GM said, I can't play your game. Plug-in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, but the word "extended-range electric vehicle" was still used in the publicity, which played a marginal role. Anyway, American advertising law doesn't care about these.
Another German partner, BMW, is willing to cooperate with the policy of "extended range hybrid vehicle". Originally, the fuel tank could be filled with 10, which was forced by the software to be limited to 7.2L. In this way, the fuel cell battery life is 120km, and the pure electric battery life is almost 1 16km, and it is promoted to the "extended range electric vehicle" camp.
In the history of automobile development, hybrid electric vehicle can only be regarded as a transitional model. The biggest reason why a hybrid vehicle is not a new energy source is that it is a new energy vehicle only if it is powered by new energy sources other than fuel. Its appearance will not produce pollutants such as carbon dioxide, but will make our air cleaner. In the future when fuel resources are decreasing and air quality is declining, perhaps new energy is the future development direction.
The competition of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle PHEV is mainly based on the logical thinking of new energy vehicles. The main markets are concentrated in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Tianjin and other places, and the main leaders are BYD and SAIC passenger cars. Generally speaking, PHEV has obvious local policy support, certain first-Mover advantage and market word-of-mouth effect. BYD and SAIC passenger cars, which have established technical and word-of-mouth advantages in the early stage, are gradually expanding the launch models and efforts of PHEV, and have made remarkable achievements in broadening their own markets, expanding to the first-tier and restricted cities.
From a big perspective, because there is no direct cash subsidy at the central level, there is still some inner superiority in choosing a hybrid car owner. On the one hand, almost all HEVs are foreign brands at present, and they are very confident in the safety of vehicles and some warranty terms. Generally speaking, PHEV is still being promoted in urban areas where the first-line license plates are restricted. Many vehicles participate in the operation, and the demand of ordinary consumers for new energy license plates is relatively rigid.
