Endurance mode: charging or battery replacement
What license plate: green license plate/yellow-green double-color license plate
Advantages: zero emissions, low energy consumption, low noise, environmental protection, fast start, etc. Compared with the internal combustion gasoline engine power system of traditional cars, the cost of electric motors and controllers is lower, and the energy conversion efficiency of pure electric vehicles is higher.
Hybrid electric HEV
Drive mode: engine + battery co-driven, battery charged by the engine
Battery size: small
Endurance mode: can only be refueled
What license plate: blue license plate
Advantages: relatively low fuel consumption, convenient refueling, no high-cost large battery, compared with other new energy vehicles, do not have to worry too much about battery degradation, the price is relatively affordable.
Plug-in hybrid PHEV
Drive mode: engine + battery co-drive
Battery size: moderate
Endurance mode: refueling + charging
What license plate: green license plate/yellow-green dual-color license plate
Advantages: rechargeable and refuelable, dual-purpose, short-distance electricity, long-distance oil and low fuel consumption, to a certain extent alleviate the endurance anxiety.
Extended-range hybrid EREV
Drive mode: use oil to generate electricity, drive with electricity
Battery size: large
Endurance mode: refueling + charging
What license plate: green license plate/yellow-green dual-color license plate
Advantages: The extended-range experience is more like a pure electric vehicle, but because it can be refueled, there is no need to worry about the lack of charging piles and endurance problems for long-distance trips.
